“Anyone traveling from Blantyre to Lilongwe, inbox me” says a post on Facebook and Whatsapp; a common post that shows that Malawians are looking for a fast and efficient means of travel to the capital city and beyond. Borneo Travel is a coach service that sticks to its schedule; the first of its kind in Malawi to provide an online booking option.

Biznews interviewed the President for Borneo Travel, Samuel Mtunga, who revealed the following;

History

“Borneo coach was first launched in the United States of America in November 2018, followed by launching in Malawi later in the same month.”

Perks

“We focus on safety and service; this is why our coaches have dual drivel teams to protect customers from fatigued driving and driver breathalyzing is standard practice. We also offer air conditioning, individual USB ports, video entertainment, and light refreshments to our customers.”

Why travel with Borneo?

“Our customers’ convenience, comfort, safety, and satisfaction are of the utmost importance to us. Our online booking platform caters to the convenience of our customers; our luxury seating and other amenities are custom-designed to provide an unrivaled level of comfort; and we make no compromise when it comes to our safety standards and protocols.”

Routes and more

“Right now our route is between Blantyre and Lilongwe, available for booking online and payable through mobile payment platforms like Mo626, Airtel Money and more.”

As a new coach service, how does Borneo plan to grow while maintaining excellent service?

“We are a self-funded company, which gives us a lot of flexibility when it comes to growing our platform. We can be a little patient since we don’t having to worry about volume just to satisfy lender payments. It allows us to take a disciplined approach  toward building a high-quality  service for our customers and growing our platform organically.
