About Afristay
Established in 2006 by local entrepreneurs Oliver Bryant and Rick Melmans. By 2011, Afristay quickly developed into one of the largest accommodation portals in South Africa, with more than 10,000 listings throughout Africa and 100,000 visitors every month. Rupert Bryant felt it was time for a new direction, so he was hired as CEO and relaunched it and its new website in 2014. While relaunching, Afristay also got rid of the root cause of only providing inquiry in the past and began to provide booking services directly through the website. There, their brand + philosophy is that from finding your ideal place to stay, to booking to arrival and departure, they want your entire journey to be unique.
