About SafeBoda
Founded in Kampala, SafeBoda provides a mobile application that connects users with a network of trained and certified motorcycle and car drivers. The company focuses on safety and professional standards for urban mobility, offering cashless transactions through a dedicated digital wallet. Its operations aim to modernize informal transportation while ensuring affordable fares and transparent pricing for personal and corporate use.
Beyond transportation, the company has evolved into a super app offering fintech services, mobile money payments, and food and shop deliveries. In 2026, SafeBoda launched a B2B platform specifically for small and medium enterprises and corporations to manage employee transport and track delivery expenses. This shift follows regulatory changes in Kampala that impacted traditional motorcycle taxi operations in the central business district.
