Typical Timelines

  • Nairobi ↔ Mombasa: 1–2 days

  • Nairobi ↔ Eldoret/Nakuru: 1 day

Important Preparations

  • Full-value replacement insurance is strongly recommended.
  • Use heavy-duty crates for long hauls over rough sections.
  • Secure furniture with straps/ratchets — potholes are common.
  • Track truck via GPS if your mover offers it.
  • Plan for overnight stops on very long routes.
