Review of Distant Relatives Eco-lodge & Backpackers

I stayed here during December 2012. I've traveled throughout East Africa, and this was by far my favorite backpackers. Great service and a tremendous amount of fun on a beautiful plot of land. Kilifi is a diamond in rough along the coast of Kenya and Distant Relatives is simply the best. They come with my highest recommendation.

I was told about Distant Relatives from other travelers I met while on safari in Kenya and made it a point to stay a few nights. I could have stayed forever! The grounds are beautifully maintained, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the food superb with overly generous proportions. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool or strolling down the path to the secluded beach, the feeling is one of pure joy. Everyone there provides a sense of family and has become a distant relative to me. I look forward to returning some day.
