Mastering African Logistics
Logistics in Africa presents a unique set of challenges. Poor infrastructure in certain corridors, complex border crossings, and opaque customs regulations can lead to severe delays and ballooning costs. For businesses trying to scale, an unreliable supply chain is the single biggest threat to profitability.
DAS Direct Logistics was built to solve these exact problems. As a dedicated division of Duara Group, we don't just move boxes; we engineer robust supply chain solutions. By leveraging our established relationships with port authorities, customs officials, and a network of reliable transporters, we guarantee that your cargo arrives safely, on time, and within budget, whether it's navigating the busy port of Mombasa or crossing landlocked borders into Rwanda.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle cross-border delays?
Delays at African borders are often caused by paperwork discrepancies. By acting as your customs broker, we pre-clear documents digitally before the truck arrives at the border. We also utilize GPS tracking to monitor truck idle times and intervene immediately if a holdup occurs.
Do you provide cargo insurance?
Yes. Given the inherent risks of long-haul transport, we strongly advise all clients to insure their shipments. We facilitate comprehensive "All Risk" marine and inland transit insurance to protect your cargo from port to final destination.
Can you consolidate cargo for smaller businesses?
Absolutely. Our LCL (Less than Container Load) and groupage services allow smaller exporters and importers to share container space, significantly reducing shipping costs without compromising on transit times.
