Pet-friendly holiday rentals in East Africa

Nous avons passés 4 jours formidables dans la maison de Maud, avec ma famille et nos 2 chiens (grand et petit gabarit). Maud nous a si bien accueilli 🙏🏿 L’accès à la plage depuis la maison était juste géniale. La maison, les chambres, la cuisine et l'extérieur étaient top ! C’était nos premières vacances en AIR BNB et nous tenons à remercier Maud du fond du cœur de nous avoir permis de vivre cette belle expérience en famille et avec nos toutous.❤️🍀

It was amazing 🤩✨ The garden is really a little paradise, it was hard for us to leave The place to calm down and relaxing ❤️ it's super private, just Forrest and Ocean around you Abdu and Daud ("housekeeping") are also super friendly and always there if you have a question. We really would recommend the place if you want to take some time for you and your loved ones ❤️

This place is definitely worth your time looking at. I thought I’d miss being right at the beach, but honestly, we looked forward to coming ‘home’ to Joseph and David and the calm, quiet, cool of Ruby House. We spent time reading, playing games, reconnecting and resting, as well as swimming and bobbing in the creek - listening and watching birds. It is so peaceful - chatting with fishermen, and just taking in the surroundings. We went for a few day trips- the Gede ruins are well worth an hour of your time, sand dunes north of malindi were great. And we LOVED Garoda Beach - much less seaweed and less busy. I could not speak more highly of the staff - they were present but not, flexible, understanding and really wanted to help make your time enjoyable. The rooms were so comfortable. I think it may be a little hot in the very hot month, but it gets a lovely breeze and there is always the one room to escape into for an afternoon nap if necessary - but we didn’t need to do this. Thanks!

The location of Alexandre‘s place was excellent with our own private beach and reasonable coral just offshore that we could swim to and snorkel over. They provided snorkels. The view across the street between nosy Komba and the mainland was beautiful and always stimulating with small fishing, boats and fisherman passing by.

Stunning location, unique property, and such an accommodating host and team! This standard of hospitality is rare + the proximity to Nairobi makes it so so so worth it. Thank you, Petrina, Omondi, Peter and team. We had a fantastic time!

Heel mooie plek!

Daniel and Tracy’s place is a beautiful old home. Daniel was incredibly helpful and responsive. Although it was quite chilly during winter, Daniel prepared us and gave us great instructions to heat the house. We stayed as a big group of two families and there was more than enough space. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful house and garden. It is quite big it accommodates many people. Responsive staff. My family was happy and so was I. I can highly recommend this place. Thanks Thabo, Lerato and Berita.

Villa Kaya is a stunning place. The house is beautiful and clean and the pool and garden are gorgeous. Florence, the housekeeper was a delight and it was a fantastic getaway for my friends and I. Location is slightly off the main road but once you enter, it’s a paradise that’s not more than 10 minutes from all the fun spots. Serene, clean and with all the needed amenities. There is a guard at night, gardner and housekeeper available. Due to the lush gardens expect one or two tiny harmless guests (moths, centipedes) around the property. Kathryn was super responsive and it was the perfect staycation for my friends and I.

The highest compliment I can pay is that this accommodation was exactly as advertised. The house is beautiful, the views stunning and the pool and beach very inviting. It is down a rocky dirt road to a private and secure gate. Not for everyone, but easy to navigate. Once at the house, if you are looking for a quiet, slow oasis, “away from it all” you could not pick a better spot.

Marula cottage was a wonderful serene place to spend a few days. The staff and their attention to detail was great. We felt really cared for and spoilt. Many thanks to Aleem and Soraiya. We will be back for sure.

Super séjour chez James, la villa est superbe, les services proposés sont au top et l’emplacement est parfait, à 2 minutes à pieds de la plage. Paje est une ville très agréable avec beaucoup de restaurants bars et boîte de nuit, je recommande fortement

A beautiful house and amazing staff. The chef, Mondo, is an excellent cook and the rest of the staff made us feel comfortable and at home. The house is only a few minutes walk from the beach and tuk-tuks are easily accessible. Also, the dogs were family friendly.

My friends and I had an amazing stay at Olsotowa House! The property is incredible with plenty of room for 10 guests, a great pool to relax in, fun activities to do (ping pong, foosball, archery, spa day, movie nights), and a wonderful view of the sunset from Ngong Hills. The hosts were very helpful and responsive, the property staff (Dorris, Julius, etc.) were great, and the chef (Martin) prepared delicious meals and snacks for all dietary preferences. I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to going back!

