M Group Africa: building enduring enterprise across Africa

Ten companies across natural resources, energy, logistics, mobility, hospitality, media and consultancy, all held to one standard of excellence.

The Group

Rooted in Tanzania. Built for the continent.

“We build businesses that Africa relies on, and we build them to last.”

M Group Africa is a family of businesses serving the essentials of a growing economy: the minerals that create wealth, the energy that powers homes and industry, the logistics and vehicles that move goods and people, and the hospitality, travel and media services that connect them.

Each company runs with its own focus and expertise, and the group gives all of them the same foundations: disciplined governance, patient capital, and a firm commitment to the communities where we operate.

Headquartered in Dar es Salaam, we are building an integrated platform where our businesses strengthen one another. Energy supports mobility, logistics supports trade, and hospitality supports travel, so the whole group is more resilient than any single company.
