Halvdags Ukunda Village Tour i Diani Beach
Beskrivelse
Denne tur involverer et dybt ind i landdistrikterne kenyansk liv. Forlader Diani placering UKUNDA landsby. Det første stop er Ukunda marked, hvor du vil være i stand til at se en masse mennesker købe og sælge forskellige ting for at forbedre deres daglige liv. Andet stop i den offentlige grundskole, hvis skolen er åben, er det en god idé at bringe små gaver af bøger, penne eller slik efter skolen. Turen fortsætter til et landsbyfællesskab af enkle husstande. Et besøg i den lokale Mganga (Swahili navnet på en heks læge), men i disse dage de beskæftiger sig med helbredelse og urte behandlinger, ikke casting fortryllelser.

I was very satisfied. A smiling driver picked us up at the hotel and took us directly to the place where the guide met us. I saw a lot and, most importantly, learned about life here as well. I highly recommend it
We had a private tour in Ukunda, and it was absolutely wonderful. Our guide, Samson, was outstanding and very personable. He not only showed us around Ukunda but also gave us a deep insight into local village life, explaining the different tribes living there and their historical backgrounds. Cooking ugali with the village mama was a unique experience, and being included in the welcoming dance was truly unforgettable. Samson, we sincerely thank you for this amazing tour! And thank you so much for all the pictures you took! We also want to thank Nehemia, our driver, who was professional, friendly, and kept us entertained throughout the journey. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience authentic culture.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a beautiful and detailed review 🌍✨ We are truly delighted to hear that you had a wonderful and memorable experience on the Half Day Ukunda Village Tour. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed the authentic cultural interactions, from learning about local tribes and history to cooking ugali with the village mama and joining the welcoming dance — these moments are exactly what we aim to share with our guests. Your kind words about Samson are greatly appreciated. He is indeed very passionate about sharing local culture, and we’re happy he made the experience special for you. We are also grateful for your appreciation of the photos — we’re glad they help keep those memories alive 📸😊 A big thank you as well for recognizing Nehemia, our driver. We’re proud to have such a professional, friendly, and entertaining team ensuring our guests are comfortable and well taken care of throughout their journey. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience in Kenya. Asante sana and warm regards from all of us at Elky Tours
Very important. It's going to be a fundraiser. According to the travel provider, this is of course voluntary, as you do not have to make a donation. At the beginning on the way to the village a boy came and made us bracelets with the names (and wanted a donation) before the food preparation we each got a coconut (for a donation). The first village market with all goods (not only own products, but also commercial!!!) was prepared before us. There was also a basket of donations at the Gririami dance after the dance. We then went to the children's home (here we had also taken gifts), then we had to go to the office of the manager/founder who gave us the donation book (only us in his office). The travel provider then wrote to me afterwards that all donations are voluntary, which is of course true, but the pressure on the ground is very high and emotional. After 4.5 hours we were incl. drive to the hotel again in the hotel (so not 6h)! Too bad, would have liked to just get to know life in the bush, but I didn't expect such a fundraiser. By the way, the children in the village expect sweets, please bring enough. The 2 points were only for our guide Samsong being Mega, he had explained everything to us.
Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns Ihr ausführliches Feedback mitzuteilen. Wir schätzen Ihre Ehrlichkeit sehr, da sie uns hilft, unsere Erlebnisse für zukünftige Gäste zu verbessern. Es tut uns aufrichtig leid, dass die Tour für Sie spendenorientiert und emotional belastend wirkte. Auch wenn Spenden grundsätzlich freiwillig sind, verstehen und erkennen wir vollkommen an, dass Häufigkeit und Art dieser Situationen Unbehagen und ein Gefühl der Verpflichtung erzeugen können. Dies entspricht nicht der Art von Erfahrung, die wir unseren Gästen bieten möchten. Unser Ziel bei Dorfbeschuchen ist es, einen kulturellen Austausch und einen authentischen Einblick in das lokale Leben zu ermöglichen – nicht, Gäste in Situationen zu bringen, in denen sie sich unter Druck gesetzt fühlen. Wir nehmen Ihr Feedback sehr ernst und werden diese Tour gemeinsam mit unseren lokalen Partnern überprüfen, um klarere Grenzen, bessere Vorabkommunikation und ein ausgewogeneres, authentischeres Erlebnis zu gewährleisten, bei dem das Lernen und Erleben im Vordergrund steht – nicht Spenden. Wir entschuldigen uns außerdem dafür, dass die tatsächliche Dauer der Tour nicht den erwarteten 6 Stunden entsprach. Dies hätte transparenter kommuniziert werden müssen, und wir bedauern die dadurch entstandene Enttäuschung sehr. Gleichzeitig freuen wir uns sehr über Ihre positiven Worte zu Ihrem Guide Samsong. Wir werden Ihr Lob gerne an ihn weiterleiten – er wird sehr stolz sein zu hören, dass seine Professionalität und seine Erklärungen einen positiven Eindruck hinterlassen haben. Nochmals möchten wir uns aufrichtig entschuldigen, dass diese Tour nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Ihr Feedback ist für uns äußerst wertvoll, und wir sind entschlossen, sinnvolle Verbesserungen umzusetzen, damit zukünftige Gäste ein respektvolles und bereicherndes Erlebnis genießen können. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Elky Tours
Super trip! I particularly enjoyed the preparation of the Kenyan food and the visit to the "Born again Children's Home", which really deserves our support.
