Built by hosts, for the hosts shaping African travel.

Savanna Connect was founded in Nairobi in 2024 after years of juggling five spreadsheets, three OTA inboxes, and four bank accounts to run a handful of apartments. We knew African short-stay hosts deserved better.

Today we power thousands of stays across Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda — giving hosts a single dashboard for properties, channels, guests, housekeeping and payouts. Our team is distributed across the continent with hubs in Nairobi, Cape Town and Lagos.

What we believe

• Hospitality software should speak local currencies and local payment rails first.
• Hosts should own their guest relationship — direct bookings beat 20% commissions.
• AI should remove busywork, not replace the warmth that makes African hosting special.
