Know your child got to school — safely
The school run is the part of the day a parent cannot see. A safe zone around home and school quietly tells you when your child arrives and when they leave, so you are reassured on an ordinary day and told early on an unusual one. If they ever need you, one button on the device asks for help.

A quiet nudge, not a constant watch
A safe zone is a circle you draw on the map — around home, around school, around grandma's house. You do not have to stare at a screen all day. The point is to be told the moment something is different, and otherwise left in peace.
Draw the safe zones
Mark the places your child should be at certain times — home, school, the route between. Each one becomes a safe zone the platform watches.
Arrive and leave, told simply
When your child enters or leaves a safe zone, the safe_zone_exit rule sends you a plain message — arrived at school, left home — so you know without asking.
Silence is good news
On a normal day nothing unusual happens and you hear little. The value is that the one day it matters, you are told early rather than finding out late.
If they need help: the SOS button
The tracker carries an SOS button. When your child presses it, the sos_panic rule alerts the family circle with their location, so the people who care about them know at once and can act.
Trakora assists recovery — it is not a substitute for the police or emergency services.
Made for the school day, not surveillance
Real features of the personal module, kept simple and kept consented.
Safe zones
Draw a circle around home, school or a relative's house. The safe_zone_exit rule tells you on arrival and departure — nothing in between.
/ safe_zone_exitSOS button
One press asks for help. The sos_panic rule alerts your family circle with the child's location. A prompt to act — not a replacement for emergency services.
/ sos_panicFamily circle
The people who can see your child's location are the ones you add — parents, guardians, a trusted relative. No one outside the circle, ever.
/ family-circleLive location sharing
When it helps — a school trip, a late pickup — location can be shared live with the circle. It is a shared, agreed view, not a hidden one.

A GPS watch a child wears, a mini tracker in a bag, or a phone they already carry — pick what fits your child and their day.

Tracking a family member is something everyone in the circle agrees to. How that works — and who can see what — is spelled out on the privacy page.

Honest limits
A tracker is a tool that helps you stay in touch. Being clear about what it is not is part of caring for your family well.
What this cannot do
- An SOS alert reaches your family circle — it does not dispatch police, an ambulance or a rescue team. Trakora assists recovery; it is not a substitute for the police or emergency services.
- Location comes from GPS and mobile signal. In a building, a basement or a poor-coverage area a fix can be delayed or approximate, and it updates when signal returns.
- A device needs charge and a working SIM. A flat battery or a tracker left at home tells you nothing — the tool only helps when it is worn and powered.
- Battery life and range depend on the device you choose; those figures are shown as — here rather than stated as one number for every device.
- It is a safety aid, not a guarantee of safety. Nothing replaces talking to your child, knowing their routine and the people around them.
Figures shown as — depend on the device and plan you choose and are not fixed on this page. Device and subscription prices in TZS are on the tracker pricing page, not restated here. No number here is invented.
Frequently asked questions
How do I track my child's location?
Your child carries a GPS device — a watch, a mini tracker or a phone — and you draw safe zones around home and school. The safe_zone_exit rule tells you when they arrive and leave, and you can view live location with the family circle when it helps.
What is a safe zone alert?
A safe zone is a circle you draw on the map. When your child enters or leaves it, you get a plain message — arrived at school, left home. It is meant to reassure you day to day and tell you early if something is out of the ordinary.
Does the SOS button call the police?
No. When your child presses SOS, it alerts your family circle with their location so the people close to them can act. Trakora assists recovery — it is not a substitute for the police or emergency services, which you should still contact directly in an emergency.
Who can see my child's location?
Only the family circle you set up — the guardians you add on purpose. Location is not shared with anyone outside that circle and is not sold. How consent and data handling work is explained in full on the privacy page.
How much does a child tracker cost in Tanzania?
The price depends on the device and the subscription you choose, so it is not fixed on this page. Device and plan prices in TZS are listed on the tracker pricing page, and we will help you pick what suits your child when you get in touch.
Is it right to track my child at all?
That is your decision, and it works best made with your child rather than around them. We designed this as a consented family tool, not covert surveillance. The privacy page walks through how to track a family member without crossing a line.
