KLEBER GROUP opens office in Luanda, expanding Africa presence

Following its Cape Town office in South Africa, the new Angolan office strengthens KLEBER GROUP’s footprint across Africa

 


 

Zurich/Luanda, 29 April 2026 – KLEBER GROUP continues to expand its international footprint in Africa with the opening of a new office in Luanda, Angola. Following its successful market entry in South Africa in 2025 with its Cape Town office, the internationally active marketing and communications consultancy for travel, tourism, lifestyle and luxury is now extending its presence into Central Africa.

In addition to its core expertise in PR and communications, as well as MICE, trade relations, destination development and hospitality, KLEBER GROUP’s key strengths lie in investor relations, branded residences, and wellness and longevity – areas that are becoming increasingly relevant within the global tourism and hospitality landscape.

The expansion reflects KLEBER GROUP’s long-term role as the global representation partner for the destination Angola, successfully established over a year ago. Since then, KLEBER GROUP has been actively supporting the country’s international positioning and tourism development. Establishing a presence in Luanda marks the next strategic step to further strengthen on-the-ground engagement and deepen impact in a region of growing strategic importance for global tourism, investment and cross-border cooperation.

The Angolan office will be led by Margarida Gorjão-Henriques, Director Angola KLEBER GROUP. In her role, she will support Angola’s positioning on the global MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) landscape, driving strategic marketing, international visibility and partnership development. She brings extensive experience across hospitality, DMC (Destination Management Companies), MICE and events, as well as strategic marketing. Her expertise spans new business development, stakeholder engagement, project positioning, and commercial growth. In Angola, she has played a key role in shaping the strategic marketing and positioning of Dubai Investment Park (DIP) Angola, increasing its visibility and strengthening its investor appeal within a broader development context.

“Africa has long moved beyond being considered an emerging market and is today a dynamic growth region with significant potential for sustainable tourism development and international investment. By expanding our on-the-ground presence, we are creating the foundation to support our partners across both the public and private sectors more effectively, combining global visibility with local relevance,” says Julia Kleber, CEO KLEBER GROUP.

The existing office in Cape Town remains a key pillar of the company’s Africa strategy. Led by Lexi Hall, Director Africa KLEBER GROUP, she will continue to focus on new business development and market expansion across the African continent. Parallel to that, the KLEBER GROUP team in Cape Town is expanding with Sunny Tembani joining as Senior PR Consultant. She will serve as PR Lead on site, overseeing communications and media relations across Southern Africa. With experience spanning corporate and stakeholder communications, hospitality PR, Non-Profit Organization (NPO) brand strategy and luxury travel, Sunny Tembani brings both strategic expertise and hands-on execution, complemented by a strong track record in managing high-profile commercial relationships in South Africa.

KLEBER GROUP is recognised for its decades-long engagement in Africa through advocacy initiatives such as Voice4Africa, founded by the company, as well as its active involvement in investment platforms such as ReThinking Africa, alongside a strong track record in developing international client mandates across the continent. Through these initiatives and partnerships, KLEBER GROUP has consistently contributed to the international positioning of African destinations and topics – shaping new narratives, unlocking investment potential, and strengthening the continent’s role as a key player in the global tourism discourse.