Vielen Dank für Ihr tolles Feedback 😊 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihnen der Ausflug so gut gefallen hat, insbesondere die Zubereitung des kenianischen Essens und der Besuch im Born Again Children’s Home. Ihre Wertschätzung und Unterstützung bedeuten uns und der lokalen Gemeinschaft sehr viel. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu einer weiteren schönen Erfahrung mit Elky Tours begrüßen zu dürfen. Vielen Dank für Ihr Vertrauen
The owner of the company made some very special arrangements for me to join the tour from Mombasa, which was greatly appreciated! However, I have to be very honest and transparent about this tour in particular. I had such high hopes; as my tour guide was a very nice guy but halfway through the trip he didn’t really “guide” much. There were 2 other tour guides there and my tour guide just “piggybacked” off the other tour guide really. When I arrived, a man immediately asked me for my name and all my family members names. Please be careful as he decided to make bracelets with their names on it and then tried to sell 5 of them to me for 500 KSH each! Please do not expect a feast at lunchtime, bring snacks or eat prior to arrival! A very nice woman prepared and showed us how to cook lunch from scratch, and it was an amazing experience! Myself and 2 other guests literally ate about 2-3 bites before the other 2 tour guides (but not my tour guide) devoured the MOST of the meal! That was very disappointing and rude because they took away from us as guests as we paid for this experience and the guides can enjoy the local cuisine at any time. Also please bring your own water! The only beverage I was only offered during the whole 6-7 hours was local alcohol and I do not drink alcohol because I am a Muslim. Also, every stop I went to was a constant money pit! They looked to me as if I was a walking bank instead of treating me like an actual guest. I am all about supporting the local people, but I don’t like to be looked at like an ATM! Make sure you bring Kenyan shillings but please be careful as everywhere you go you are paying for something that is not included in the booking price! The biggest disappointment was I brought donations for the children’s school/home, I carried an entire suitcase that my associates at work and I collected for months to help the local children. Keep in mind I carried the supplies from USA, through Saudi Arabia, through Ethiopia to Kenya. When it was time to visit the children’s school, I took a tour of the school. I didn’t see not ONE child present! They took my entire bag of donations / supplies… just sat it on a bench, no one even said thank you! I was taken on a short tour, then to be sat down by the pastor to tell me stories of what the organization needs and who has donated the most money to him and his organization in the past. Then he and some man over the phone asked for me to take my credit card to go the nearest ATM to get money! I asked my driver to please take me back to my apartment in Mombasa. I am very sad I did not get to meet any of the children as they promised, I did not see where they went to school and oddly, I didn’t get to see one child’s face in that entire facility! I am so heartbroken about how the rest of the day played out. If I had have known I would be asked for more money at the children’s school /home, I would have given the supplies to the children in the Ukunda village instead and never gone to visit the school/home at all. I would REALLY think twice about booking with this company as my experience was completely different from the other reviews posted and very disappointing! Unfortunately, I cannot book with them again.
Dear Khadijah Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback and for joining our tour from Mombasa. We sincerely appreciate the effort and kindness you showed in bringing donations all the way from abroad for the children — your generosity means a great deal to us and to the local community. We are truly sorry to hear that certain aspects of your experience did not fully meet your expectations. At Elky Diani Beach Holidays, we always strive to provide honest, authentic, and respectful cultural experiences, and we regret if you felt uncomfortable at any point during your visit. Please allow us to clarify a few points: Local bracelets: The local artisans you met are independent individuals who sometimes approach guests to sell handmade items. These purchases are completely optional, and guests are never required or pressured to buy anything. Cooking experience: The program includes a short local cooking demonstration rather than a full lunch. Food and drinks (including bottled water) are listed as excluded in the tour description. However, local wine, coconut juice, and a brief traditional demo are offered as part of the cultural experience — participation is optional. Guests are always welcome to bring their own snacks or beverages. Orphanage visit: The home you visited provides shelter and support for children attending various schools. Some are in boarding school, while others visit for meals before returning to class — which may explain why not all children were present during your visit. The management and caregivers are deeply grateful for your generous donations and truly value your support. We sincerely apologize if this was not clearly communicated at the time. Their top priority remains the education and well-being of the children. To express appreciation, the orphanage management has organized a small photo and video session this Saturday to document your donation being shared with the children. Tour guiding: We have noted your feedback about the guide’s communication and engagement. This will be reviewed internally to ensure all our guides provide more informative and personalized experiences in the future. We greatly appreciate your honest feedback — it helps us maintain transparency and continually improve. Despite the challenges, we hope you enjoyed your time in Kenya and that the kindness you shared continues to make a positive difference for the children you supported. Warm regards, Elky Diani Beach Holidays & Tours Management
We had a great morning. The guide was very friendly and speaks very good French. I highly recommend this experience which transported us into the daily life of local life.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌞 We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your morning with us and that our guide made your experience even more special. It means a lot to know you appreciated discovering the daily life of the locals. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon for another great adventure in Kenya! Warm regards, Elky
Very good tour. It was nice to see some local people with a guide that lives here nearby himself. Everyone was very welcoming towards us. Prepare to have enough candy with you for the beautiful smiles of the children in the town and the schools.
Thank you for your recommendation. We hope to have you again
Excellent views the views were breathtaking . I still cant take my eyes off the splendour and garndeur of the balcony view
We are grateful for that positive remark and appreciated for meeting your needs hopeful to travel with you in future, we say thank you.
