Winner of TNW Startup World Competition, SMS ticketing service Safari Yetu

The winner of Tanzania's Startup World, The Next Web’s global startup competition held in Dar Es Salaam was Safari Yetu.

Safari Yetu changes how consumers buy bus tickets in Tanzania; currently buying a bus ticket for travel means going to a bus station a day earlier than the expected travel date, spending two to five hours in traffic just to get your ticket and then do the same the day you are traveling.

With Safari Yetu, you pay online or via mobile, receive an SMS reservation or ticket and go to the bus station once; the day you are traveling.
