Every day, thousands of Ugandans use SafeBoda to go to work, run businesses, or get home safely. Our customers want safety and reliability, while our drivers work hard to support their families. These daily experiences drive everything we do.

We believe the best ideas come from listening to you. Feedback from our customers and drivers helps us improve. For us, innovation isn't just about technology; it's about solving real problems and making travel better for everyone.

In the first half of 2026, we focused on practical solutions for our community.

We launched Scheduled Trips, which lets you book a boda or a SafeCar in advance. This makes it easier to plan for airport runs, school drop offs or early morning meetings.

We also improved our delivery service. Now, you can send more than one package in a single trip with peace of mind, as deliveries are protected by insurance. For enterprise customers running e-commerce websites, mobile apps or even whatsapp chatbots, our system-to-system integration layer allows you to dispatch a SafeBoda driver without the need to log into the SafeBoda app.

We are also excited to have expanded to Jinja City. This move brings our safe and reliable services to more people across Uganda. This means your trip to the source of the River Nile, Bujagali falls or even for the Nyege Nyege festival is now a click of a button away.

For companies, our Corporate Solution helps manage staff travel easily. It provides businesses with a simple way to track trips and costs. Making accountability for petty cash even more transparent and eliminates the burden of storing receipts for months to pass that stressful year end audit.

While we improve things for customers, we also care for our drivers.

Our drivers are entrepreneurs and parents. We support them through insurance, cash loans, land loans and help with driving permits and road safety training. For us, the growth and development of the driver partner is equally as important. For them the SafeBoda community is an opportunity to access a bike loan at the lowest cost, securing a plot of land or even constructing a home for their family, insurance coverage in case of an unfortunate road crash all whilst earning a living by doing decent work. To us, the future of transport is about helping people. Every new feature should make life easier for our customers and create better opportunities for our drivers.

Thank you to every customer and driver who uses SafeBoda. Your support helps us get better every day.

Together, we are building a safer and smarter way to move.
