Baobabstay is the accommodation booking platform for Africa developed by ShineNows. It is currently under development and available as a demo version.
Staying in Africa, with confidence
Find verified accommodation anywhere on the continent, for a weekend or for several months: a villa in Douala, a flat in Abidjan, a studio in Dakar, Accra, Lagos or Lomé. Multi-country and multi-currency, the platform serves travellers as well as the diaspora going back home.
Mobile Money first
Pay with the means you use every day. Mobile payment is at the heart of Baobabstay, alongside classic payment methods.
Protected booking
Guaranteed availability, native overbooking protection and verified hosts: every booking is protected end to end.
Do you own a property?
Owners will be able to publish their listing for free and welcome travellers from all over Africa and the diaspora. The public launch will be announced on this page.
