Our Footprint in UX Research in Africa is Extensive

Our company values are Transparency, Integrity, Authenticity, Curiosity, Empathy, Creativity, Volunteering and Lifelong Learning.

We believe in knowledge-sharing and empowering our local partners to deliver research that matters and that digs deeper, we are involved throughout the process supporting, training and building the teams to deliver great work.

To delve deeply into the understanding we need to create an environment of safety and inclusion, we, therefore, pay special attention to training moderators with the same ethnicity and background as well as ensuring that we separate observers and clients from our participants as biasing happens very easily. Culture in Africa is complex and layered.

We help businesses cater for diversity and inclusion!

“Mantaray Africa is committed to being a force for good by ensuring we help businesses create culturally inclusive and relevant services for the market.”

Mantaray Africa became a Certified B Corporation in 2023. B Corps are a new type of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. We are proud to be part of a movement that uses business as a force for good.
