I went to Watamu, Kenya for 3 weeks with Noma and it was incredible! We were 10 people, which I think is the perfect amount of people to make the trip enjoyable but not overwhelming. Ivy the community manager, and everyone who we interacted from the Noma team both in Kenya and online were so kind and helpful. If you're starting your digital nomad journey and don't want to do it by yourself I totally recommend you check the trips that Noma has around the world!

I booked the Kenya edition on a whim just a week before the program and it was the BEST decision I ever possibly could have made. The location, the community and the support from Noma was amazing - it was just the right amount of 'hands on' vs. letting you find your groove and we were offered amazing experiences both in the local community and in bonding with the Noma crew. I have traveled with other travel programs before and this was hands down the best of the experiences I have had.

The Noma March 2024 Kenya edition was an incredible experience. Watamu where the edition was hosted is one of the best locations I have been for remote working, organising amazing local experiences from the numerous beaches, restaurant and bars and weekend trips to the Marafa Hells Kitchen and Malindi where we stayed a on a traditional Dhow overnight. They chose great accommodation which allowed us to be productive during work hours and areas to relax with fellow guests after work. The highlight of the trip was at the end with a once in a lifetime trip to the Maasai Mara National Reserve and 3 day safari, hosted and run by local Maasai guides. This edition was a trip that that will live long in the memory and would highly recommend Noma to anyone.
