About

Here at Guides.Africa we have a simple mission – to make technology work for everyone across the continent. We provide step-by-step guides and tutorials to help Africans learn about the latest apps, software, devices and digital services shaping our world.

Our story began back in 2019 when our founder, Kev, became frustrated with the lack of localised resources for new technology products being launched in Kenya.

The guides were either missing, hard to find or didn’t resonate with local needs.

So Kev brought together a small team of writers and technicians to start creating easy-to-understand, practical user guides tailored specifically for African audiences.

We started by covering the most popular smartphone apps and branch out from there across sectors like finance (cash apps, mobile money), transportation (ridesharing, logistics), entertainment (streaming services, gaming), utilities (solar panels, generators) and much more.

Our ever-expanding content library now features over 500 step-by-step guides and tutorials customised across features and functionalities that we know our audiences care about most. And our solutions-focused writers have direct experience of the real-life challenges facing customers across Africa’s major tech growth markets today.

As technology saturation continues across the continent, the need for guidance and digital literacy has never been greater. We believe inclusive, insightful content should be available to all – no matter who you are or where you are based.

Our commitment to fairness and factual accuracy has earned us a community of over 100,000 loyal monthly readers and rave reviews across our coverage areas.

Whether you want to master WhatsApp, troubleshoot your smartphone, utilise cloud computing or learn the latest TikTok trends, we’ve got you covered.

We work around the clock connecting Africa’s emerging consumers with the knowledge they need to extract true value from the technologies changing their daily lives. Our continent may hold the keys to the future, but we help open the right doors today.

Let us guide you!
