Farmstay holiday rentals in East Africa

Our stay was absolutely unforgettable! Each morning, we were greeted by kudu, wildebeest, warthogs, impala, and bushbuck right outside our doorstep—it felt like stepping into a wildlife documentary. At night, the haunting calls of lions in the distance added a sense of wild magic to the experience. The host's guidebook was incredibly helpful and led us to some truly amazing adventures—the highlight being our unforgettable visit to Kruger National Park with Kruger Pride Safaris. This place offers unbeatable value for money and an experience that’s both relaxing and exhilarating. Without a doubt, one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

Our stay was very nice. The house is well set-up and everything was working. We had a waterleak on the farm during our stay and luckily backup provision for water came in very handy. The game viewer made our trip very special.

Great stay at Dombeya went with my family for a weekend break and it did not disappoint. Steph and Matt made is feel welcome and at home , and great responsiveness to all our queries. We particularly enjoyed the bird watching. Highly recommend Dombeya.

Wolly bugger farm is truly beautiful - the sunsets were spectacular. We only stayed for a weekend but wish we had a more time there. The cottage is very clean and cozy with everything you need. The indoor fire place was great and our host Angela was very friendly and responsive on WA. We will be back. Thank you!

An Unforgettable Stay at Elandsvlei! We had an absolutely incredible stay at Elandsvlei! The entire weekend was peaceful and rejuvenating. We explored every waterfall we could find, enjoyed picnics all over the farm, and took long, scenic walks. The offroading opportunities were fantastic and added a real sense of adventure to our trip. One of the true highlights was stargazing in the boma by a cozy fire — an experience we’ll never forget. The sunrises streaming through our windows each morning were simply breathtaking. The house we stayed in was perfect — it had everything we needed and more, making our stay extremely comfortable. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. We were warmly welcomed at the gate and personally escorted to our accommodation. Elandsvlei truly exceeded all our expectations, and we can't wait to return!

Had an amazing stay beautiful house loved the fact that she makes you feel welcomed, definitely loved the sunset views and farm feel really gave it a beautiful vibe.

The accommodation matches the description, very well-equipped. The vanilla and rum factory next door are nice, and in addition, it is very convenient because it is 15 minutes from the airport without entering Saint-Denis. Nelly and Pierre were very kind, I recommend this accommodation for visiting the east of Reunion Island.

Perfect for a catch-up weekend. A great balance between the tranquility of the cottage and so much to enjoy in Dullstroom. (We loved Mrs Simpson’s!) Thank you for sharing this piece of peace and quiet with us.

Susie is an attentive, caring host with a tastefully decorated house. She went out of her way to make us feel right at home and even drew us a map to make sure we don’t get lost. Lucy and Jane made our stay more enjoyable by cooking us the best breakfast and dinner. Susie was always there to help and went above and beyond to make sure we were ok. She even regularly checked in on us. The view from the house is beautiful and the house itself is very cosy. Our only regret is not staying there longer. I will definitely come back. I recommend this home to anyone visiting Naivasha and I would stay there for as long as I could!

With Airbnb since 2014 also a host.This is our best and most memorable stay ! Oscar is a very special host. A night before booking and he reached out to us personally asking what our plans were.This is not expected. He cared and wanted us to have a good experience. Without his suggestions we would never have had the incredible stay that we did. We added meals which were delicious and an experience in themselves, sitting at the dining room table with Oscar was part of what made the whole stay incredibly unique.We learned so much as he shared the history of the local tribe, home and grounds we were staying on. Breakfast was magical, packed as a picnic for our excursion. He connected us with a guide to see animals. Sure recommendations from a host are normal but actually making the calls and arranging for the entire excursion with no extra fee, unheard of! It’s obvious he loves this area the people and home he has chosen to steward and host. For a more real Masai Mara adventure stay here!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Patrick was an outstanding host - thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely committed to ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay. The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described (if not better!). Every detail had been considered, from check-in to check-out, making the experience seamless and stress-free. I truly appreciated the quiet ambiance and personal touches that made the place feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend staying with Patrick- I’d absolutely book again without hesitation!

We had such a lovely time and we can't wait to go back. A truly special place! Theunes is a very thoughtful host and everything is charming and done with great care. Thank you Theunes :)

Beautiful, clean, and cozy place where we crashed after descending from Mt. Kenya - can't recommend it enough. Was the perfect place to put our feet up and has a stunning view of the mountain + lovely and responsive hostess.

What a gem! 40 min from Kaapschehoop for an outing but apart from that you don’t want to go anywhere. Its a peaceful and beautiful haven. Beauty and delight! Pro tip: order a meal from Pippa. It is delicious x10000000. We had a lovely stay. Definitely recommending to my friends and family. Lovely hosts. Spoiled us with veg and eggs. Overall beautiful. Go ahead and book. You will be happy you did!

We enjoyed our stay at Monica’s. The quaint house surrounded by nature was what we needed to decompress! Will definitely be visiting again, I highly recommend staying here if you want a break from city life

Words can't begin to describe how magical our stay was in this charming and cozy cabin that is tucked-away on a peaceful farm. The perfect spot to relax, unwind and reconnect with nature. The kitchen was impressively well-equipped and fully stocked, making it a joy to cook dinner each night. After preparing our meals, we loved dining by the firepit under the starry sky — a truly peaceful and memorable experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of nature and good food!

Our stay at this wonderful Airbnb was to celebrate my brothers 40th birthday, and it was absolutely perfect! The place was clean, cozy, and had plenty of space for all my friends and family to join in the festivities. A special mention to George and Alice, the on-site staff. They were fantastic! They made sure everything was in order, answered all our questions, and helped make his birthday extra special. Highly recommend this spot for group gatherings. Great location (2 hours drive from Jhb), comfortable accommodation, and amazing hospitality. Will definitely book again especially in summer!

Amazing views and the perfect place to disconnect and recharge. Surrounded by nature, yet equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

Beautiful setting and stunning home! Viv was a responsive and generous host and Sergio and Evodia, the caretakers, are wonderful human beings that went the extra mile time and time again. Will be back

I had a fantastic stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free, and communication with the host was excellent throughout. The host was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond by offering great suggestions for local activities. The cleaning staff also did a great job, keeping everything spotless. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

This wasn’t our first time staying here, and once again everything was wonderful. The host is always incredibly welcoming and makes us feel right at home. As always, it was an excellent stay – we truly enjoy coming back!

Family loved the house! Surrounded in nature and saw all sorts of animals. House itself was very spacious and clean. Lot of things to be excited about! Also much affordable option and only 20-30 mins from Krueger park!

I booked Genet House Holiday Home for my family, and they had an amazing stay! They loved the spacious and well-designed house, and the wildlife roaming nearby made it even more special!!! Andy was fantastic hosts, making them feel welcome. The check-in was seamless, and the location was perfect—peaceful yet close to Kruger. They had an unforgettable experience and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

What a beautiful time we had with family The host was super responsive, lovely and friendly. We had everything we needed for the trip . The cleaning ladies were so lovely and helpful. We had the place cleaned everyday and our fire wood topped up . I would recommend this home to anyone thinking of having a peaceful, private, beautiful stay . It’s everything the pictures describe and more
