Africa Nomads: Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪

If you’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. I’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 won’t be disappointed :)

Thank you to Felipe, Alejandra, and the whole team. Their deep love for the African continent is something you truly feel in the way they share it with you every single day. For me, that was the most meaningful part: being surrounded by such genuine people during such an extraordinary chapter of life.
I joined my partner at the last minute, and they immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable on a completely new continent.
Felipe shared his passion and insights about hiking and exploring the mountains, both locally and internationally. Alejandra and I connected through our shared love for photography, especially bird photography.
This coliving experience had real depth, and it turned out to be incredible. I enjoyed every activity and adventure we shared together: safaris, hiking, padel, local restaurants, language classes, museums, live music, movie nights, and so much more. There was always something new to discover. Everything was organized thoughtfully, safely, and in a way that made it easy to balance work and travel. The accommodation was great, the people in the houses were easy going and you had access to everything you would expect from a quality coliving experience.

I was plant-based and there was always options cooked with love during our trips outside the city. Nairobi is a vibrant city and you will be able to find great food options too.

Honestly, the best thing you can do is join and create your own chapter with them.

I can’t wait to come back. ❤️🦩

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. :)
