PROJECT DESTINATION
Mombasa, Kenya’s vibrant coastal city, offers a unique and enriching destination for our Sports Coaching Volunteer Program. Known for its rich cultural heritage, Mombasa is a melting pot of African, Arabic, Asian, and European influences, evident in its architecture, cuisine, and festivals. Volunteers can explore historical sites like Fort Jesus and the charming Old Town, relax on pristine beaches, and enjoy water sports along the Indian Ocean. The warm and welcoming local community, combined with modern amenities and a tropical climate, ensures a comfortable and engaging stay. Additionally, the city serves as a gateway to wildlife safaris and marine parks, providing endless opportunities for adventure.
Volunteers typically stay in comfortable shared rooms at our volunteer house. These accommodations are often located within close proximity to the project site, facilitating easy access to the school and community.
Three meals a day will be provided, featuring a mix of local Kenyan Cuisine and familiar international dishes. Special dietary needs will be catered for.
Kenya has a few different cellular network providers, for which sim cards can be purchased from most shops or at the airport. Various package options allow for phone calls and/or data usage. At the volunteer House, there is free WiFi to enable you to make contact back home.
Mombasa has a tropical climate characterized by hot and humid conditions throughout the year. The city experiences two distinct seasons: a dry season from December to March and a wet season from April to November. Temperatures typically range from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F), with occasional spikes during the hotter months. Volunteers should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, as well as sun protection, to stay comfortable in the warm weather.
