Gross bookings per Ziguinchor listing averaged F CFA 1,076,415 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Ziguinchor Region average: F CFA 2,962,783), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Ziguinchor listing brings in F CFA 291,000 in July, its best month, and F CFA 60,900 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 39% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Ziguinchor Airbnb took in F CFA 1,076,415 in the 12 months to October 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about F CFA 153,000 a month after running costs.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

The average nightly rate in Ziguinchor, known as ADR (average daily rate), was F CFA 27,502 over the past year, about 53% below the Ziguinchor Region average of F CFA 58,200 and about 48% below the Senegal average of F CFA 53,400. In a typical year, rates swing with the seasons, from about F CFA 18,500 in November to about F CFA 39,500 in December.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, F CFA 29,200. The 12-month ADR of F CFA 27,502 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Ziguinchor it averaged F CFA 6,140 over the past year, from about F CFA 2,030 in a typical November to about F CFA 9,370 in a typical July.

Seasonality
With only 31 active listings, the monthly pattern in Ziguinchor is noisy, since a few long or pricey stays can lift a month; revenue has tended to peak in July and bottom out in November.
November 2025 and January 2026 are left out of these averages as one-offs: listings earned about 67% more than they did in the same months a year earlier. Both still count in the 12-month figures at the top of the page.

Permits
None of the 31 active listings in Ziguinchor display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Ziguinchor.
