NAIROBI, KENYA — 5 June 2026 — Epic Africa, operated by Epic Escapes Limited, today announced its launch in Kenya — its first market — introducing a pan-African marketplace where travellers discover and book curated experiences and local businesses reach a global audience.

From safaris and stays to dining, events, tours and one-of-a-kind experiences, Epic Africa brings supply that is often hard to find and harder to book onto a single, trusted platform. Every host completes identity verification before taking bookings, and travellers check out securely with transparent pricing.

“Africa is home to some of the most extraordinary experiences on earth, yet too often they are hard to find and surrounded by uncertainty,” said an Epic Africa spokesperson. “Launching in Kenya is the first step in a wider roadmap to connect the world with the best of the continent, while helping local businesses grow on their own terms.”

What is available at launch

  • Curated experiences across safaris, stays, dining, events, tours and a growing marketplace.
  • Verified hosts — business owners complete identity verification (KYC) before they can take bookings or receive payouts.
  • Secure checkout processed by Paystack, supporting multiple local currencies, with no storage of full card details.
  • Flexible pricing — hosts can sell bundled Packages for one fixed price or individual Items.

A roadmap across Africa

Kenya is the starting point. Epic Africa is building toward curated onboarding of experiences across multiple countries on its growth roadmap, supported by partnerships that bring grants, growth financing and market-access support to hosts.
