Revolutionizing Car Sharing in East Africa
Born in the heart of Kampala, TheTravella is more than just a car rental platform. We're building the future of transportation in East Africa, one journey at a time.
Our Story
TheTravella was born from a simple observation: in Uganda and across East Africa, many people own cars that sit idle most of the time, while others struggle to find reliable transportation when they need it.
Founded in 2025 by Samuel Mpwanyi, TheTravella set out to create a platform that would connect these two groups, enabling car owners to earn extra income from their vehicles and providing travelers with access to a wide variety of cars at affordable prices.
Starting in Kampala, we've quickly grown to serve multiple cities across Uganda, with plans to expand throughout East Africa. Our mission is to improve the travel experience in the region by making car sharing accessible, affordable, and convenient for everyone.
Today, TheTravella is more than just a car sharing platform – we're building a community of car owners and travelers who share our vision for a more connected and sustainable future.
