Coworking Safari is a platform connecting remote workers and digital nomads with coliving spaces, coworking retreats, and safari-friendly stays across Africa. Based in Cape Town, it operates in South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, and Morocco, combining productive remote work with authentic African travel experiences. Small-group safari trips, monthly coliving memberships, and team retreats are core offerings.
What if your office backdrop was a savanna at dusk, your commute a game drive, and your coworkers fellow nomads from around the world? That is the premise behind Coworking Safari — a platform that brings together remote work infrastructure and the raw adventure of the African continent.
Coworking Safari operates across several African destinations, with Cape Town as its primary hub. From there, it has expanded into Namibia, Kenya, and Morocco, building out a network of:
The platform is transparent about connectivity, offering what it calls "realistic WiFi expectations" — a refreshing honesty for anyone who has suffered through spotty internet in remote areas.
Africa is still vastly underrepresented in the digital nomad ecosystem, with most platforms defaulting to Southeast Asia, Europe, or Latin America. Coworking Safari carves out a specific niche here. Cape Town in particular has become a serious destination for remote workers — good infrastructure, a vibrant startup scene, mild climate, and easy access to world-class nature.
The inclusion of Namibia and Kenya speaks to a more adventurous audience: nomads who want the safari experience to be real, not just a marketing metaphor. Morocco adds a North African dimension, popular with European remote workers given its proximity and affordability.
Groups are kept deliberately small — capped at 9 on safari trips — which fosters genuine community rather than the anonymous crowd experience of larger retreats. The format blends structured coworking hours with guided travel, making it suitable for people who cannot fully switch off work but still want to experience something beyond the usual co-working cafe circuit.
It also targets remote teams, offering company retreats for small groups that want to align in person without giving up on the scenery.
