For multi-day tour operators
For trips that last days, not hours.
Treks, expeditions, safaris, sailing trips, retreats — big-ticket bookings paid over time, real departure calendars, and travelers whose passports you need long before they arrive.

Without Samba
The trip sold months ago — the chasing never stopped.
The deposit came by bank transfer, so a spreadsheet tracks who has paid what. The balance reminder is a note in a calendar. Passport scans sit somewhere in an inbox thread, the dietary list is three emails long, and the manifest gets typed up the night before departure.

Payments
A big price tag does not have to stop the booking
- Deposits and payment plans. Travelers commit with a deposit and pay the balance in instalments, collected automatically as departure approaches.
- Get paid without chasing. Automatic collection, retries, and a self-service portal — you stop emailing customers about overdue payments. Cancellation tiers and clean refunds keep long-lead bookings tidy.
- You own every payment. Travelers pay straight into your own Stripe account — Samba never holds your money or delays your payout. Vital when lodges, guides, and permits are paid months ahead.

Departures
A whole season of departures, set up once
- Departure calendars on autopilot. Generate a whole season of dates from one recurrence rule, with capacity, cutoffs, and minimum group sizes per trip.
- Bespoke and private trips. Accept request-to-book enquiries for custom dates. Samba spins up a private departure sized to that exact group.
- Capacity that manages itself. Trips sell out and re-open automatically, so a small-group expedition never oversells its 8 spots.

Manifests
Everything you need before day one
- Passports, diets, and emergency contacts, collected automatically after booking — no pre-trip spreadsheet scramble.
- Self-building manifests. See and print exactly who is coming, what they need, and who to call — ready for guides and suppliers, and including who is leading.
- Vehicles, boats, and gear as real capacity. Resources are attached to departures and cannot be double-allocated — the support van on this week’s departure cannot be promised to next week’s overlap.

Guides & route map
You sell the trip. Samba takes the deposit, collects the balance, gathers the passports, and hands your guide the manifest — so you can focus on the trip itself.
