We are a Kenyan technology company building the digital infrastructure that connects travelers with the country's best local experiences — and gives travel businesses the tools they need to grow and thrive in the digital age.
Kenya's travel industry is fragmented, digital adoption among local vendors is low, and travelers have no single trusted destination to plan and book trips. We're changing that.
To make travel in Kenya seamless for consumers and profitable for local businesses — by building technology that bridges the gap between great experiences and the people who want them.
To become East Africa's leading travel marketplace — the platform where every journey in the region begins, and where every local travel business finds its digital home.
Travelers struggle to find and book trusted local experiences. Vendors are trapped in WhatsApp conversations and social media with no scalable sales system. Nobody wins.
A multi-vendor marketplace where travelers search, compare, and book everything in one place — and vendors get a professional digital storefront, booking engine, and ready-made audience from day one.
We started Getaway Marketplace because we lived the problem. Planning a trip in Kenya meant browser tabs, WhatsApp groups, phone calls, and uncertainty — even for people who knew where to look.
At the same time, we saw incredible tour operators, accommodation providers, and transport companies with no real digital presence — losing customers they never knew they had.
The gap was obvious. Kenya's travel industry needed its own dedicated marketplace — one built specifically for this market, priced for local businesses, and designed for how Kenyans actually travel.
So we built it. Getaway Marketplace is the platform we always wished existed.
Every decision we make starts with the question: does this help local travel businesses grow? Vendors are the backbone of our marketplace.
No hidden fees, no surprise commissions, no confusing contracts. We say what we charge, and we charge what we say.
We design for this market — mobile-first, M-Pesa ready, KES pricing, and an understanding of how Kenyans actually travel and do business.
We only onboard verified vendors, enforce quality standards, and build review systems that mean something — because travelers deserve to book with confidence.
We're not building for a quick exit. We're building the platform that Kenya's travel industry will rely on for the next decade.
We move quickly, iterate constantly, and make mistakes — but we own them, learn from them, and improve. Speed without integrity is nothing.
A lean, focused team of builders, travel lovers, and Kenyans who believe our country deserves better.
