Happy 5th Birthday, Africa! #5Years5Stars

By providing an alternative to car ownership to more than 1.3M riders across Sub-Saharan African, getting around your city has never been easier. Plus, with the introduction of low-cost products such as UberCHAPCHAP, UberPOA and uberBODA, there’s an option for everyone.

In the short time we have been in Africa, we’ve enabled over 36 000 economic opportunities! The drivers who pick you up after those late nights out on the town, the ones who drive you to that first date, and the ones who ensure that you’re never late for that afternoon meeting? These are the real uberHEROES.

We’re constantly working on improving our safety features, so that you feel more reassured before, during and after every ride.  Also, no matter where you are, you can share your trip with your loved ones and also get support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

In most urban regions of SSA, single occupant vehicles is the biggest contributor to urban congestion and pollution emissions. At Uber, one of our goals is to mitigate this by helping to reduce the number of cars on the roads, especially through the practice of increased vehicle pooling - which is becoming more and more popular across the world.

Uber is more than cars. We officially launched Uber EATS in Africa, with some of the best restaurants in South Africa and Kenya. We're consistently working on expanding the Uber products to meet your needs!
