Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers - Kilifi
Ever wanted to have breakfast with a giraffe without it stealing your toast? In Kenya, our lodges make it almost possible! Swap your noisy neighbors for a pride of lions (they are much quieter, promise). Whether you fancy a luxury tent in the Maasai Mara or a beach house in Mombasa where the monkeys might critique your swimsuit, we have it all. Don't just sit there; the savannah won't explore itself! Grab a cool spot, avoid the sunburn, and let the wild adventure begin. Karibu Kenya!
