What's Holding Your Kenyan Hospitality Business Back?

Manual Updates & Overbookings

Many lodges still rely on outdated systems, wasting time on manual updates and risking double bookings instead of focusing on guests.

Global Software That Doesn’t Fit Locally

Generic software ignores African realities like resident
vs. non-resident pricing, seasonal rates, and regional currencies.

Local Payments

Most booking systems don’t integrate
M-Pesa or local payment methods, creating friction for guests and limiting revenue.

High OTA Dependence

Many properties over-rely on OTAs, losing margins to high commission fees instead of driving direct bookings.

We built Zafari for you

The afro-centric, smarter booking platform for safari hotels, lodges and vacation rentals to elevate their digital booking experience.
