TRAVEL LIKE A LOCAL
Would you like to travel and immerse yourself
completely in the place and culture when you go on holiday? There’s one sure
way, travel like a local! You’ll find unique hidden gems, stumble upon local
treats and meet the most delightful people along the way. Curious? Here’s how!
Stay at lodges, camps and other community owned
facilities that allow you to experience the local people and their cultures, meet
and mix with them in a more personal manner. Aside from learning a lot and enjoying
a spectacular holiday, you’ll take away so many special interactions with you
while helping the community too. We’re invested in and passionate about working
with community owned places and projects, so it’s all up to you; where do you
want to go and what do you want to do?
Another tip? Try booking in a walking city tour. Go
out and explore the area you’re holiday-ing
in on foot and truly get down and discover what there is to offer away from the
go-to touristy spots. We truly enjoy taking you around on our arranged walking
tours, to see an area for what it really is and experience it in a much more
authentic way. You’ll also have a lot more mobility to stop when you see
something interesting, you’ll be able to interact directly with people and just
have an all-round adventure exploring a new place by actually diving fully in!
In addition to a walking tour, how about trying a
culinary tour too? Experiencing a place through its food is another super fun
way to get to know it better. By going to eat at small vendors and interesting,
quirky restaurants in a new place, you’ll have a better understanding of the
cultures and get to mix with the locals. We absolutely love curating food tours
across the city and we bet you’d love them too!
On the same point, while you delve into the streets to
explore and eat, why not shop local for mementos and beautiful souvenirs to
take home with you? We offer all our guests a WAPI? Box, to allow them to
support and have a taste of local, ethical Kenyan artisans and brands. Head off
the beaten track when it comes to your shopping and avoid malls as often as you
can.
Lastly, if you’re feeling particularly adventurous,
why not attempt a ride using the local transport? Jump on a Tuktuk while at the
coast, or hop on a boda (motorbike)
for a quick tour of the place. Figuring your way around using local transport
will open many doors to what you can experience and explore as you’ll be able
to access areas mainly frequented by locals and you can get tips and insights
from your driver as to where to find hidden gems.
