About Sokoni

Sokoni is Tanzania's marketplace for verified sellers, starting in Dar es Salaam. We believe buying and selling online in Tanzania should feel like a real market — real photos, real people, and real clarity about who you're dealing with.

Every seller on Sokoni goes through manual identity verification before their products go live — a NIDA number and business licence, reviewed by our team, not just a form. That's our main defence against fraudulent shops, and the reason a verified badge here actually means something.

We build for mid-range Android phones on patchy 3G, because that's where most of our users actually are.
