Psychedelic retreats South Africa prices

Psychedelic retreats in South Africa vary significantly in price, generally ranging from approximately R28,000 for a shared chalet to over R54,000 for a private villa for a multi-day retreat, or around R1,900 to R2,500 per infusion for clinical psychedelic-assisted therapy. 

Important Legal Considerations

It is important to note that while psychedelic drugs are generally illegal in South Africa, some specific substances, such as ketamine, are approved for use in a controlled medical setting when administered by qualified healthcare professionals. Many non-clinical retreats operate in a legal grey area, and users should be aware of this status.
