    Hello. If you are reading this and considering going to Harambe, I urge you to reconsider. I would like to share my experience and leave you to come to your own conclusion.
    We brought my son to Spain to receive Ibogaine treatment from Harambe. From the time we arrived my son was in contact with Cathy. He wasn’t feeling well and she was advising him as to what to do. My son had been taking Kratom with synthetic additives for several months. He was also on prescription Valium. He has Fully detoxed from both substances before arriving in Spain. He had been off Kratom for over a month and Valium for 2 weeks. He was only taking the Valium for the Kratom withdrawal. So, a short while- 3 weeks.
    My son was sweating, had a high heart rate, and high anxiety. Cathy advised him to come and pick up morphine from her. Which we did. He took it as she prescribed but he was still feeling bad. The follow morning she advised him to come pick up some more. He took the additional morphine but still felt sick. The third day was the day he was – and I use the word “admitted” very loosely as this place is just someone’s home with a truilo on the property. He spent the afternoon and night there. Cathy gave him a small dose of ibogaine in the morning. The nurse arrived and checked him over. The nurse – Cathy and Balil’s employee sent my son to the Emergency room to be checked because of his high heart rate. Balil took him to the hospital. We met them there. Before entering Balil instructed us not to mention the morphine, ibogaine or that he was there for ibogaine treatment at Harambe. My son was receiving treatment at the hospital while we all- Balil, myself and my husband were in the waiting room. My son was communicating with me via text while he was in the emergency room. After a doctor checked him out he was diagnosed with a blood infection. He had high white blood cell count, enlarged red blood cells and high heart rate. I shared the texts with my husband and Balil while we were in the waiting room. After an hour Balil left the hospital to have dinner. My son was in a state of confusion, and unstable. He was prescribed antibiotics and Valium because they felt his anxiety needed to be addressed.
    We- (my husband and I) took our son back to our airbnb. We made sure he was comfortable and let him rest. The following morning we texted Harambe to request a refund. My son had a blood infection but Cathy insisted it was due to Valium withdrawal and he should come back for ibogaine. I have talked to the new center we chose. They said if we had taken him back to Harambe he would have died! Cathy refused our refund. She only cares about money. Not helping people, not providing safe, ethical ibogaine to people suffering. I can only say I’m beyond disgusted by the treatment my son received. Cathy stated she already started the ibogaine so there was no refund. She was sure to give him that small dose so she could claim he “used resources” that cost Harambe money. First she had no right to prescribe the morphine, or the micro dose of ibogaine. He ate nothing and spent the night in that stinky truilo.
    I urge you to please receive your ibogaine treatment from a real ibogaine provider. One that cares about educating you, your safety, wellbeing and recovery. That’s not Harambe! There are many other ethical places to receive treatment from people not on drugs themselves!
    You are in a fragile state when you are using drugs and seeing treatment. Take care of yourself by choosing wisely. Chose a provider that truly cares about you safely and success, not their pockets.

      We cannot comment publicly on individual cases however we can state that if someone lies on their application form about the substance from which they want detoxed and arrive in a state where they are clearly unable to take the treatment, not having prepared, it is clearly stated in our policy that a refund is not possible. I have clear evidence that this person was not prepared properly for the treatment and did not adhere to the protocol which they were given, at no stage were we given any medical records after the person left.

    Le centre Harambe Detox, c’est un lieu de transfo incroyable où j’ai vu de vrais miracles. Parti des ténèbres, j’ai avancé étape par étape vers la lumière, me libérant de mes addictions pr enfin devenir la meilleure version de moi-même. Cathy & Bil, tjrs présents, offrent un soutien sans faille pr aider chacun à passer de la souffrance à la sérénité. Ce centre, c’est une alchimie unique où, comme le sel purifie, l’âme & le corps retrouvent équilibre et éclat

    I was just here in 2025 after searching for years for the perfect one. I dont think many can compete with this.
    Highly recommended. Daniel from Norway

    Genuine people, they know exactly what they’re doing and they do it from the heart. The small talks I had with Catherine before the session cleared my doubts and made me feel I’m in good hands and that was important for my trip.

    Bilal is another story, Bilal is an original soul, the soul I trusted when I was in my most vulnerable state and he took my hand and guided me through my healing journey, positive, encouraging and has answers, someone I will always remember.

    This plant is one of God’s gifts to the world to remind us that no matter how fucked up your life can get, there’s always this door to your inner self that you can open and go back and fix things. My journey was too personal to talk about it here, but one thing I guarantee in the least, a better version of yourself comes back from that door.

    If you’re looking for a fancy luxurious resort run by businessmen then Harambe is not your place. If you’re looking for a simple authentic experience guided by experienced people with good intentions then Bilal and Cathy are your people.
