Steps
Open Funafuna
Go to funafuna.com or open the Funafuna app on your phone.
You can start from the home search bar or open Explore to browse mini-apps.
Tap Travel & Stay
Open Explore and choose Travel & Stay.
This mini-app brings together places to stay, travel planning, and related transport options when you need them for a trip.
Search by city or destination
Search for a city, town, or destination — for example Livingstone, Kitwe, South Luangwa, or Lusaka hotels.
Browse popular destination chips or type your own query. Results show hotels, lodges, guest houses, and similar stays in that area.
Open a hotel, lodge, or guest house profile
Tap a listing to open its public profile.
Each property has its own page with photos, description, and contact buttons.
Review photos, rooms, amenities, location, and contact options
On the profile, check:
- Photos — rooms, grounds, and common areas
- Rooms or rates — when the property has listed them
- Amenities — Wi‑Fi, parking, breakfast, pool, and other features
- Location — area, directions, and map when available
- Contact — WhatsApp, Call, and hours
Compare a few properties before you message anyone.
Call or WhatsApp to confirm availability and pricing
Tap WhatsApp or Call to ask about:
- Availability for your dates
- Nightly rate or package price
- Payment method — cash, mobile money, or bank transfer
- Check-in time and any deposit
Funafuna connects you to the property — booking and payment are agreed directly with the host.
