Welcome to Accommodation Hunter
At Accommodation Hunter, we believe that staying informed about Africa’s evolving landscape is more than a habit—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re planning your next trip, investing in property, or simply curious about the continent’s dynamic changes, our mission is to bring you clear, reliable, and timely insights directly from the heart of Africa.
What We Do
We deliver daily news and in-depth updates on accommodation trends, travel developments, real estate shifts, and regional events across Africa. From Cape Town’s coastal rentals to Nairobi’s booming short-term stays, we track what’s changing, why it matters, and how it affects travelers, investors, and locals alike.
Topics We Cover
Our content focuses on:
- Emerging accommodation trends across African cities and tourist destinations
- Regulatory changes affecting short-term rentals and hospitality licensing
- Investment opportunities in African real estate and tourism infrastructure
- Travel advisories, seasonal demand patterns, and local events impacting stays
- Profiles of innovative hosts, boutique lodges, and sustainable accommodation providers
About the Creator
I’m Liona Fairchild, a Cape Town-based journalist and travel enthusiast with over a decade of experience covering African tourism and property markets. I’ve lived in Johannesburg, worked in Lagos, and explored remote lodges from Zanzibar to the Okavango Delta. What started as a personal quest to find authentic, reliable information about African stays turned into Accommodation Hunter—a platform born from frustration with fragmented, outdated, or biased sources.
Why This Website Exists
I created Accommodation Hunter because I kept hitting dead ends: travel blogs that didn’t reflect local realities, news sites that ignored accommodation trends, and property portals that didn’t explain the ‘why’ behind the data. I wanted a single, trustworthy source that connected the dots between tourism, policy, culture, and real estate—so you don’t have to juggle ten different sites to understand what’s really happening.
Our Values
We prioritize accuracy over speed, depth over headlines, and context over clickbait. Every article is researched with local sources, verified with industry contacts, and written with the reader’s needs in mind. We don’t accept paid promotions disguised as news, and we correct our mistakes publicly and promptly. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge—not just information.
