About Takaungu |
The village of Takaungu is a warm and
welcoming traditional community located on
the coast. Its red dirt roads lined with
palm trees, white sandy beaches, and idyllic
society make it the ideal place to get a
taste of the African experience.
The village is a short journey from Mombasa,
a bustling port city alive with Swahili,
Kenyan and Indian culture. Takaungu has all
of the charm of a rural village, while still
being within reach of many of the exciting
aspects of Kenya’s incredible environmental
and cultural tourist destinations.
Although some aspects of modern life are
lacking in Takaungu (internet cafes, banks
and modern grocery stores), all necessities
are just a short journey away, located in
nearby Kilifi town. There are land line and
mobile phone services available in the
village, as well as the popular boda-boda
(bicycle taxi) transport. Volunteers in
Takaungu never complain about the small
inconveniences, as they are usually too busy
making friends with the local residents,
marveling at the beaches, or attending
social events to even notice the lack of
western luxuries.
Volunteers and interns working in Takaungu
will be placed in a home stay with a
friendly host family. Volunteers and interns
will have their own room in the house.
By staying with host families, volunteers
and interns will have a chance to immerse
themselves in the local culture, enjoy local
cuisine and African traditions |
