Our Story
Started with one apartment. Built on 10 years of trust.
In 2014, we listed a single Nairobi apartment and helped a group of friends find somewhere to stay together. That was it. No platform. No funding. Just a sharp eye for what makes a great group stay and the energy to make it happen.
Over the next decade, Vamos became the name Kenyans trusted for coastal getaways, bush escapes, and everything in between. We pioneered the group villa format on the Coast. We were the first to package the yacht-plus-apartment experience in Mombasa. We moved 400,000+ travelers through properties we had personally vetted.
In 2026, we reset. Vamos 2.0 is leaner, sharper, and built on a model that works. Travelers connect directly with verified hosts, Vamos earns a curation fee, and no one holds your money but the host you're booking with.

Real Homes. Real Verification.
We only recommend stays we've vetted, visited, or verified through trusted host partners. No fake listings. No misleads.
๐ธ
Pay Hosts Directly
Your money goes straight to the host. Vamos earns a referral fee from hosts, not from you. Our service is free for travelers.
