Our Mission
Take a group out, show them how a place actually is, and leave enough quiet in the days to unwind. The trip is hosted. The pace stays gentle. Nobody has to organise the rest.
Show the worldas it is,then stay and rest.
Offduty Explorers was cofounded by Kibandi Esther. The company takes people out in groups, through Kenya and beyond, on trips built to unwind.
Plan a group tripWho We Are
Offduty Explorers takes people out in groups to see a place properly, and to unwind in it. Kenya and beyond, beginning with Lamu and Arusha.
Shared days, with room in them
The company was cofounded by Kibandi Esther so that seeing a place, and resting in it, could be the same trip. The days are hosted and shared. Nobody has to organise the quiet.
Esther is a content creator, and she comes to the road with a background in international relations. The work is to show how a place actually is, and to take care with the people who host the group when it arrives.
Two places are on the books. Lamu, at home on the Kenyan coast. Arusha, the first step beyond. A new route opens when it has been walked with a group, not before.

Mission and vision
What the trips are for, and how the list of places grows.
Our Vision
Keep the map honest. A place is added after it has been walked with a group. Lamu and Arusha are the start. From there the road goes on, through Kenya and beyond.

Places already walked
Lamu in Kenya, Arusha beyond, and a place still waiting to be walked.
Lamu – the slow coast
Lamu Old Town still moves by foot and by boat. The group followed that pace, and rested in it.
Walk the old town. Alleys, doors, and the life of the street. The distances are short.
Take the water when the tide is right. A dhow, or a quiet hour toward Shela.
Shela’s beach sits on the same stretch of coast, wide enough for a group that came to rest.
An evening on the waterfront, with nothing owed, and the group staying together.
