It all started on a trip to Burundi.
We were excited to explore — to feel the culture, the nightlife and the places locals love. But instead, we found ourselves stuck. There was no easy way to discover what was happening around us in real time. Things were happening, we just didn’t know about it.
That frustration sparked something.
We realized it wasn’t just our problem — countless travelers, tourists, and even locals struggle to truly connect with a city beyond the surface. Events go unnoticed. Local businesses stay invisible. The soul of a place gets lost in the noise.
That’s when Explorease was born — not as a tech product, but as a response to a very human need: The desire to feel at home wherever you are in Africa — to explore with ease.
To make exploring Africa effortless and meaningful — connecting people to culture, experiences, and local economies across the continent.
We’re building the go-to platform for discovering Africa — whether you’re in Kigali, Accra, Lagos, or beyond. Explorease offers a location-based, AI-powered window into everything around you: from places to visit, activities and events, local dining, and a native marketplace, to the stories behind every beautiful place.
Behind the scenes, our platform also supports the lifeblood of these experiences — event organizers, local guides, artisans, hotels, and small businesses — by helping them reach new audiences, grow revenue, and operate digitally.
We believe that by making exploration easy, we can unlock Africa for everyone — from locals to travelers — and create real economic opportunity in the process.
This is more than travel.
This is cultural connection.
This is economic empowerment.
This is Africa, explored with ease.
