Preparing for the arrival
Volunteering in Kenya through our organization will be an exhilarating, horizon-widening time. You will find new friends and take on new challenges, experiencing a different way of life while you do so. To make the most of this opportunity, it is a good idea to make sure that you are as prepared as possible, both physically and mentally.
Transportation
Local means of Transport -Matatus are the most common form of public transport in Kenya. They are often “pimped out” with neon lights, TV screens, and speakers, and they are a cheap and entertaining way to travel. After you have been in Kenya for a couple of days and you are starting to feel more confident, you’ll find you want to explore the local area or get to the supermarket or an ATM. You may also need to take public transport to reach your placement project. If this is the case, one of the Kenyan team will accompany you for your first couple of days, until you are happy making the trip without them.
TUKTUK is also one of the common means of transport in Mombasa.
You can also opt to use the Ubber or Bolt App (ordering tax through the app online). Ubber and Bolt are so common in Mombasa and the safest especially when you are new and you don't know the exact prices and places to visit, I recommend you use Ubber App. Even from the airport in case you feel like passing by somewhere before being picked up by us, use the ubber or Bolt app. The moment you use normal tax and you don't know how to bargain, they may charge you double or triple the normal prices.
NB: When you are using public means of transport, whether it's volunteers or even us the locals, be aware that due to the cramped conditions and many passengers, there is always a risk of pickpocketing. Avoid taking valuables or large sums of cash on a means of public transport. For longer journeys, we recommend organizing travel with our office, who can arrange for you to be driven to your destination by one personal car/Van. Even at the malls or restaurants, you will see some ladies and gentlemen pretending they are tour guides and maybe conmen or kidnappers, Kindly let us know and if possible let our organization know your plans, even the safaris we do prepare for our volunteers. But be kind to them Pretend you have taken their contacts you will contact them but don't share your contact. Always where our volunteer name tag as your identification in case of anything.
Kindly Note that Commuting to the project site is on a personal account for all volunteers above 18yrs and our local staff from the volunteer house/Homestay by a public transport system which is very easily affordable and Uber can also be cost-shared when traveling with more than 3 volunteers, apart from Minors of below 18 yrs who must be accompanied by one of our staff in charge at UCESCO or other adult volunteers staying together.
