The Chipata Story

Our story begins in 1994 with our founding Director beginning the Tanzanian chapter of his entrepreneurial journey. this now spans almost three decades, carried forward in the same spirit through his two sons.

Our humble beginnings are of a husband and wife running a business in the importation of cassettes, VHS and eventually CDs which transformed in to a giant in the importation and wholesale of used clothing, textiles and shoes by providing top quality garment at unmatchable price.

Our focus has since evolved towards the Hospitality sector and further expanding in to the legal sector, real estate and property development, consultancy, logistics & transport and now insurance, agriculture and more.

The “more” is found in awesome customer service and experiences. Our goal is to inspire the world that it is possible to link top quality with affordability with a benefit to the community and all stakeholders in a long term, sustainable way.

Being a Responsible Company

It has always been important to us to build a strong, enduring company that believes in the balance between profitability and a social responsibility. This is achieved by;

  • Supporting the local arts and music by connecting artists to audiences.
  • Providing the surrounding community and orphanages with long term, sustainable support.
  • Providing high level yet affordable legal advice & services to all levels of clientele.
  • Create and offer high quality affordable housing to the lower middle-income sector.
  • Create micro insurance products in a unique way to benefit both parties for long term growth.
  • Foster relationships with farmers to sustain a thriving livelihood for them and their families.
