Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in East Africa

We booked Elina's place for four days while we visited Gombe National Park. We loved the spacious house, enjoyed the screened in outdoor space and felt safe and secure in the walled compound. Elina was friendly and helpful and even drove us to the airport when it was time to leave. Kigoma is a beautiful town and we look forward to visiting again!!

I had a great stay at this place with my family and the host was very proactive when it comes to communication and very friendly people. Thank you, I will come back again. Great service.

Mauro‘s stay is a wonderful oasis in the midst of Shela. We thoroughly enjoyed the location the picturesque views from the top balcony and the cosy kitchenette on the main floor. The bedrooms were comfortable, clean and spacious en-suite’s. Miss Dama the housekeeper is an excellent cook, we really enjoyed her peppered fried fish and mango avocado salad, very recommendable. Mauro was an excellent host, extremely quick to respond, offering hints, tips and advice for Lamu. I would definitely recommend Mauro‘s stay in Shela!

We had a very nice stay at Verona Self Catering. Hazel and her family were very friendly hosts which made our stay very comfortably. They also arranged a rental car for a good price and gave advise where to go for eating and shopping in the neighbourhood. We felt very welcome and save. We would definately recommend Verona Self Catering.

it's a cool place to be

Amazing house just a few steps from the gorgeous beach! We loved the garden and pool too. The staff were amazing as well. We had such a lovely time!

Me and my two best friends can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely seamless. The check-in process was easy and contactless, and the space was exactly as described—actually, better! Spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and incredibly cozy, it felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook, and the host even left a welcome bottle of two wines; which was such a thoughtful touch. The bed was super comfortable, and we slept like babies each night. One of the highlights was the peaceful outdoor area—perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Plus, the location was ideal: close to great restaurants, shops, and local attractions, but tucked away enough to enjoy some quiet and privacy. Our host was outstanding—friendly, responsive, and full of great recommendations. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests having an awesome experience.

We had a wonderful stay. Perfect location, wonderful surroundings and beautiful braai area. Will definitely be visiting again.

We really can't say enough about Diana's place. We stayed in two of her units during our stay in Lusaka. The place was beautifully furnished, clean and quiet. The beds were comfy. The living room was bright and sunny. When we messaged Diana she responded within minutes and always had an answer for us. She has a lovely young lady, Memory, who comes in to clean the apartment. We really enjoyed our time in Lusaka and will definitely be looking up Diana's place again when we return.

We love Eden Island and have stayed at or two properties. What we liked about David’s place was that it gives you a bit more space than the 2 bed, with its lovely wrap around balcony. Thank you!

Beautiful place. Great location and safe. There’s a mall right around the corner. Hazel is super friendly and responds on time to any request. Would definitely recommend it. Super clean also.

We had a perfect, cozy getaway at the Crystal Apartment in Seychelles. The apartment was well-equipped, especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed to cook our meals. We loved enjoying dinner and watching the sunset at evening from the lovely balcony. With the car rental, the location was ideal for us, it was peaceful, private, and away from the crowds. The road up to the apartment is quite steep, but we didn’t mind at all, it actually turned into a fun bit of light exercise! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was excellent. There were friendly people ready to welcome us and make us feel at home right away. Steven, Lucille, and the Crystal Apartment team were consistently responsive and reliable throughout our stay.

Nathalie est une hôte accueillante et soucieuse de la satisfaction des voyageurs. Elle accorde une importance particulière aux détails, c’est pour cette raison que le logement est impeccable. L’emplacement est juste parfait, à quelques minutes à pieds de la plage et du supermarché. La piscine est un plus qui n’est pas négligeable. Je précise que la résidence est placée sous vidéosurveillance, ce qui est un très bon point pour garantir la sécurité. Toutefois, il faut être informé que Nathalie visionne et utilise les images a d’autre fin que pour assurer la sécurité.

It was a very nice place cool and private and Alice was very responsive and friendly

Beautiful place

The host (Damaris) and staff are super friendly and easy to work with. The apartment was clean and spacious. I was able to easily walk to the Yaya center, Lavington Mall and Jefferys sports center whenever I felt like it. The neighborhood is surrounded by an endless network of paved sidewalks. I really enjoyed hours of walking. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Judy made the difference. She is an amazing and proactive host. I found her place convenient in terms of getting around because of proximity to Thika Road, the malls and restaurants. Loved the local feel. A really great deal for the price.

Beautiful experience as always 🙏🙏🙏

My stay at Maureen’s Marvel house was awesome. The place is as shown in the photos. The place is clean, with clean furniture, kitchen well equipped. Having two beds was especially helpful for what I needed, worked perfectly. Maureen is a super host! She was quick to respond to inquiries regarding her house like when water was not heating in one bathroom a maintenance person was there in an hour. She gave me information on different issues as I requested including transportation, as a Kenyan but not lived in that locality before this was super helpful. Having spent almost a month in the house she allowed for later check out since my flight was in the evening. I couldn’t have asked for a better host. The only disclaimer on location is transportation as Ubers sometimes would refuse to go. The location itself is quite accessible but since the overall area is known to have some challenges accessing they would hesitate. Describing how near the road the house is helped. Thanks Maureen.

Home away from home, what you see is what you get .the only thing I had issues with was the stairs I had luggage and it was on the last floor but the helper assisted me I was very happy with everything definitely coming back here🤗.

L’appartement de Jackline est conforme à la description et aux photos, il est fonctionnel et très bien placé. La salle de sport, la piscine ainsi que la boulangerie sont de vrais avantages. Nous recommandons et si nous sommes de nouveau de passage à Nairobi, nous reviendrons! Merci.

Nous nous sommes retrouvé dans ce logement car nous avons eu une très mauvaise expérience avec un logement situé sur Trou d’eau douce et nous n’avons pas du tout été déçu d’avoir choisi ce logement en résidence avec piscine. Très calme, appartement de haut standing, tout était impeccable à notre arrivée le linge de bain sentait extrêmement bon. Karine la femme de ménage est adorable. Et Deborah qui est chargée de la gestion est vraiment au top, souriante, agréable et professionnelle. Elle nous a permis de venir plus tôt car il n’y avait personne dans le logement avant. Merci beaucoup de nous avoir permis de passer de belles fin de vacances.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Le logement est parfait, idéalement situé, il n’y a aucun bémol. Sabrina est extrêmement sympathique et les échanges avec elle ont été très agréables. Je recommande sans hésitation, nous espérons revenir. 🤞🏼

Victor nous a été d’une grande aide avant notre arrivée à son logement. Il s’est assuré que nous ne manquions de rien! Merveilleux séjour, vue magnifique!
