Why Seruka Exists: A Story Every East African Traveler Understands

This Is Why Seruka Exists

A story every East African traveler understands

Eric was sitting in a small cyber café in Nyanza (South province of Rwanda), staring at the screen.

He had just received the opportunity of a lifetime — a scholarship to study abroad. It was everything he had worked for.

But there was one problem.

He had no idea how to book a flight.

“Where do people even start?”

He opened platforms like Kayak, Expedia, and Booking.com. The options were endless… but confusing.

It was his first time trying to pay online. He didn’t have much experience with bank cards. The prices were in dollars, and when the payment didn’t go through, he didn’t know what went wrong.

And deep down, he was scared… What if he paid and never received his ticket? Who would he even contact? What would he tell his family if something went wrong?

So like many others, he closed the laptop… and went to a travel agent.

This Is Not Just Eric’s Story

Across East Africa — Kigali, Nairobi, Kampala — thousands face the same struggle.

Not because technology doesn’t exist… but because it wasn’t built for them.