Wir waren zu fünft und hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in dem Taj Riviera House. Es ist wirklich groß und trotzdem gemütlich mit Flair. Wir wurden liebevoll von Pascal bekocht mit frischem Fisch und lecken Pasta Gerichten. Für mich als Frühaufsteher gab es sogar frisch gelockten Kaffee am frühen Morgen. Der Highlight war ein Abend mit afrikanische Spezialitäten. Timothy der verantwortliche in dem Haus hat uns in allen Belangen hilfsbereit unterstützt. Da wir an der Küste verlängern wollten wurden sogar unsere Zugtickets von ihm umgebucht. Auch hat er alle Wünsche unsererseits umgesetzt, selbst wenn sie manchmal recht spontan waren. Es ist auch bei Regen wunderbar auszuhalten da Platz genug ist im Loungebereich zu relaxen. Wir wurden von Affen auf den Bäumen besucht und auch Hornebill Vögel waren zu sehen. Zum Strand ist es ein Katzensprung. Auch die Buchung lief reibungslos eine nachträgliche Änderung war kein Problem. Ich kann diese Villa wirklich nur wärmstens empfehlen. Danke an alle

We had a wonderful 9-day stay at the Brown Sugar Lodge on Mahé Island. The house is perched on a steep hill, offering stunning views of the bay, and is incredibly spacious and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, the privacy of the three bedrooms, and the large patio with a lovely pool – perfect for relaxing any time of day. The host family was exceptionally kind and helpful. They assisted us with grocery shopping and were always available to offer advice when needed, making our stay even more enjoyable. This is a great place for anyone looking for peace, space, and a beautiful setting. Highly recommended!

The Kingfisher house was perfect for our family trip, and is actually as stunning as it looks in the listing photos! We had a family of 6 staying in the house, and it felt perfect for our size. The living room was open and spacious that was perfect for game nights, and we really enjoyed the pool, even if it was very chilly. The kitchen came stocked with all the things you need to make a home cooked meal and was very clean. The only thing to watch out for is the difficulty in finding the house. If you follow the written instructions that Muftau provides, you should find the place with no trouble, but we still found that others had a difficult time in finding the house. We actually missed a sunset cruise because the tour company could not find the house at all. Otherwise, it was an absolutely amazing stay, and we’ve already recommended the space to others who are traveling in the area soon!

The villa was beautiful . Amazing staff . Levis went above and beyond . He was always happy to help us . The chef Fondo’s food was a brilliant. we enjoy every meal he produced.

Nydelig og avslappende sted. Kan anbefales! Vi hadde fire behagelige dager her.

My family had a wonderful 4 nights staying at Margo’s property - very private, very large functional bedrooms with fans, air conditioning and private ensuites, plus a separate fully self contained 3rd bedroom. A beautiful pool, 24 hour security onsite, daily house cleaning by Ester. And the dogs were super friendly and great company. If you like football, pack your boots and enjoy a game with the locals on the pitch next door. If you like tapas or just really good food - recommend having dinner at “ To Be” which is approx 1km from Margo’s. Couldn’t find fault with the accommodation or the lovely Margo as a wonderful host, who was available, responsive but also gave us total privacy.

Byron and his assistants were very responsive and helpful with every aspect of our stay. It is a beautiful place, nice pool and open layout, very short walk to a nice beach and restaurants, stores.

Tim is an extremely amenable and accommodating host. The house is lovely, transports you back to another time. The garden is a beautiful, tranquil, oasis of colour and life. Margaret the housekeeper takes very good care of you. The surrounding area is lovely and there are several excellent places to eat. A car however is probably a necessity to appreciate these fully.

This spot was exactly as explained on the app. It was great value for money, we loved the option of being able to self cater & they were very well equipped for it. I could even have my morning smoothie! The area is quiet & peaceful. The house is comfortable with aircon & even though Zanzibar has blackouts on occasion the generator immediately kicks in & the wifi has its own separate power so that stayed on. The wifi overall was mostly good only going down briefly which was a regional issue. Juli was friendly & very responsive if we ever asked for anything or had any questions. She gave us a lot of local knowledge which really helped. We became particularly fond of one of the local cats & although he was a stray Juli kindly said she will see what she can do to feed or home him as we became very attached. We would most definitely return!

was a wonderful stay , place was clean and everything is as advertised worth the price , kudos host !
