Yango - Zambia Ride Hailing Taxi App

​Posted: September 11 2023 | Tagged: Zambia

Stress-Free Ride-Hailing in Lusaka with Yango, Zambia's New Affordable Taxi App

​You download the app and sign up. It works with international numbers. You do not need to link a credit card. Yango drivers in Lusaka accept cash payment.

It was my first time on travels to use a taxi app.

The staff at the Africana Hotel told me that Yango was the best taxi app in Lusaka.

Yes, they can be cheap but local buses are cheaper and walking is free. Which is part of the reason why I never bothered before, but it was hot in Lusaka. i was already feeling a bit sick and the minivans are a bit of a squash.
​
I rode a YANGO Taxi from the Africana Hotel to Natwange Backpackers a distance of 11km.

The fare was just 66Kw. About 3 USD. If I took the bus, I would have needed to change in town, each ride 15 Kw +/- (unless the guys the other day had fleeced me). 30Kw and a lot of hassle vs. 60Kw and no hassle.

Yango taxi prices in Zambia are cheaper than the alternative, Ulendo.

And it was great. The ride turned up within 5 minutes.

When leaving Zambia, I used Yango to go to the Kenneth Luanda Airport.

Download the Yango App on Google Play.
