About SwiftPost Uganda

Uganda's most trusted courier service — delivering speed, reliability, and care since 2015.

Our Story

Born in Kampala,
Built for All Uganda

SwiftPost Uganda was founded in 2015 by three Ugandan entrepreneurs who were frustrated by the unreliable, expensive, and slow courier options available in the country. They believed Uganda deserved a world-class courier service built specifically for local needs.

Starting with just 5 motorcycles and a small office in Nakasero, we now operate a fleet of 600+ riders and drivers covering all 112 districts of Uganda. Our technology platform integrates seamlessly with MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, and WhatsApp — tools every Ugandan already uses.

Today, SwiftPost processes over 50,000 deliveries every month, serving everyone from market traders in Owino to corporate companies on Kampala Road. We are proudly Ugandan, and we're just getting started.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Speed

We treat every package with urgency. Whether same-day or overnight, we move fast because we know your delivery matters right now — not eventually.

🛡️

Reliability

When we say 6PM delivery, we mean 6PM delivery. Our 99.8% on-time rate isn't an accident — it's the result of meticulous planning and dedicated people.

🤝

Trust

Every package is insured. Every rider is vetted and trained. Every delivery is tracked. You can trust us with your most valuable items.

🇺🇬

Uganda First

We are built for Uganda's roads, culture, and payment systems. Our riders speak Luganda, Acholi, Runyankole, and more — because local knowledge matters.

💡

Innovation

We constantly improve — from WhatsApp booking to MTN MoMo integration to live GPS tracking. Technology serves our customers, not the other way around.

🌱

Sustainability

We're investing in electric boda-bodas for Kampala deliveries and tree-planting initiatives to offset our carbon footprint across Uganda.
