From Mombasa you can catch the ferry from Mombasa town center across to Diani and then Matatu to the beach - approx. Volunteers can choose to participate for periods ranging from 1 week to 12 weeks. Longer stays can be arranged directly with the local team, but will be subject to availability and individual visa conditions. Spaces on this project are limited and therefore subject to availability.

Early booking is recommended. Upon arrival into Mombasa volunteers will be collected by a representative of the local project team and transported to the volunteer house accommodation where they will join a full orientation session where a representative from the local team will fill you in on local and regional customs, traveling, rules and recommendations, and of course, what to expect from your volunteering experience in Kenya.

This is a great opportunity to get to know your hosts, meet your fellow volunteers, and ask any last questions you may have. Volunteers on this program are accommodated in a volunteer house, located in a safe and convenient suburb of Mombasa within a short commute to all the main attractions of this fascinating city. Rooms are shared and split by gender. Sheets and basic mosquito nets are provided so volunteers need only bring personal toiletry items.

Wifi is available onsite limited use but we recommend volunteers purchase a sim card with a data bundle on arrival. There are no hot showers as these are not common in Mombasa due to the climate. As with most parts of Africa, laundry facilities are basic and most volunteers simply use the services of a local laundromat. While the accommodation is basic this is part of the challenge and experience of volunteering in a developing country.

With a little patience and a flexible attitude you will quickly get used to your new surroundings. A great home away from home and a wonderful base for your stay in Kenya! Breakfast and dinner is provided at the volunteer house during the working week and 3 meals are provided if you are at your accommodation during weekends. Lunch on weekdays can be taken at small cafes or restaurants where you can try cheap and tasty local food. You are also free to buy bread and other snacks.

The meals provided are mostly vegetarian, local cuisine. Conveniently, there is also a fridge and basic cooking facilities if volunteers would occasionally like to prepare their own meals.

It is not recommended to take motorcycles on highway routes or long distances. For those who prefer, in some cases we can arrange accommodation with a host family who are experienced in hosting international volunteers.

The host family accommodations will involve shared bedrooms and bathrooms.
