South Africans staying in Airbnb represent almost half of all guests (47%).

The majority of domestic guests are visiting Cape Town – followed by Johannesburg, Durban, Knysna and Port Elizabeth (in that order). And with almost 12,000 homes to choose from, Cape Town also is the most popular destination for travellers from outside of the country.

South Africans increasingly discover Airbnb as a great way to travel outside of the country, too with more than 32,000 South Africans have chosen to stay in someone else’s home while abroad - more than double the amount compared to last winter.
