Is Airbnb Dead in Africa? Think Again.

The headlines say “Airbnb is dead”, but they’re talking about the US market. Africa is a whole different story.
Tourism is booming: 74M+ international arrivals in 2024, record highs in Morocco, Egypt, Tanzania, and beyond. Big brands like Hilton and Marriott are doubling down, but the African short-term rental market is still wide open, if you play it smart.

In this episode, I break down why Airbnb in Africa is NOT dead and how you can actually thrive here. I share 5 proven strategies from my own journey building profitable Airbnbs across African capitals and tourist hotspots:

1️⃣ Design with intention - spaces that serve your ideal guest.
2️⃣ Choose location based on guest function, not just views.
3️⃣ Identify and fill demand gaps.
4️⃣ Invest to stand out - average is over.
5️⃣ Build your own ecosystem - don’t rely solely on Airbnb.

Whether you’re in the diaspora dreaming of investing back home, or already on the continent ready to scale, this episode gives you the blueprint.
