  3. Confirm with a deposit

What movers say

Reviews from home moves, office relocations and long-distance jobs across Kenya.

★★★★★
The price on the quote was the price I paid. The crew had my sofa wrapped before I finished my tea, and nothing arrived scratched.
Wanjiru K. · 2-bedroom home move, Kilimani to Ruaka
★★★★★
They moved us on a Saturday and our team was billing clients by 9 a.m. Monday. The labelled crates meant nobody lost a day hunting for files.
Otieno M. · 12-desk office relocation, Westlands to Upper Hill
★★★★★
I was quoted a single number for the whole Kisumu move before anyone touched a box. The truck arrived when they said it would.
Achieng N. · 3-bedroom long-distance move, Nairobi to Kisumu
★★★★★
Ksh 9,500 all in for a bedsitter to Kiambu — I had been quoted double elsewhere. One pickup, two movers, done in under three hours.
Mwangi D. · Bedsitter move, Kahawa Sukari to Kiambu town
★★★★☆
Third floor, no lift. I told them on the form and they priced it in — no awkward conversation on moving day. That's how it should work.
Nyambura S. · 1-bedroom home move, Kileleshwa to Syokimau
★★★★★
Loaded by 8, in Nakuru by 4. Same crew offloaded and put the beds back together. My kids slept in their own beds that night.
Kiprop E. · 2-bedroom long-distance move, Nairobi to Nakuru
★★★★★
I added packing to my quote — they came the day before with boxes and wrap and did the whole kitchen. Worth every shilling.
Wafula J. · Packing service, Donholm, Nairobi
★★★★☆
They dismantled my bed and wardrobe, moved them, and rebuilt everything level. The screws were even bagged and taped to the frame.
Atieno B. · Bedsitter + furniture assembly, Kasarani to Thika Road
★★★★★
Desks, chairs, two printers and the server cabinet — all moved over one weekend with a floor plan for where everything went.
Mutiso P. · 15-desk office relocation, Riverside Drive
★★★★★
I was nervous about the 480 km leg. Everything arrived sealed, the same evening, and they offloaded first thing next morning.
Chebet R. · 1-bedroom long-distance move, Nairobi to Mombasa
★★★★☆
Ran 40 minutes late because of Thika Road traffic, but they called ahead twice. Honest people, careful with my glass cabinet.
Omondi T. · 2-bedroom home move, Umoja to Buruburu
★★★★★
Five movers, a 5-tonne truck, and my piano treated like it was made of glass. The written quote meant zero surprises.
Wambui G. · 4-bedroom home move, Lavington, Nairobi
★★★★★
Our server rack and 20 workstations were photographed, packed in padded crates and reconnected at the new office. Nothing was lost.
Karimi L. · IT equipment move, Upper Hill
★★★★★
I registered my 3-tonne truck in March. Documents were checked once, and I've had steady dispatches on the Nairobi–Nakuru route since.

Quick answers

How is the price of a move calculated?

Every move is a base fare plus a distance charge of Ksh 100 per km outside Nairobi. A bedsitter within Nairobi is Ksh 8,000 flat; a bedsitter to Nakuru (160 km) is Ksh 8,000 plus Ksh 16,000. Nairobi-to-Nairobi moves carry no distance charge. The final figure is confirmed after we check your inventory and access.

What does the base fare include?

The vehicle, fuel, driver and a standard mover crew, plus loading, transport and offloading. Packing materials, extra crew, furniture disassembly, IT setup, parking fees and waiting time are extras unless stated on your written quote.

How do I book a move?

Use the estimator to get your price, then send the booking form with your addresses, floors, lift access and move date. We reply with a written quote and reference number, and the move is confirmed once the deposit is paid.

How do I pay?

Payment is by M-Pesa. After your booking is reviewed we send the paybill or till number and the deposit amount, with your booking reference, to your phone.
