Mara Group

Mara is a young and dynamic pan-African investment group with operations in technology, financial services, renewable energy and real estate sectors. Mara's first company was founded in 1996. Mara's growth has been driven by selectively partnering with multinationals and individuals with subject expertise dedicated to expanding in Africa– thus combining global best practice with Mara's local knowledge and operational expertise. Mara has an African heritage dating back to the late 19th century. With roots in East Africa, Mara has expanded across the continent into a wide variety of sectors. Its legacy investments, however, are still very much a part of its DNA.
