The honest truth: AWS, GCP, and Azure have deeper ecosystems and more services. If you need 200+ managed services, use them. But if you need GPU compute, local payments, low latency, and an account that won't get banned — Safari Cloud is built exactly for you.
Answers to the questions we get asked most by founders and engineering teams across Africa.
We're a hybrid. We own and operate African-based edge nodes (Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg) for low-latency workloads and data residency. For raw GPU horsepower (A100s, H100s), we have reserved capacity agreements with Tier 1 data center partners. You get a single billing relationship and a unified API — we handle the infrastructure stitching behind the scenes.
99.9% uptime for GPU instances, 99.95% for general-purpose VMs. If we miss it, you get service credits automatically — no tickets needed. Our incident response team operates in WAT, EAT, and SAST timezones so you're never waiting for US business hours.
Yes. We support standard Docker containers, Kubernetes deployments, and common ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX). Our team offers hands-on migration support for Early Access customers — including help porting your infrastructure-as-code configs. Most teams migrate a pilot workload within a week.
Bank transfer (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa), Paystack, Flutterwave, and stablecoins (USDT, USDC on Ethereum and Solana). No international credit card required. We issue proper invoices in your local currency. Enterprises can arrange monthly invoicing with NET-30 terms.
Apply, get approved (usually within 24 hours), fund your account, and spin up your first GPU — all in under 5 minutes after approval. We do a lightweight KYB (Know Your Business) check instead of requiring an international credit card and a 3-day review process.
Yes. Committed usage (3 or 12-month reservations) gets you 20–40% off on-demand rates. We're also launching interruptible (spot) instances at 60-70% off for fault-tolerant training jobs. Contact us for custom enterprise pricing if you need 10+ GPUs continuously.
PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Hugging Face Transformers, DeepSpeed, and vLLM out of the box. Pre-configured environments are available, or bring your own Docker image. We also support Jupyter notebooks, VS Code remote SSH, and standard CUDA 12.x toolchains.
We're compliant with NDPA (Nigeria), DPA (Kenya), POPIA (South Africa), and Ghana's DPA. AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and VPC isolation by default. You choose which region your data lives in — it never leaves that jurisdiction unless you explicitly configure cross-border transfers.
Apply for early access and tell us about your project. We'll match you with the right GPU infrastructure for your needs.
