Our Story
Developing Sustainable Solutions for the rapidly growing market in Tanzania.
Growing up, I witnessed my mother tirelessly working to provide for our family and pay for my education and that of my younger brothers. Her dedication as a tailor inspired me to recognize the potential for value creation across emerging industries in Tanzania, which were among the lowest-paid professions in the country.
This inspiration ultimately led to the establishment of Kukaye Designs, a clothing manufacturing brand that traces its origins back to 2014 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Today, the company has evolved into a conglomerate with several arms based in Tanzania. I believe that committing to invest in youth training programs that promote a culture of excellence across our ventures will not only elevate the economy of Tanzania but also significantly alleviate poverty.

Kukaye also owns 2,000 acres of land in Njombe suitable for Arabica coffee farming, currently workers’ houses are being constructed, and we aim to begin planting next year, 2025.
Hotels, Resorts, Tours & Excursions
In order to enhance our agricultural endeavors and foster a connection through our offerings, clients have the opportunity to tour our farm and lodge at our accommodations to experience cashew tourism in Mtwara/Lindi or coffee tourism in Njombe. Furthermore, we have expanded our involvement in the thriving tourism industry in Zanzibar through our affiliate, Mawimbi. Here, patrons can indulge in boat excursions with our premium fleet or reside at our upcoming hotel in Michamvi.
Gold, Copper & Lithium Mining and Proccessing
As of 2024, Kukaye has acquired several mining rights and licenses and aims to begin actual mining for gold, copper, and lithium by 2025. Currently, we have conducted geological survey and are waiting to start mining in 2027. We are also conducting agreements with local communities, mining associations, and the government to facilitate the mining process. Mined rough materials will be processed in our established plants to ensure the highest quality, and after processing, they will be exported to international markets.
Processing Plants and Industries
Kukaye is currently investing in establishing processing facilities that will process cashews in Mtwara and coffee in Njombe. By 2025, the cashew processing facility should be ready, mostly for exports to international markets. The next facility will be coffee in 2027 and afterwards the byproducts of cashews like liquor and cashew apple juice.
