Nairobi to Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret and every county
KejaPal are long distance movers in Kenya who carry homes and offices from Nairobi to every county, and from any town back to Nairobi. We pack for the road, drive with a trained crew and deliver on the agreed day.
A move across the country is not just a longer city move. The load sits in a truck for eight, twelve or more hours. It climbs the escarpment, crosses speed bumps and rides rough patches near small towns. So a box that survives a trip from Kilimani to Lavington can break on the way to Kisumu.
We pack, load and drive with that in mind. This page explains how a long distance move works, what it costs and how to plan the days on both ends.
Transport
Every trip follows the same basic plan. However, the timing changes with the distance and the size of the load.
For most towns within 400 km of Nairobi, we load in the morning and deliver the same evening or the next morning. Longer trips, such as Nairobi to Mombasa or Nairobi to Kakamega, usually take two days from start to finish.
Transport
We drive to every county, but some routes come up every week. Here are the most common ones, with typical road times for a loaded truck.
| Route | Distance (approx.) | Driving time | Usual plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nairobi to Nakuru | 160 km | 3 to 4 hours | Same-day delivery |
| Nairobi to Nyeri | 150 km | 3 to 4 hours | Same-day delivery |
| Nairobi to Eldoret | 310 km | 6 to 7 hours | Same day or next morning |
| Nairobi to Kisumu | 350 km | 7 to 8 hours | Next-morning delivery |
| Nairobi to Mombasa | 480 km | 9 to 11 hours | Next-morning delivery |
Road works, weather and traffic near towns can change these times. You can check major road works on the Kenya National Highways Authority website before your move. Also, see our town guides for Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret and Nakuru.
Common problems
Not every long move needs a whole truck. So, as long distance movers in Kenya, we offer three options.
Students, single movers and people sending furniture to family often choose a part load or shared trip. On the other hand, families and offices nearly always take a full load.
Costs and pricing
Price depends mainly on the size of the load, the distance and the packing work. Fuel, tolls, the crew's meals and their trip back to Nairobi are part of the cost too.
Part loads and shared trips usually reduce the cost. In contrast, very high floors, long carries and storage between dates add to it. We agree the final price with you after assessing the load. Our moving cost guide explains the main factors.
Packing
Road vibration loosens tape, rubs wood and shifts boxes. That is why our long distance movers in Kenya pack differently for upcountry and coast trips.
If you prefer to pack yourself, we can still help. For example, we can pack only the kitchen and the fragile items, or supply proper boxes and packing materials for the rest.
Long-Distance Moves
Some things are unsafe or illegal to carry in a closed truck for many hours. Like other careful long distance movers in Kenya, we leave these out of the load:
We tell you about these items during the survey, so there are no surprises on moving day. Long distance moving in Kenya is also safer when you share a list of any high-value items before we load.
Transport
We also move people the other way. A new job, a transfer or university often brings families from Kisumu, Kakamega, Meru or the coast into the city. In that case, we send a crew and truck to your town, load there and deliver to your new Nairobi home.
Many new Nairobi apartments have strict moving hours. So we plan the drive to arrive when the building allows moves, often in the morning. Read our apartment moving guide for tips on caretakers and lifts.
How it works
A long move needs a plan for two homes, not one. Here are the points we check with every customer:
Long moves go wrong when nobody owns the whole trip. One company packs, another drives and a third unloads, so problems fall between them. With us, one crew lead runs the job from the first box in Nairobi to the last bed rebuilt upcountry. As a result, you always know who to call and where your things are.
Ready to plan your trip? Send us both addresses and your dates, and our long distance movers in Kenya will confirm the plan and price in writing.
We do not publish fixed prices for long distance movers in Kenya, because every job is different. Instead, we assess what you are moving, access at both ends and your date, then send a written quote. After that, we discuss it with you and agree the final price before the day. As a result, the price you agree for long distance movers in Kenya is based on your real move, and it only changes if the job changes. In addition, you can ask us to adjust the scope at any point before the day.

It depends on the size of the move, the distance, access such as stairs and lifts, and any packing or special items. We assess the job by survey or video call, then agree the final price with you in a written quote.
Most moves to towns within 400 km of Nairobi take one day. Longer routes such as Nairobi to Mombasa usually take two days: packing and loading on day one, delivery on day two.
Yes. Our shared trips carry a few items, such as a fridge, a bed and some boxes, on a truck already heading to your town. It is cheaper than booking a full truck.
Yes. A driver and at least one crew member travel with every full load. The crew lead keeps you updated during the trip.
Yes. We send a crew to your town, load your home there and deliver to your new Nairobi address on the agreed day.
