Africa Nomads: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 🇪🇹

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 we’ve ever had and I’m already looking forward to our next trip with them ❤️

We were lucky enough to spend time with each of the hosts, Alejandra, Steve, Felipe and Pepe, and words can’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 😅 Their care for their guests is unbelievable; from handling wifi and complicated logistics to spending hours researching how you can do a hobby you’ve mentioned that you like just to make your experience that much better 🫶

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 🫶 I couldn’t recommend them more highly!
We are already keeping an eye out for future locations, we would truly follow them anywhere!!

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!

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!

I'd wanted to visit sub-Saharan Africa but hesitated because I was concerned about issues such as reliable electricity and wifi. I hadn't stayed in a coliving/coworking situation before but when I encountered AfricaNomads it seemed like a good way to experience Africa.

I stayed in Nairobi for six weeks. As a woman in her mid-60s I was a little concerned but everyone was super accepting and invited me everywhere even though most of them were young enough to be my children or grandchildren. :) I really felt like I made lifelong friends during my stay.

Electricity and wifi were generally available, and the stay includes a local sim card and all the data you need. There are plenty of activities you can join in with, or not, including all the standard tourist things as well as hole-in-the-wall experiences you only get from people living there.

Members in my group were definitely there to work, and were generally quiet and tidy. I had such a good experience in Nairobi that I'm planning to join the group again later this year for Lamu and Ethiopia.

Alejandra and Felipe come from the hospitality industry and it really shows. They bend over backwards to provide whatever information or help that you need and were endlessly patient with all our first world demands. :)
