My girlfriend and I took part in the Mida Creek village experience. We had an amazing time with a local family who welcomed us into their home. We took part in a range of activities including an incredible cooking class that allowed us to learn the local cuisine by educating us on the food, how to prep and cook a traditional meal. The family also provided us with a unique experience by teaching us crafts such as how to weave a roof part found on local houses, how to roast cashew nuts grown on the family trees and how to collect, open and enjoy fresh coconut water. Following this wonderful experience we were given a tour of the local area and the families future projects. We enjoyed lounging on beautifully made hammocks on the coast of the creek. After a little break we took an enjoyable canoe trip across the creek with another couple. We explored islands where the mangroves grew and even had the opportunity to plant our own mangrove tree. We forgot our swim wear unfortunately so we didn’t get in for an evening swim but we would highly recommend bringing some as the water was beautifully warm and looked so refreshing. On our journey back to our final destination we loved seeing the local wildlife and stunning flamingos 🦩 on the peaceful water. I would highly recommend this experience. Don’t forget your swimwear. Thank you travel4purpose, it was wonderful.

Wow love the detailed explanation of the Village Experience which is one of our most popular experiences and rightly so, nothing like exploring a new place authentically, emerged in the culture! Thank you for trusting Travel4Purpose!

I cannot recommend T4P enough. We went on an overnight dhow stay with them and the whole thing from start to finish was just AMAZING. Seriously couldn't have asked for anything better. The communication from Shammi during our booking process, to the meal choices to individual tastes and options, down to making sure the kids were well looked after - everything was just spot on. We're looking to sharing more adventures with the T4P team. What amazed me the most was how ethically and environmentally friendly the whole trip was. Just incredible!

This has made our day, maybe even month! It was a pleasure to have you choose T4P and jump out of comfort zones, literally with the kids! Glad you noticed the ethical and environmental aspect, we try :)

The amazing T4P linked us with Local Ocean Conservation in Watamu for a one-week volunteer program as well as a village experience where we cooked local dishes, learned how to climb coconut trees, and went on a canoe ride. If it weren't for T4P we wouldn't have come across this LOC program where we worked with turtles and coastal environments. The second part of our trip was the Mida Creek village experience that was also organized by T4P and we met the most loving family and spent the entire day with them. We can not recommend T4P more for purpose-led trips that truly provide the best travel experience

Sham arranged the most amazing Mombasa town and street food tour with Tyson for me. I honestly had THE BEST day. We explored by TukTuk and by foot, we had lots of local food and drink, I learned all about the history of Mombasa and collected some souvenirs along the way. Tyson is amazing, such a warm and friendly guy who will do anything for you. I am a young female travelling alone, and Tyson made me feel safe and at ease the whole day. I also went on the giraffe walk, this was incredible. The giraffes roam freely in the conservation park, they’re incredible to see. Konde, my tour guide was so passionate and knowledgable and told me all about the other projects the sanctuary take part in too. Nguuni run a clinic for locals, especially pregnant women and their babies where they can get vaccinated and educated about their health. I have learned SO much from both of these days and I’m so grateful to Sham for organising. I’d definitely recommend both days to anyone interested in learning more about Mombasa!

I travelled solo all over Kenya for more than two months. Shammy at Travel4Purpose was "by my side" the whole time ALWAYS ready to help me find the most exciting destinations and fun trips.
She helped me with some of my favourite adventures there like finding a GREAT guide to climb mount Everest with. Sleeping in this wonderful treehouse at Mida Creek with this great family they introduced me too. Sleeping at the coolest boat ever in Kilifi and so much more.
It seemed like everywhere I wanted to go in Kenya they had some experience and connections to the best spots.
I highly recommend you get in touch with them and let them help you plan your dream trip to KENYA.

Palmar, you were such a fab traveller, ready to leave your comfort zone! Thank you so much for trusting us and recommending us, it means the world!

Travel4purpose arranged for us (a group of 6) a city tour of Mombasa. We went around with tuktuks and discovered the city with the help of our amazing drivers.
The booking experience, communication and overall professionalism of T4P was outstanding. Our guides on the day were also great, giving us the true local feel of the city. Definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed this trip curated by Travel4Purpose. Born and bred in Kenya, but I rarely travel locally in a sustainable manner, connecting with local communities. This was an amazing opportunity to do so, particularly when we stayed with a lovely family in an eco-camp in Mida Creek. I also enjoyed doing activities such as kayaking, cycling through a forest and setting sail on a dhow in Watamu. Shammi was very accommodating along the trip and was great company to be with! 100% recommend in seeing the beauty of the Kenyan coast through a unique lens :)

Overall perfect experience. It was well curated, the crew on the boat and chef were amazing. We saw loads of dolphins and then went snorkeling. I will definitley book future trips with Travel4purpose as a lot of thought goes into making the trips fun, varied, reasonably priced, local and authentic.

We really appreciate your words, thank you! Snorkelling is something everyone needs to try out, esp at the Kenyan Coast ;)

I cannot recommend Sham enough. The itinerary she had set out for us, was perfect for us. The highlights were plenty from the overnight dhow, Sunset Canoe on the river and Dolphins and snorkelling. Would highly recommend for those looking for activities to do on the Kenyan Coast - Stress-free

We booked the sunset dhow dinner cruise in Watamu with travel4purpose and had zero regrets. The booking was super easy and any questions were answered quickly and extra travel advice and suggestions given.
We enjoyed the cruise to the fullest, the crew was awesome and the food plenty and delicious. Would do it again in a second! Thank you
