A Safe Travel App for Nigeria That Keeps Your People With You Every Kilometre
Whether you're commuting across Lagos at night, travelling interstate by road, or sending a child back to campus, SafeTripAlert shares your live location with the people you trust — and raises the alarm if something goes wrong.
Made for How Nigerians Actually Travel
Long road journeys, unpredictable traffic, patchy coverage, and late-night movement are everyday realities. SafeTripAlert was designed around them.
Late-night commutes
Walking home from work or a night out in Lagos, Abuja, or Port Harcourt? Your trusted contact follows you live until you arrive.
Interstate road trips
Travelling Lagos to Ibadan, Abuja to Kaduna, or Enugu to Onitsha? Share one live link so family can see your progress the whole way.
Campus & student travel
Students moving between hostels, campus, and home can keep a parent or guardian informed automatically.
Airport pickups & drop-offs
Heading to MMIA or Nnamdi Azikiwe International at odd hours? Your contact gets your live route and an arrival alert.
How It Works
Add a trusted contact
Pick a partner, parent, or friend. They don't need to install anything.
Start a safe journey
Set your destination, tap one button, and they get a live tracking link by WhatsApp or SMS.
Arrive — or get help fast
Arrival is detected automatically. If you're overdue or tap SOS, everyone is alerted with your exact location.
Safety Features That Matter on Nigerian Roads
Live GPS tracking
Your location updates every 10–15 seconds on a live map your contact opens in any browser — no app install needed on their side.
SOS panic button
One tap sends your exact GPS position to all your trusted contacts by WhatsApp, SMS, and email.
Voice-activated SOS
Say "Help" or "Emergency" to trigger an alert hands-free when you can't reach your phone.
Deadman switch
Set an ETA. If you don't confirm arrival in time, your contacts are alerted automatically.
Geofence arrival alerts
SafeTripAlert detects when you reach your destination and tells your contact — nothing to tap.
Works on patchy networks
Location updates queue offline and sync when your connection returns — built for real Nigerian network conditions.
Emergency numbers ready
One-tap dialling for Nigerian emergency lines (112, 767) alongside your GPS coordinates.
Installs like an app
Add it to your home screen in seconds. Works on low-end Android phones — no Play Store download required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SafeTripAlert free in Nigeria?
Yes. The Free plan includes live GPS tracking, an SOS panic button, and one trusted contact at no cost. Paid plans are currently also free while we grow in Nigeria.
Does it work without the person I'm sharing with installing an app?
Yes. Your trusted contact receives a link by WhatsApp, SMS, or email and opens it in any browser to see your live location.
Will it drain my battery or data?
SafeTripAlert uses adaptive GPS — it reduces update frequency when you're stationary — and location pings are tiny, so data usage stays low even on metered plans.
What happens if I lose network coverage on the road?
Your positions are stored on your phone and sync automatically when coverage returns, and the deadman switch can still alert your contacts if you go silent past your ETA.
Is SafeTripAlert a replacement for emergency services?
No. In a life-threatening emergency, always call the Nigerian emergency numbers (112 or 767) first. SafeTripAlert keeps your people informed and gets help moving faster.
