Hands down the highlight of my trip to Kenya, such an immersive experience to really understand Kenyan culture with an incredible family who were so welcoming. We’ll remember this for life! Thank you!!
We were a bit skeptical at first but oh I’m SO glad we went ahead and did the village experience. It’ll be my fondest memory of our visit to Kenya and I finally learn’t to make the yummy African chappati. The canoe ride was so authentic, no other tourists in site, we feel so lucky! Great experience, thank you Travel4Purpose
Sham organises everything so beautifully, with really impressive tailor made itineraries. I loved my nights on the Kenyan coast, especially canoeing in Mida Creek! Definitely book with T4P if you can
Really well organised Dhow Cruise on Mida Creek with a whole boat to ourselves, making it feel extra special, especially when we saw all others packed in with 20 people or more!! Knowledgeable boat staff, Toma and Abdul, who ensured my two boys were comfortable when going for a swim in the creek…experience they loved. Sham communicated all arrangements really well throughout the process and was flexible when needed. Would highly recommend!!
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.
