Travellers looking for unforgettable stays across Mzansi can now search for accommodation on new app called Viya.
According to the creators of the app, the accommodation booking app was designed to revolutionise the way South Africans explore the country and offer its users a seamless experience to discover and book accommodations across the country while also providing a platform to share their travel experiences.
“With over 25 000 options all over Mzansi, Viya boasts diverse travel options for all preferences, from luxury getaways to budget-friendly adventures. The app allows its users to filter their searches by location, price, amenities, and more, making it easy to find the perfect accommodation,” said the platform representatives.
Viya said that it is more than just a travel app as it doubles as a social media platform that allows travellers to follow each other, share tips, and get inspired by fellow Viya travellers.
“The app’s user-friendly interface makes it easy to create a Viya profile and capture and share travel experiences with others, whether through photo or video posts or post-trip reviews,” said Viya.
