Afristay is an online accommodation booking platform that provides a wide range of accommodations in various African countries. The company offers a platform that connects travelers with local hosts to offer unique, affordable, and authentic travel experiences. Afristay provides a diverse selection of accommodation options, from traditional lodges and guesthouses to apartments and villas. The platform also offers a secure and easy-to-use booking system, 24/7 support, and payment options for a convenient and stress-free travel experience. Afristay was founded in 2006 and quickly grew to become one of South Africa's largest accommodation portals with over 10,000 listings across Africa and 100,000 visitors per month, by 2011. The platform was re-launched in 2014 with Rupert Bryant as the new CEO. At the same time as re-launch, Afristay also moved away from its previous inquiry-only roots and began offering bookings directly via the website.
