Simplifying rental management
one property at a time.
Makao is built for landlords and property managers who want a smarter way to collect rent, track payments, and manage tenants — all from one place.
Vision
To power every rental in Kenya.
We see a future where rent collection is fully automated, landlords are stress-free, and tenants enjoy seamless digital experiences.
Mission
Technology that works for you.
From M-Pesa auto-matching to tenant self-service portals, we build tools that reduce admin and give you back your time.
Promise
Zero hidden fees, always.
Transparent pricing, no transaction charges, and support that actually shows up when you need it.
Built in Kenya. For Kenyan landlords.
Makao was born from the frustration of chasing payments, reconciling M-Pesa messages, and losing track of who paid what. We knew there had to be a better way.
Today, we serve landlords from Nairobi to Kisumu — from one-unit owners to hundred-door portfolios. Every feature we ship is shaped by real conversations with the people who use it.
This is rental management, the way it should be.
