Backpackers in East Africa: Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers in Kilifi (Kenya)
update (03 Nov 2014): Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers has uploaded a great new video... Check it out!
I just stumled on the promo video for Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers in Kenya, felt immediately like staying with them one day and, of course, recommending it to you. The backpackers is located in Kilifi, a coastal resort town about halfway between Mombasa and Malindi (about 60km either way). It was only opened in December 2012 and understands itself as "an experimental model of environmentally and socially conscious living". Distant Relatives offers one private room with ensuite shower and toilet, four private rooms with ensuite shower, five breezy safari tents, a campsite and two eight-bed dorms. Check out the video, feel the vibe and go stay with them! Kudos Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers!
