Founding Cohort Now Forming
Africa's first community-first AI digital nomad village. Work from the mountains. Learn with Kgubetswana. Build with Ubuntu. Open to the community and the world.
Clarens AI Digital Nomad Village is anchored in Kgubetswana, Clarens, Free State — where local youth train in AI, where digital nomads build alongside the community, where tourism becomes reciprocal exchange, and where Ubuntu is the operating system, not a slogan.
Kgubetswana is the anchor, not the backdrop. Local youth, businesses, and leaders are participants, beneficiaries, and hosts.
Practical AI training for school learners, entrepreneurs, artists, and tourism operators. Real tools. Real livelihood impact.
Reliable co-working, high-speed internet, backup power. At 1,800m elevation, 20km from Golden Gate Highlands National Park.
Cultural walks, Ubuntu suppers, AI salons, township innovation showcases. Visitors become contributors — not extractors.
"A person is a person through other people. We build this village not despite our interdependence — but because of it."— Ubuntu philosophy, guiding the Clarens AI Digital Nomad Village
Founding cohort members get permanent recognition, priority access, and the chance to shape the village from the ground up.
Not everyone comes the same way. Choose your path.
You work remotely. You want mountain air, reliable internet, and genuine community — not a soulless co-working space.
You build, research, or teach AI. You want a residency where your work matters — and where you can mentor local learners.
You see the convergence: AI + remote work + African rural innovation + community-first development. You want in early.
You're in Clarens or Kgubetswana. You run a guesthouse, café, tour, or community programme. You want to be part of this.
