Home/About us

A business built on
people and purpose.

Tribema Group began with a simple belief: that building good businesses and doing good for communities are not opposing goals - they are the same thing.

Who we are

The Tribema story

Tribema Group was born from a recognition that Kenya's growth story is being written not just in boardrooms, but in the farms, kitchens, and guesthouses of everyday Kenyans.

The name Tribema reflects our founding conviction: that commerce works best when it is rooted in community.

Today, Tribema Group operates three distinct but complementary businesses spanning hospitality, food production, and agribusiness.

We source locally, hire locally, and reinvest locally because the strength of a business is inseparable from the health of its community.

“A tribe of people sharing a common purpose creates something no single person can build alone.
