Really an amazing experience joining AfricaNomads for a month in Lamu Kenya

Really an amazing experience joining AfricaNomads for a month in Lamu Kenya. Felt like a vacation among friends, despite the fact there was still work getting done.

Perhaps the most special part is how genuine and real the experience is. The africa nomads hosts are very connected to the area and it opens up incredible doors and experiences that would be out of reach otherwise. Connections with locals made it possible to arrange tours that you simply couldn't otherwise and in a way that supports people within the communities we visited.

While I only visited Lamu, I wouldn't hesitate to join any other trip on offer.

My one month stay in Lamu was nothing short of wonderful

My one month stay in Lamu was nothing short of wonderful. This was my first chapter with AfricaNomads and I couldnโ€™t believe how well planned everything was and how connected the team was with Lamu locals.

The house in the old town has a lot of character and was very spacious. It was walkable to everything you needed, especially the starting point for many of our adventures.

From sunset dhow rides, island hopping, overnight kayaking trips, bike rides on the beach, and endless (and delicious) local meals, there was so much to do and yet many quiet cafes and rooftops to retreat to when needed.

Felipe was our host the whole month and he was incredibly intentional, kind, and attentive to our group. He truly made our time in Lamu unforgettable and ensured our time was used to the fullest.

I couldnโ€™t be more grateful for this experience and hope to return for more chapters someday!

The best 2 months of my life! I highly recommend Africa Nomads for remote working around Africa

The best 2 months of my life! I highly recommend Africa Nomads for remote working around Africa. I did the Zanzibar then Malawi trips and they were the most unforgettable experiences and the fastest wifi I've ever used was in Malawi. Thank you to Felipe, Alejandra and Steve for everything you did to make us all feel so at home!

We loved having you with us in Zanzibar and our first Malawi chapter!

It was a pleasure spending time with you, living the pole pole life and discovering the Warm Heart of Africa together. And indeed in Malawi we have some of the best internet speeds!

We can't wait to welcome you back :)

Much love
the AfricaNomads family

We stayed with Africa Nomads for 3 months, starting in Lamu and continuing with them on their first 2 chapters outside of Kenya to Addis Ababa and Zanzibar

We stayed with Africa Nomads for 3 months, starting in Lamu and continuing with them on their first 2 chapters outside of Kenya to Addis Ababa and Zanzibar. It was by far one of the best experiences weโ€™ve ever had and Iโ€™m already looking forward to our next trip with them โค๏ธ

We were lucky enough to spend time with each of the hosts, Alejandra, Steve, Felipe and Pepe, and words canโ€™t explain how special these 4 people are!! Each of them went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly, despite some of the challenges Africa threw at us ๐Ÿ˜… Their care for their guests is unbelievable; from handling wifi and complicated logistics to spending hours researching how you can do a hobby youโ€™ve mentioned that you like just to make your experience that much better ๐Ÿซถ

But more than anything, their love of Africa and their knowledge of the places we stayed meant that we really felt involved in the local community, something that can be difficult to achieve when travelling.
Overall, they have create something very beautiful here, bringing strangers together that leave feeling like family ๐Ÿซถ I couldnโ€™t recommend them more highly!
We are already keeping an eye out for future locations, we would truly follow them anywhere!!

Having you with us for those three months was so special! โค๏ธ

From Lamu to Addis and Zanzibar, we loved sharing these chapters with you and getting to know you both along the way. You made each place that much more special, and we're so grateful you chose to keep travelling with us beyond Kenya.

This is exactly what AfricaNomads is all about, and having people like you in our community makes it all worth it.

Can't wait to have you back for the next adventure, Malawi, Rwanda, Botswana? You know we'll always find a place for you somewhere in Africa. We are missing you!!! ๐Ÿซถ๐ŸŒ

I've just ended the most incredible 3 month stay with Africa Nomads - from Lamu to Addis Ababa and then to Zanzibar - and I don't know how to appropriately convey the level of appreciation and adoration I have for these incredible humans <3 <3 These folks really KNOW Africa; and it makes a HUGE difference when navigating work and logistics far far from home

Not only do they cater to your every desire, but they're the type of people who sneak gifts into your bag before you leave...

