Example brief
What they sell

Africa is one of their flagship regions. Their featured gorilla itineraries currently route via Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park at a premium price point.

Your hook

They route most gorilla treks via Rwanda — your Bwindi 4-day comes in materially cheaper per traveller, and they can pass that saving to clients. Duma names the decision-maker it found on the live site.

Don'ts

They say 'tailor-made' everywhere — avoid the word 'package'. Don't pitch group departures; they sell private.

US, UK & German agencies we estimate already sell East Africa
Sound familiar?

You can run a world-class safari. But you're spending 30% of your time looking for the right US and UK agents to sell to.

Most Ugandan operators do this the hard way. You search LinkedIn until your hands cramp, paying $99/month for Sales Navigator. You message agents who've moved companies. You get ghosted because your email landed in spam — or because your pitch sounded like every other operator's.

By our own estimate, there are roughly 2,400 US, UK, and German travel agencies that already sell East Africa. You don't need 100,000 random contacts. You need the right 2,400 — with verified emails, decision-maker names, and the context that lets you walk in already knowing what they sell.

That's what Karibu does. Nothing else.

Inside Karibu

How you go from blank inbox to booked meetings in 14 days

  1. 1
    Describe your ideal buyer and set a goal.
    2 minutes

    Tell Duma, your AI sales agent, which travel agents you want — countries, trip types, agency size — and what a win looks like. That becomes the goal Duma works toward.

  2. 2
    Duma delivers a few verified, researched agents every day.
    Done for you

    Each contact is discovered from public business sources, email-validated, and arrives with a researched intel brief: what they sell, who decides, which hooks land. Every claim cites a live source.

  3. 3
    Duma drafts outreach in your voice; you approve.
    90 seconds per email

    Duma writes each email from the intel brief + your company’s voice samples + your case studies. Review, edit if you like, approve — Duma handles the sending and follow-ups.

  4. 4
    Replies come back classified, with responses ready.
    Always on

    The moment an agent replies, the sequence pauses. Duma classifies the reply and hands you a suggested response — you approve, meetings get booked, and your pipeline updates automatically.

A founding cohort of Ugandan operators is building their outbound on Karibu.

We're early, and we'd rather be honest than inflate. We publish full named case studies the moment customers say yes — and the meeting and reply-rate figures on this page are illustrative targets of what good outreach looks like, not averaged results we're claiming on anyone's behalf.

Questions you're probably asking

Is this scraped data? Will I get spam complaints?

We discover contacts automatically from public business sources where the information is already published — and then we validate every email (syntax, mail server, and disposable/role-account checks) before it reaches you, so you’re not sending into dead or junk addresses. Sending is capped per mailbox and your sending reputation is monitored continuously, with sends paused if anything looks off. You can mark any contact "stop contacting" and we honor opt-outs within 24 hours.

Will my emails land in spam?

We’ve engineered Karibu so they don’t. You send from your own Gmail (via OAuth) using sequences capped at 30/day per mailbox. We monitor your sending reputation continuously and pause sends if anything goes wrong. Your domain stays clean.

I’m not a writer. Will the AI emails actually sound like me?

Yes. During onboarding, you paste 3 sample emails you’ve sent that worked. Karibu uses those as voice samples. Every draft sounds like you — and you can edit before sending.

Do US/UK agents actually respond to cold outreach from East Africa?

Yes — when the pitch is specific and the data is good. As an illustration of what well-targeted outreach can look like, a focused 90-day sprint might aim for ~47 meetings at a ~14% reply rate (these are example targets, not averaged customer results). The key is the intel brief: you know what to say before you say it.

How long until I see real bookings?

First meetings: 14-30 days. First booking: 60-120 days. This is B2B sales, not Facebook ads. We tell you the truth.

What happens after the 14-day free trial?

No card is required to start, so nothing is auto-charged on day 14. When you decide to continue, you actively pick the tier that fits — Starter (UGX 380k / $99), Growth (UGX 956k / $249), or Scale (UGX 2.3M / $599) — and choose how to pay. All three are available to every customer; we have no founding-member cap or lock-in. If you do nothing, the trial simply ends — you are never billed without choosing a plan first.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly subscriptions cancel any time, take effect at period end. Annual prepay is non-refundable but if you cancel within the first 30 days of your annual we refund pro-rata.

What if I’m not in Uganda?

Karibu works for any African tour operator selling to US/UK/EU agents. We accept payments from UG, KE, TZ, RW, ZA, NG, GH, and most African countries via Pesapal and Flutterwave. We’re Uganda-primary because that’s where our team is and where we have the deepest relationships — but the platform serves the continent.

Who’s behind Karibu?

Founded in Kampala, 2026. We built Karibu because we watched dozens of incredible Ugandan operators struggle to reach the US/UK agents who would happily sell their trips — agents who couldn’t find them either. We’re fixing that.

Your 25 free contacts are 30 seconds away.

No credit card. No 30-day trial trap. Just sign up, answer 5 questions, and we'll have your first contacts in your inbox within 24 hours.
