  Description

  Jambo Jambo Workawayers!
  Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya; East Africa’s prime safari destination and the gateway into discovering the magic of Africa!

  We truly cherish Workawayers who have friendly, honest, helpful and reliable personalities, who can cook a traditional dish from their home culture, and deeply value open-minded, genuine cultural exchange.

  Help

  We are seeking collaborative exchange activities involving several areas:
  We can practice languages together, share traditions, stories and local insights, and even cook meals while swapping cultural experiences.
  Collaborative cleaning or tidying, helping with meal preparation or occasionally running errands. We can teach each other skills like art, tech or hobbies and discuss global perspectives or travel stories.
  Ngao recently completed his undergraduate studies in Diplomacy and International Studies and has a lot of interest in Global History, Geopolitics, Global Governance, Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs.
  We are also looking for Workawayers who are passionate about local sports, especially Soccer, volleyball and Taekwondo. Whether you're a coach, a motivator or simply enthusiastic about playing; your energy can help us engage with local children and adults in a truly unique way. This is at the core of our cultural exchange program, offering a genuine connection with the Kenyan people, hence discovering the soul of our beautiful country.
  We now welcome solo travelers, couples, families and groups of up to 10 people. We can also arrange meaningful visits to local villages and schools, offering a unique angle to experience MAGICAL KENYA beyond the usual touristic path. We are looking for genuine and respectful Workawayers who want to connect deeply with our Kenyan community.
