Distant Relatives Ecolodge and Backpackers is located in the ancient coastal town of Kilifi, on the coast of Kenya, situated midway between Mombasa and Malindi. More specifically it is squeezed between the village of Fumbene, a community-owned forest and the beautiful emerald-blue Kilifi creek.

The name ?Distant Relatives' is a nod to the prevalent Kenyan practice of appropriation, but it also accurately sums up the central principle and aim of our operation; that is, to bring people together to learn and share with one another and build lasting, positive relationships based on an understanding and appreciation of community and sustainability.

Accommodation is offered in dormitories, family and group rooms, en-suite private rooms, and safari tents. Camping is also available. On-site facilities include a bar, restaurant, self-catering kitchen, and a swimming pool. Guests will have access to a private beach and jetty.

We are pleased that Distant Relatives has already become a central meeting point for all the backpackers visiting Kenya's coast, as well as for those with an interest in alternative and more sustainable living practices.

?Kenya's finest gem!? by

From Tripadvisor: "I absolutely love Distant Relatives and am so lucky I have got to visit twice, once being this recent New Years (which was amazing). It is such a special place with amazing staff, guests, and locals who create a very relaxed and yet inclusive atmosphere. Kilifi is by far the best place in Kenya and I always wish I could stay there longer. From the food, good music, great parties to the swimming in the creek and visiting Bofa and town, the backpackers is pretty close to perfection. Thank you to everyone at the backpackers for always making it special :)"


?Fantastic Holiday Spot!? by

From Tripadvisor: "Just came back from two weeks of paradise at Distant Relatives. I stayed in one of the Bandas. This place is amazing. Beautiful, clean, great food, fun and helpful staff, great events...and I made some wonderful new friends. I love it and will definitely make it my vacation spot at the Coast! Thanks for a great Christmas vacation!"


?Favorite place on Kenyan coast yet!? by

From Tripadvisor: "This place is absolutely amazing. The staff and other backpackers were very relaxed and fun to talk with. The double room that we got was very comfortable...the best part was the outdoor shower that was surrounded by banana trees and palms. They have composting toilets and a very chill atmosphere all around. A quick 5 minute walk away from Kilifi creek as well (loos more like a river to me though). My only regret is that we only stayed for one night."
