Practical tips for Moving in Nairobi
- Time your move: Start early to avoid morning traffic, or move midday to miss rush hours. Weekdays often allow smoother access in some estates.
- Elevator logistics: Reserve lift access or secure moving time windows with your building manager in advance.
- Parking and permits: narrow roads? Pre-arrange parking and alert guards to expect the truck.
- Weather watch: Nairobi rains can be sudden-use plastic covers and stagger loading to protect furniture.
- Children and pets: Arrange supervision or a quiet room away from the packing/loading area for safety.
- Utilities and Wi-Fi: Schedule internet transfer or installation ahead of move-in for minimal downtime.
- Insurance and valuables: Ask about coverage for high-value items and keep essential documents with you.
