The UMNGANE Experience

Our story

The founding of UMNGANE was a natural progression from years of planning group trips for friends and family. Our founder found just as much joy in the meticulous planning of a vacation for her loved ones as she did in going on the vacation herself. So naturally, she wanted to expand what she did for her friends to a different friend group of sorts.

UMNGANE strives to make group travel an enjoyable experience and demystify cruising as a group. We work to eliminate the complications of coordinating for large travel groups. It is our desire for you to focus on relaxation and fellowship.

We hope to expand our client’s understanding of how simple, innovative, and dynamic group travel on a cruise can be. We will work with you to design the perfect trip to meet your needs.

What does UMNGANE Mean?

Umngani (Umngane being the Zulu spelling) means friend in siSwati, a beautiful language spoken by the people of the Kingdom of eSwatini. A place our founder called home for some time. It is a promise that we will strive to dedicate the same level of attention and care to your group as we would our own loved ones.

The emaSwati are kind and hospitable people, so UMNGANE also serves as a reminder to exhibit the same level of kindness and hospitality to others we meet on our travels.
