Our Story: Born from Passion

AfriStay was founded in 2020 with a simple yet powerful vision: to make authentic Rwandan experiences accessible to travelers from around the world while supporting local communities.

What started as a small collection of verified homes in Kigali has grown into Rwanda's most trusted platform for property rentals and vehicle services. We've helped thousands of travelers discover the Land of a Thousand Hills in the most genuine way possible.

Today, we're proud to partner with local hosts, property owners, and service providers who share our commitment to excellence, authenticity, and sustainable tourism that benefits everyone.
