Distant Relatives began as a dream to create a space where travelers could experience the authentic beauty of Kenya’s coast while contributing positively to the local community and environment. Founded in 2015 on the banks of Kilifi Creek, we started as a small backpacker lodge with a big vision.
Today, we’ve evolved into a boutique eco-lodge that seamlessly blends comfort with sustainability. Our journey has been guided by the principle that tourism should regenerate rather than deplete—creating experiences that enrich both visitors and the communities that welcome them.
From our humble beginnings, we’ve grown to become a recognized leader in sustainable tourism, offering everything from comfortable accommodation to transformative educational courses, all while maintaining our commitment to environmental stewardship and community empowerment.
To create transformative travel experiences that connect people with nature, culture, and each other while regenerating the environment and empowering local communities.
Sustainability, community, authenticity, and respect for the natural world guide every decision we make and every experience we create.
A world where tourism is a force for positive change, creating lasting benefits for people and planet while preserving the beauty that draws us to explore.
