Frequently asked questions

What makes Kyakabi Cargo different from other logistics companies?

We combine cutting-edge technology from our IT heritage with deep regional expertise. Unlike traditional providers, we offer real-time digital tracking across all services and specialize in high-demand East African corridors (Uganda, DRC, South Sudan) with tech-enabled solutions for every supply chain need.

Which cross-border routes do you specialize in?

We're experts in the Northern and Central Corridors, managing cargo from Mombasa and Dar es Salaam ports through Uganda into the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Sudan. We handle all customs clearance, security protocols, and documentation for these complex border crossings.

Do you handle temperature-sensitive shipments?

Yes. Our specialized Agri-Logistics division provides end-to-end cold chain solutions with refrigerated "Reefer" transport and temperature-controlled storage. We maintain an unbroken cold chain for perishables like fish, flowers, and fresh produce destined for export markets.

What technology do you use for shipment tracking?

We provide real-time GPS tracking for all shipments via our digital platform. For cold chain goods, we use IoT temperature sensors, and for cross-border transit, we offer real-time monitoring. Our system integrates with URA ASYCUDA World for seamless customs clearance.

Can you help small businesses with international shipping?

Absolutely. Our LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidation service groups smaller shipments into shared containers, making international trade affordable for SMEs. We also handle all documentation, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery to your doorstep.

What is bonded warehousing and how can it benefit my business?

Bonded warehousing allows you to store imported goods in our secure, government-supervised facilities in Kampala without paying taxes until the goods enter the local market. This improves cash flow and provides strategic storage for electronics, vehicles, and other high-value imports.

Do you offer e-commerce fulfillment services?

Yes. Our last-mile delivery network includes van and motorcycle (boda-boda) fleets with real-time tracking. We handle Cash-on-Delivery (CoD) transactions and provide reverse logistics for returns essential for modern e-commerce operations in urban centers like Kampala and Entebbe.
