In a market where reliable internet can be as elusive as gold, Aura Group, Zimbabwe’s sole authorized Starlink reseller, is turning the tide. With Starlink Business Packages now readily available and speeds hitting an eye-watering 280+ Mbps in some of the country’s most remote areas, the company is rewriting the playbook for internet connectivity in Zimbabwe.
Their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. Aura Group was recently crowned “ICT Industry Disruptor” at the Zimbabwe ICT Excellence Awards 2024, hosted by the Ministry of ICT, Postal and Courier Services. The accolade cements the company’s role as a trailblazer, leveraging Starlink’s low-Earth orbit satellite tech to fill the gaps where traditional ISPs fall short.
Starlink’s Disruptive Potential
Starlink has already shaken up internet markets globally with its ability to deliver high-speed internet in areas previously left in the digital dark. Aura Group is now harnessing that potential to target Zimbabwe’s enterprises and SMEs, offering business-class connectivity in a nation where infrastructure can be patchy at best. Take Nyamapanda and Guruve, for example. In these rural outposts, Aura Group has deployed Starlink systems that delivers up to 280 Mbps—a staggering feat for regions where dial-up speeds used to reign supreme. This kind of performance isn’t just about streaming Netflix in 4K; it’s about enabling life-changing applications like telemedicine, online education, and cloud-based business operations.
The Difference: Starlink Business Packages
Unlike the consumer-focused Starlink kits available elsewhere, Aura Group offers Starlink Business Packages tailored specifically for Zimbabwe’s high-demand industries. Here’s what they bring to the table:
- Unlimited Standard Data: Offers consistent high-speed internet for all your business activities throughout your subscription meaning you never run out of data.
- Priority Data: Guarantees optimal performance during peak network congestion, ensuring seamless operations even in high-demand scenarios.
For industries like healthcare, financial services, and corporate offices, where connectivity downtime can mean lost revenue or even lives, this distinction is critical. Think of it as the difference between a solid commuter car and a fully-loaded SUV for off-road adventures—it’s all about reliability when it counts most.

Making Starlink accessible isn’t just about selling kits; it’s about ensuring users can hit the ground running. Aura Group has built a nationwide network of agents in cities like Harare, Mutare, Bulawayo, and beyond, trained to provide on-the-ground support for installation and migration.
For those bringing in Starlink roaming kits from abroad, Aura Group has streamlined the legalization process with a US$150 transfer fee (excluding VAT). The best part? The entire process takes less than an hour, and customers can opt to amortize the fee starting at just $15 a month.
