Built in East Africa, for East Africa — and the world
KwaWingu was born in Arusha, Tanzania. We understand the unique challenges of operating tours in East Africa: mobile money payments, park permit systems, seasonal roads, and the blend of OTA and direct business.
The challenges you face
Mobile money integration
Mobile money platforms like M-Pesa, Airtel Money, and Tigo Pesa are essential for local payments but rarely supported by global software.
Connectivity challenges
Intermittent internet in the field means your system needs to work offline and sync when connected.
Multi-currency operations
Pricing in USD for international guests, paying suppliers in TZS/KES — currency management is daily work.
How KwaWingu solves this
Mobile money via Tembo
Native mobile money integration (M-Pesa, Airtel Money, Tigo Pesa) for collecting payments and paying suppliers — powered by Tembo.
Offline-capable mobile app
Guides can access manifests and guest lists even without internet — syncs when back online.
Multi-currency built in
Price in any currency, pay in any currency. Automatic conversion at booking time.
