Samba

## What is Samba?

Samba is a booking and payment platform built for tour operators — day tours, multi-day operators, group trip organizers, and DMCs running complex itineraries. Running trips is more like running a layered logistics operation than selling a ticket. There are deposits to collect, installment plans to track, suppliers to pay before travelers have paid you, and international transfers that eat your margin. Most booking platforms were designed for a simpler world: one tour, one payment, one email. That is not how real operations work. Samba was built for that complexity. Website widgets, bookings, and payment plans live in one place and stay connected. Travelers pay by card and the money lands in the operator's account. Reminders go out automatically. The operator stops being the integration layer.
