Pop-up Colivings across Africa

Live and work from different corners of the continent, one destination at a time

Each destination runs for a limited time.
You join for a few weeks or longer, depending on your plans.

We set up the homes, the workspaces, and the local connections before you arrive.
Everything is built from experience, shaped by years in hospitality and a deep understanding of the places we choose.

You don’t need to figure things out.
You just step into it.

A different way to experience Africa


Africa isn't something to tick off a list. It's something to live.

Built by people who have lived and worked across the continent, AfricaNomads is for remote workers who want to stay longer, connect more deeply, and experience Africa beyond the usual tourist trail.

Work. Connect. Explore. Belong.

This is Africa, with us



You'll probably love AfricaNomads if...


✅ You're curious about the world and want to experience Africa more deeply.

You value genuine connection as much as comfort.

✅ You believe travel is about belonging, not just ticking places off a list.



Probably not for you if...


❌ You want every day planned for you.

❌ You'd rather stay within familiar expat communities.

❌ You prefer staying inside your comfort zone.



Life in Africa

Experience the AfricaNomads way. Our curated coliving spaces are your gateway to discovering Africa beyond the typical tourist trail. From vibrant cities and idyllic islands to remote coastlines and breathtaking landscapes, every destination invites you to experience a different side of the continent.

Life here moves at a different pace. Everyone follows their own schedule, balancing work with exploration, community, and downtime. Between meetings and deadlines, there's always time to discover local markets, spend an afternoon by the ocean, share a meal with new friends, or simply slow down and enjoy everyday life in Africa.

Unlike traditional travel, we encourage you to stay long enough to become part of each destination. We recommend spending at least one or two months with us, giving yourself the time to build meaningful connections, discover local communities, support independent businesses, and experience Africa beyond a short visit.

Whether you're working remotely, launching your next project, or simply looking for a different way to travel, AfricaNomads offers a seamless experience so you can focus on what matters most: living well, connecting deeply, and discovering the incredible diversity of East Africa.

How is our daily schedule? 

These are our breakfast at the AfricaNomads retreats

Experience the daily rhythm of life with AfricaNomads, the days begin with a taste of Swahili hospitality. Wake up to a freshly prepared breakfast infused with local flavors. Grab your laptop and choose your workspace – whether it's the comfort of the house or the laid-back ambiance of a beachfront café, where sandy feet and ocean breezes inspire productivity. 

Weekly we gather for our renowned Communal Dinner, where you'll savor the diverse flavors of the various African cuisines.  Spontaneous hangouts are common daily, there's always someone ready to meet and also someone ready to cowork together with. We are also sunset chasers and love to meet over a drink as we see the day go by!

When the weekend arrives, leave the planning to us! Saturdays and Sundays are dedicated to immersive programs designed to showcase the best of the local community and to discover the areas. From visiting empowerment projects to participating in conservation programs. We also love sailing and discover the surroundings, so get ready for some snorkelling and days under the sun! 

What it feels like

It's the dinners that turn into conversations you didn't expect.

It's saying yes to things you normally wouldn't.

It's exploring places you would never have found alone.

A slow morning in Lamu.

A rooftop evening in Zanzibar.

Feeling the vast emptiness in the Danakil Desert in Ethiopia.

A conversation that changes your perspective.


The kind of travel that stays with you long after you leave.

Why AfricaNomads?                                 More than just a place to stay

Most people join us for Africa. They stay for the people.

AfricaNomads is built around genuine connection. Shared dinners. Local friendships. Experiences that aren't manufactured, but happen naturally when curious people spend time together.

You'll leave with more than photos. You'll leave with stories, friendships, and a completely different perspective of Africa.
