Ship goods across Kenya and East Africa
Beba connects businesses across East Africa with a trusted network of vetted transporters, from boda bodas to trucks and cargo planes, and handles every job from pickup to proof of delivery.
Join the waitlistHow a shipment works
Five steps from booking to proof of delivery.
Find the right vehicle
Browse vetted transporters by price and availability, post your job and let them bid, or book space on a truck already scheduled for your route.
Agree the price
Settle it in the chat, on a call or by voice note. You and the transporter confirm the same amount before anything moves.
Loaded, on the record
You pay up front and Beba holds it. Live photos at loading show exactly what left, and only then does half go to the transporter.
Track every kilometre
Follow your cargo live on the map. Your receiver can too, on a web link, without needing the app.
Delivered, with proof
A live delivery photo and your receiver's signature confirm the drop-off. Only then does Beba release the rest of the payment.
The right vehicle for any load
Each transporter lists what their vehicles carry; these are typical figures.
- Boda boda
- Parcels and small loads, up to about 100 kg.
- Car
- A few boxes or bags, up to about 300 kg.
- Pickup
- Around a tonne: furniture, produce, building materials.
- Lorry
- Roughly 3 to 15 tonnes, depending on its size.
- Trailer
- Full loads, up to about 28 tonnes.
- Boat
- Lake Victoria and coastal routes. Loads vary by vessel.
- Cargo plane
- Air freight for urgent or far-off cargo. Loads vary by aircraft.
Why your cargo is safe with Beba
- Vetted transporters. National ID, business registration, goods-in-transit insurance and proof of a physical base, checked before a transporter can take your job.
- Live photos only. Loading and delivery photos are taken live in the app. Gallery uploads aren't accepted.
- Payment held by Beba. You pay up front and Beba holds it: half goes to the transporter at loading, the rest only when your cargo is delivered.
- The receiver signs. At drop-off the receiver signs on the driver's phone, and that releases the final payment.
- Disputes decided on evidence. If something goes wrong, our team reviews the photos, the chat and the GPS trail before deciding.
- Ratings both ways. Customers and owners rate each other after every job.
- Your data. We handle personal data in line with Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019.
Questions from shippers
How does payment work?
You pay the full agreed amount up front in the app (M-Pesa included) and Beba holds it. Half goes to the transporter when the live loading photos are confirmed, and the rest only when your receiver signs for delivery. Fees are set out in our terms.
How do I find a truck?
Three ways: browse vetted transporters by price and availability, post your job and let them bid, or book space on a truck already scheduled for your route.
Can the receiver track the delivery without the app?
Yes. The receiver gets a secure web link that shows the truck live, and signs on the driver's phone at drop-off.
Is my cargo insured?
Owners must hold goods-in-transit insurance to be verified on Beba.
What can I send?
Most legal, non-hazardous goods: produce, stock, furniture, building materials and parcels. Dangerous goods, illegal items and anything that needs a special permit aren't allowed.
When does Beba launch?
The marketplace is in development and Beba for Business comes next. We'll tell the waitlist first.
