About Kwetu
Your local alternative to the big platforms
Our Story
Kwetu is one of East Africa's most beautiful coastal destinations — white sand beaches, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, incredible marine life, and world-renowned deep-sea fishing. Yet property owners and boat captains here have long depended on international platforms that take large commissions and don't understand the local market.
Kwetu was built to change that. We're a local-first platform that connects travellers directly with Kwetu's best accommodation and fishing charter operators — with lower fees, local payment options including M-Pesa, and a focus on the community.
What We Offer
Holiday Properties
Beachfront villas, apartments, cottages and holiday homes — all hand-vetted and managed by local owners who know Kwetu best.
Fishing Charters
Deep-sea fishing for marlin, sailfish, tuna and more with experienced local captains. Sport fishers, dhows, and catamarans available.
Secure Payments
Pay by card (Visa, Mastercard) or M-Pesa. Bookings are only confirmed once payment is received — no surprises.
Local Support
We're based on the Kenyan coast. If you need help before, during, or after your stay, we're here and we understand the area.
For Property & Boat Owners
If you own a rental property or fishing boat in Kwetu, we'd love to have you on the platform. We charge lower commissions than the international platforms, handle payments securely, and give you a full dashboard to manage your listings, bookings, and reviews.
Getting started is free — create an owner account, build your listing page with photos, pricing, and amenities, then submit it for review. Once approved, your property or boat will be live and bookable on the site.