Do yourself a favor and get to know these places with these people. You won't regret it for a second! I will go anywhere Africa Nomads goes. Until we meet again, probably in no more than a few months!

We don't even know where to start! โค๏ธ

Having you with us for these three months has been such a joy, and saying goodbye is never easy when people become so much more than guests. We've loved sharing Lamu, Addis and Zanzibar with you, and all the little moments in between.

Thank you for trusting us, for bringing so much warmth to our community, and for being part of what makes AfricaNomads so special.

And yes, we're already looking forward to the next reunion! Until somewhere in Africa, very soon. ๐Ÿซถ๐ŸŒ

If youโ€™re curious about exploring Africa, Africa Nomads is the perfect place to start

If youโ€™re curious about exploring Africa, Africa Nomads is the perfect place to start. They make the experience seamless, so you can focus on your work instead of figuring out logistics.
I spent five weeks with them, split between Nairobi and Lamu, and enjoyed every moment. Iโ€™ll definitely be back for more adventures.
A special shout-out to Felipe, who went the extra mile to make my stay, local, authentic and memorable. His dedication and problem-solving skills are exceptional!! Thanks as well to Alejandra, who has shared with us all she knows about Lamu and Africa (which is a lot!)
Highly recommended for anyone looking to combine remote work, community, and adventure. Go with an open mind and curiosity and you wonโ€™t be disappointed :)

Thank you for such lovely words! โค๏ธ It means a lot to know you enjoyed your time with us in Nairobi and Lamu. We loved having you as part of the community and sharing these places with you. Felipe and I are so happy you got to experience the local side of Lamu, and we hope there's another AfricaNomads chapter in your future.

There's still so much more of Africa to explore! ๐ŸŒ

I've just finished a 3 month trip with Africa nomad, joining them for chapters in Lamu, Addis Ababa and Zanzibar

I've just finished a 3 month trip with Africa nomad, joining them for chapters in Lamu, Addis Ababa and Zanzibar. It's honestly been one of the greatest experiences I've had.

The hosts are amazing at guiding you through the sometimes chaotic nature of these wonderful locations, go above and beyond to provide internet and always keep you busy with a tailored schedule of activities.

Highly recommend joining them for a chapter or three!

Three months, three chapters, and so many memories! โค๏ธ

We loved having you travel with us from Lamu to Addis and Zanzibar. Thank you for being part of the journey and for embracing everything these places have to offer.

It was such a pleasure having you in our community, and see you somewhere in Africa soon! ๐Ÿซถ๐ŸŒ

Great experience

Great experience. The Africa Nomads team were warm, hospital, informative, & very accommodating. Local staff working at the accommodation were also just as warm & helpful. I joined the Zanzibar trip. Zanzibar was peaceful, relaxed, & beautiful. Fellow nomads were friendly & a great time. Iโ€™d join Africa Nomads again & recommend them to anyone looking to travel to beautiful African countries with an informed, equipped, & friendly team in a co-living & digital nomad experience or group while they work remotely.

We're so happy you enjoyed the island, the people and the community we created together. It's lovely to hear that you felt well looked after by both our team and the staff in the villa. We hope to welcome you back for another AfricaNomads chapter soon.

There's plenty more of Africa waiting for you! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿซถ

AfricaNomads is far more than a coliving experience, it's a cultural journey, a community and a chosen family for modern nomads

AfricaNomads is far more than a coliving experience, it's a cultural journey, a community and a chosen family for modern nomads. They create a rare mix of adventure, friendship, education, cultural immersion and genuine care. Every experience is curated to give a deeper sense of connection to the people and the continent itself. My only wish is that they continue to expand into even more African locations.

This means so much to us! โค๏ธ

Building a community that goes beyond travel has always been at the heart of AfricaNomads, so it's incredibly special to hear that this is what you experienced too. And after your first visit we are so happy we also welcomed you to Lamu and Addis Ababa, being able to get to know you, and travel from the shores of Kiwayuu to the depth of the Danakil has been extra special.

We can't wait to have you with us next year again! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿซถ
