Hi everyone, I’m Lakisha, a digital nomad originally from Germany & Ghana, now based in Barcelona. I work in SEO and event management, and I’m building goldenweeks, a project that designs structured retreats for tech nomads and entrepreneurs.
The idea is to bring people together not just to “work from somewhere sunny” but to actually finish projects, build routines, and connect with others on the same path.
Did you know Kenya is one of the fastest growing hubs for digital nomads in Africa?
From Nairobi’s co-working boom to the beaches of Diani, the scene is growing fast. I’m curious if anyone here has joined or hosted a nomad program in Africa before. What worked, what didn’t?
I’d love to connect with others who have experience creating or joining nomad programs in Africa — especially around Kenya — and hear what you’ve learned along the way.
Hi Lakisha,
Very interesting, i have seen around Nairobi and Diani, Kilifi, a growing nomadic community, in the past few years.
One travel company doing very well here charlies-travels.com/en/
personally I've not experienced it, but they would be a great lead.
cheers

Thank you for your tip, Flor! If you happen to have any other recommendations—maybe coworking spaces, events, or local communities—I would really appreciate it! And if you have contacts at companies like Charlie's Travels, feel free to connect me.
Thanks for all the responses so far! I actually started this thread out of curiosity and to help connect more people interested in nomad programs in Africa. If anyone has more tips, stories, or even organizations and regional communities to share, please add them here! What do you think are the next hotspots, or what challenges have you faced? Even if you haven't joined a program yet but are just curious, I'd love to hear your thoughts—or what's holding you back?
