I am moving to Kenya in august to wondered if anyone had any advice or if there are any people that have moved and wished they had packed certain luxuries that you can't get in kenya? Also i need to transport freight and i was wondering if anyone could advise me how best to do this ie suitcases/boxes etc
Thank you

Hi, we are also planning on moving to Kenya in August. My wife has moved many times abroad and it all depends on what allowance your company gives you for moving. We're hopefully using a 20' container but it will take about 6 weeks to arrive so we have to balance between going without our stuff in England or wait longer in Kenya. Good luck

movving to Kenya...........
After some time I realized that there is nothing I cannot get in Kenya. Buy local and support the economic development in Kenya.

Hello,
Karibu Kenya...
The only thing you need to bring is yourself. Everything else is here. You can stay in a furnished apartment while you source for what you call luxuries.
Regards.

We moved to Kenya in 2006 and there was quite a few things we couldn't get. Now in 2011 it's much easier to find stuff. The challenge is finding certain foods if your taste runs on the exotic side. It's good to have a care provider at home to ship stuff when absolutely needed. The other thing is, if you see something on the shelves that you like but haven't seen before, buy it and buy a lot of it. Examples, Jiffy Peanut Butter was rare when we were there. Tiger Beer as an alternative to Tusker too. If you have anything you're particularly concerned about, PM me and i'll respond. Oh and prescription drugs are available but expensive.

Hi,
What luxuries were you looking for?
I was surprised to find brands that I did not expect when I moved back from UK. There is even Faith in Nature here and other organic brands that I normally use and what is surprising is the prices are similar to those in the UK. I suggest you list brands/luxuries that you cannot do without and ask your kenyan friends/contacts or on this site where you can locate these before you leave. That way you can cross out what is available and carry what isn't. Furthermore some UK high street shops like M&S, ship to Kenya for £25, see their website for further details.

Hello! We are planning to move to Nbi and would love to hear your experience on how the freight shipping works? Do you pay duty?
Thanks!
