肯尼亚旅游预订初创公司 BuuPass 宣布与总部位于内罗毕的数字钱包 SafariBucks 达成合作，在其平台上引入跨境支付功能，此举标志着该公司正从单纯的票务服务向企业差旅和区域旅游业务拓展。\n\n通过此次合作，旅客可以使用 SafariBucks 支付 BuuPass 的巴士、机票和接送服务费用，交易通过本地支付通道进行结算。SafariBucks 的支出管理产品还将与 BuuPass 的企业差旅平台 Gavanpass 进行集成，允许企业以多种货币为员工差旅提供资金支持并管理税务报告。\n\n此次合作正值 BuuPass 进军企业差旅市场之际。2026年4月，该公司推出了 Gavanpass，这是一个用于预订机票、酒店、巴士、地面接送和团体旅游的平台，具备审批工作流和实时支出追踪功能。与 SafariBucks 的集成则为其增添了跨境支付层。\n\nBuuPass 联合创始人兼联席首席执行官 Sonia Kabra 表示：「我们花费了八年时间构建非洲旅游的分销层，而客户不断告诉我们的是，支付而非预订才是更难解决的问题。与 SafariBucks 的合作让我们能够填补这一空白，同时无需改变任何人的现有支付习惯。企业差旅是我们首先看到这一功能落地的地方，也是我们目前业务中增长最快的板块。」\n\nBuuPass 成立于 2016 年，用户可以通过其专有软件和应用程序编程接口（API）预订城际巴士、火车和航班的旅行车票。该平台在在线和离线环境中提供库存管理、预订、支付和报告功能。它已与包括 M-PESA、MTN MoMo、第一国民银行（FNB）和 Vodapay 在内的金融及移动支付平台进行了集成。目前，BuuPass 的业务范围涵盖肯尼亚、乌干达、坦桑尼亚和南非。\n\n在此次合作达成的一年前，BuuPass 获得了 Yango Group 旗下企业风险投资基金 Yango Ventures 未披露金额的投资，用于扩大其基础设施建设并深化其在非洲市场的布局。

BuuPass, the Kenyan travel-booking startup, is adding cross-border payments to its platform through a partnership with Nairobi-based digital wallet SafariBucks, as it expands beyond ticketing into corporate and regional travel.

The partnership will let travellers use SafariBucks to pay for BuuPass buses, flights and transfers, with transactions settled through local payment rails. SafariBucks’ Spend Management product will also integrate with Gavanpass, BuuPass’ corporate travel platform, allowing companies to fund and manage tax reporting for employee travel across multiple currencies.

The partnership comes as BuuPass expands into corporate travel. In April 2026, it launched Gavanpass, a platform for booking flights, hotels, buses, ground transfers and group travel, with approval workflows and real-time spend tracking. The SafariBucks integration adds a cross-border payment layer.

“We have spent eight years building the distribution layer for African travel, and what customers keep telling us is that payments, not bookings, are the harder half of the problem,” said Sonia Kabra, co-founder and co-CEO of BuuPass. “Partnering with SafariBucks lets us close that gap without asking anyone to change how they already pay. Corporate travel is where we see it landing first, and it is the fastest-growing part of our business today.”

Launched in 2016,  BuuPass allows people to book intercity travel tickets for buses, trains, and flights through its proprietary software and Application Programming Interface (APIs). The platform offers inventory management, bookings, payments, and reporting across online and offline environments. It is integrated with financial and mobile money platforms, including M-PESA, MTN MoMo, First National Bank (FNB), and Vodapay. BuuPass currently operates in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and South Africa

The partnership comes a year after BuuPass secured an undisclosed investment from Yango Ventures, a corporate venture fund of Yango Group, to scale its infrastructure and deepen its footprint across African markets.
