  We show that for all $\ell, k, n$ with $\ell \leq k/2$ and $(k-\ell)$
dividing $n$ the following hypergraph-variant of Lehel's conjecture is true.
Every $2$-edge-colouring of the $k$-uniform complete hypergraph
$\mathcal{K}_n^{(k)}$ on $n$ vertices has at most two disjoint monochromatic
$\ell$-cycles in different colours that together cover all but at most
$4(k-\ell)$ vertices. If $\ell \leq k/3$, then at most two $\ell$-cycles cover
all but at most $2(k-\ell)$ vertices. Furthermore, we can cover all vertices
with at most $4$ ($3$ if $\ell\leq k/3$) disjoint monochromatic $\ell$-cycles.
