About Distant Relatives Ecolodge

Distant Relatives Ecolodge is one of Kenya’s most celebrated eco-retreats, perched dramatically above Kilifi Creek with 270-degree views across the water and the surrounding mangrove forest. The property is built from reclaimed timber and natural materials, with accommodation in treehouse rooms, campsites, and chalets.

The lodge is famous for its community ethos, organic garden-to-table restaurant, daily yoga classes, and social atmosphere that draws together digital nomads, backpackers, and thoughtful travellers from around the world. Events, jam sessions, and community cooking nights are a regular feature.

A saloon or SUV handles this 65-minute transfer from MBA north to Kilifi. The route follows the A7 highway past Mtwapa and crosses the Kilifi Bridge with views over the creek.
