Umba takes organisations from pen and paper to modern, secure and resilient IT.

Our story

Umba/ˈuːm.ba/Swahili, verbto create · to shape · to build

True to its name, Umba exists to build. We are a technology services firm dedicated exclusively to the African market — and we understand the infrastructure constraints, regulatory landscapes, and growth ambitions of enterprises across the continent. We don't adapt solutions built elsewhere. We engineer them here.

The best technology for Africa should be built in Africa, by those who truly understand the landscape.
