Sunset boat river tour with Omari is the best! The sunset boat river with Omari was really nice! He knows a lot of things about Kongo river and you can see the river is his life! He also planted mangroves by himself to help the environment and lives in a village next to the river. The trip is very relaxing and best place to see the sunset!

Sunset dhow is a must and worthwhile Did the sunset dhow cruise with a few friends and LOVED the experience! I plan to take visitors when we visit Mombasa in the future. Feels very special to have the entire dhow to ourselves, the snacks were the perfect addition, and the music/string lights added to the atmosphere. Be sure to ask the guide to take an aerial picture for you - nice memory. Only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is that our dhow time was cut in half because of a late arrival of the dhow itself, but the situation was rectified by Travel4Purpose afterwards, and the 1.5 hours we did get on the dhow was worth it.

Great food tour Went on a food tour with Camilli. She was lovely, showed us places I would never find on my own. Had good fun with her exploring old town and liked learning about Mombasa.

Incredible overall travel company, highly recommend! I recently visited Kenya with my husband for our honeymoon and engaged T4P to arrange the itinerary. We were blown away with the level of detail and thought put behind it! Each activity/experience was tailored to our likes and desires and everything had meaning and purpose to it. We wanted a calm and restful getaway after a busy period planning the wedding, whilst having time to emerge ourselves in the culture and experience the adrenaline rush of safari. Our itinerary catered for exactly this and we were treated with a few surprises along the way. Some of what we saw would not have been accessible from a quick Google search, so really did have adventures “off the beaten path”. T4P we’re incredible with keeping in touch with us on the honeymoon too and answering our questions promptly. The drivers and guides we came in contact were all professional and joyful and we felt very safe in their hands. Highly recommend T4P for all your purposeful travel needs!

Eye opening and friendly art tour in Kiberia We did the Kibera art tour via T4P and it was amazing! Shammi was quick to respond and get the tour set up and was always on hand to answer any questions. The tour itself was great and felt like an authentic way to see this part of Nairobi. Saviour our tour guide was lovely and showed us around the murals, studios and Kibera. It was a really great way to spend couple hours.

Explore and eat across Mombasa Our family did the Food tour with Qamili and it was excellent. For over 2 hours we walked around the city trying different foods from vendors she knew. She explained elements about the city and focused on specific Mombasa cuisine which often doesn’t get showcased as it should. She is also like a local celebrity with a few people stopping us to say hi and how much the enjoy her posts exposing Mombasa and culture. A great afternoon enjoyed by our entire family and memorable experience. Highly recommended

10 Stars All Around!! My boyfriend and I wanted to do a graduation trip to Kenya, but didn’t know where to begin. We knew we wanted to travel responsibly, environmentally conscious, and safely as we stumbled upon Travel 4 Purpose on Google it was a perfect match! Sham met with us one on one to go over our ideal trip, budget and all details necessary to form an itinerary. All the activities planned out with T4P were amazing! The village cooking class, safari accommodations, private dhow trip, and giraffe experience were some of the greatest memories. All was affordable to our budget and we are leaving Kenya in more awe than we imagined. We leave happy, safe and content that our money went directly to communities and not greedy corporations. Wish there were more T4P travel agencies around the world!

MUST VISIT - Mombasa town and street food tours Sham arranged the most amazing Mombasa town and street food tour with Tyson for me. I honestly had THE BEST day. We explored by TukTuk and by foot, we had lots of local food and drink, I learned all about the history of Mombasa and collected some souvenirs along the way. Tyson is amazing, such a warm and friendly guy who will do anything for you. I am a young female travelling alone, and Tyson made me feel safe and at ease the whole day. I also went on the giraffe walk, this was incredible. The giraffes roam freely in the conservation park, they’re incredible to see. Konde, my tour guide was so passionate and knowledgable and told me all about the other projects the sanctuary take part in too. Nguuni run a clinic for locals, especially pregnant women and their babies where they can get vaccinated and educated about their health. I have learned SO much from both of these days and I’m so grateful to Sham for organising. I’d definitely recommend both days to anyone interested in learning more about Mombasa!

Two Thumbs Up Great afternoon experience at the giraffe sanctuary. Sham and her team are super organizers and their efforts can’t be matched. Sanctuary is such a peaceful and beautiful place. I advise you avail of the travel4purpose driver too, to get there, Tyson is super.

Fabuleux! Foncez, vous ne serez pas déçus Nous sommes allés à la Nguuni Sanctuary Reserve et c’était fabuleux! Nous quittons Mombasa les yeux émerveillés et avec des souvenirs plein la tête. Un grand merci à Shammie, Omar, Tyson, d’avoir rendu tout ça possible. Nous n’avions que très peu de temps et tout le monde s’est organisé pour répondre à toutes nos demandes. Nous avons tout aimé, de la prise de contact jusqu’à la visite. Nous avons hâte de revenir pour faire d’autres visites. Un grand merci pour tout. N’hésitez pas à passer par Travel4Purpose, je vous recommande bien évidement cet cette agence. Maman voyageuse avec un enfant, j’y ai trouvé disponibilité, adaptabilité et sécurité. J’ai été très sensible à la visite personnalisée pour mon fils. C’était formidable.
