02 The Karibu platform

Our own technology, behind every event.Teknolojia yetu wenyewe.

We built the system we run your event on. That's why the invitations, the guest list, the door and the accounts all speak to each other, and why nothing falls through the gaps.

05 Why Karibu

Made in Zanzibar, to a world standard.Imetengenezwa Zanzibar.

We know how events really happen here: big families, two languages, venues with patchy signal, and guests who deserve to be greeted by name.

2 languages

Kiswahili and English, everywhere

Invitations, messages and guest pages in the language each family prefers, with Islamic and Christian traditions honoured properly.

0 bars needed

Works where the signal doesn't

Door check-in keeps running offline and catches up when the connection returns, so the queue never stops.

1 team

Every detail, accounted for

Planning, guests, the door and the money in one place, run by one team that answers your call.
