About
CULTURE, HOSTED.
The hospitality and real estate arm of A Lot of Fire.
The Kaya is an African-rooted hospitality and entertainment real estate company creating the places, stays and journeys around culture. Through owned short-term residences, premium event hospitality, curated entertainment travel and venue-development services, The Kaya connects where people stay with the experiences they travel for.
We operate today in Nairobi, Cape Town and Johannesburg, and work with property owners, developers and investors on entertainment and hospitality spaces.
The name
What Kaya means to us
The name reflects the idea of place, shelter, belonging and community. The Kaya is not used as a decorative theme or a literal recreation of a traditional homestead. It informs how we think about hospitality: people should feel welcomed, secure, connected to their surroundings and looked after.
Operating philosophy
Own the experience
We operate what we offer, rather than reselling other people's hospitality.
Commercially credible
Every place, package and project is built on a workable commercial model.
Connected by design
Stays, events and journeys are planned as one guest journey, not separate products.
Current markets
