Do you want to join a network of hostels in Kenya and be part of the Hostelling International ?
Kenya Youth Hostels Association has been trying to set up a chain of youth hostels and camping sites in kenya. The existing youth hostels are too far apart for easy travelling by one’s own efforts. We reckon a day’s hike to be 10 to 20 miles and a day’s cycle ride to be 40 to 80 miles. A chain from Mombasa via Nairobi to Lake Turkana would therefore require hostels at, say every small town en route in addition to those already established and exists. There is the need to circuit around all corners of the Republic of Kenya.
We also envisage to a greater adventure a cross borders of Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi , Congo and south Sudan are on the move already.
What is Required
To start a youth hostel or a campsite, you need a simple overnight accommodation with a constant water supply, such as a a small building near a farmstead. The farmer or wife will be appointed warden, and will be asked to see that the hut is secure against theft and left clean and tidy by the hoteliers when they leave.
Are you interested?
If you would like to be an affiliate hostel/campsite or agent, please send us an email and we will get back to you.
Do you have a suitable hut?
If yes, Kenya Youth Hostel Association would advice you on decoration and furnishing
Do you have a site but no Building?
We are still interested. Some of our members prefer to camp out, and we may be able to put up a building on site. Wayside shop can also help.
Affiliation Fee
Once your request has been considered having met the requirements for affiliation, you will sign an agreement with Kenya Youth Hostels Association, after which you will pay by either cheque/money order/cash or bank transfer, a sum of Kshs 10,000 yearly.
Note
Any one who has no farm but is willing to help in any other way is requested to send his/her suggestions, which shall be gratefully received and acknowledged. Donations in any kind and money – no matter how small are most welcome.
And why not take out a membership card to start with? see the online applicationhere.
