Source-to-destination logistics, from Dar es Salaam to the world
Lafamiliah Cargo Freight Co. Ltd. is a private limited logistics house founded in 2017. We run air, ocean and road freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing and cargo handling so clients can keep their energy on the core of their business.
Integrated logistics, or a single service when that is all you need

Our approach
Multi-modal operations with a continuous flow of information
We embed a multi-modal approach so clients stay informed about every process. Logistics functions are integrated around the business forecast and Lafamiliah’s strategic objectives — turning logistics into a competitive advantage: lowest practical cost without dropping satisfaction.
Communicate and deal with clients honestly and with transparency
Stay receptive to concerns and needs, and anticipate them
Build staff capacity with technology
Strategic partnership
Experts in the same room
We form alliances with clients: licensed logisticians work with your process leads, the procurement team leads contracting, and planning extends to future transport, warehousing and bottlenecked capacity. Shippers and carriers share planning information so you spend less time tendering and more on supplier relationships. Continuous improvement (including TQM) is used to cut cost and inefficiency.
Long-term goals
A lasting professional relationship
Long-term goals concentrate on a cordial but professional relationship with clients, because they sit at the core of operations. Satisfaction is treated as paramount, and the partnership is built to last — not as a one-off booking.
