UberAfter a whole year of speculation, San Fransico based, Taxi-hailing service, Uber is set to launch in Nairobi January 22.

The app-based transportation network and taxi service has teamed up with local restaurant discovery platform, EatOut to offer complimentary taxi rides during the latter’s Nairobi Restaurant Week campaign which kicks off next week.

According to sources close to Uber Kenya, the firm has signed up 30 cars for its pilot phase and is signing up more before its official launch next month. Uber first launched in Africa August 2013, making South Africa its choice destination, then later launched in Lagos and Cairo. Kenya’s launch has been speculated for long after the firm announced it was hiring community managers.
