Specialised cargo

Air cargo for the shipments that cannot go wrong.

Beyond everyday parcels, Wakah moves sensitive, regulated and high-value cargo from Uganda to South Africa. Each category has its own rules, documents and carrier approvals. We manage them, so you do not have to.

Cold chain

Perishables & temperature-critical

One warm hour can lose the whole shipment. We keep the cold chain unbroken from the packhouse in Uganda to South Africa.

  • Foodstuffs. Fresh produce, meat and cut flowers moved on tight schedules.
  • Wet cargo. Fresh seafood, shellfish and salted hides, sealed in leak-proof containers.
Ask about cold chain
Dangerous goods

Dangerous goods & heavily restricted

Altitude, pressure and static change how some items behave. Done right, they ship safely. Done wrong, they are refused.

  • Dry ice. Standard coolant for medical supplies and vaccines.
  • Lithium batteries. Loose or inside equipment, with strict weight and packaging limits.
  • Radioactive material. Medical isotopes and industrial measuring equipment.
Ask about dangerous goods
Living cargo

Live animals & bio material

Some cargo breathes. Some cargo saves a life. Neither can wait on a delay.

  • Human organs & bio material (PECM / LHO). Organs, bone marrow and blood plasma for immediate transplant, top priority from pickup to handover.
  • Live animals (AVI). Pets, livestock, zoo animals and day-old chicks with suitable crates, permits and health papers.
Ask about live cargo
High-value

High-value & vulnerable cargo

Too valuable, or too tempting, for a standard cargo shed. These shipments are secured at every step.

  • Valuable cargo (VAL). High value per kilogram — bullion, banknotes, diamonds, rare jewellery.
  • Vulnerable cargo (VUN). Luxury watches, high-end electronics and designer fashion.
Ask about high-value cargo
Repatriation

Human remains transport (HUM)

Bringing a loved one home is never routine. We handle every step with dignity, discretion and speed. Remains are hermetically sealed, documented and moved as top priority from pickup to handover. Cremated remains may travel as a tightly sealed, shatterproof urn.

Need to act quickly? Call us at any hour. We confirm the requirements for South Africa and coordinate the whole journey.
