Shipping From Australia to Kenya, Door to Door
Send boxes, furniture, appliances and vehicles from anywhere in Australia to Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru and towns across Kenya. Sea cargo leaves Perth every month for Mombasa, air cargo goes when it cannot wait, and our team clears it and takes it to the consignee’s address.
Cargo to Kenya From Perth by Sea or Air
Most cargo to Kenya goes by sea. It is the cheapest way to send anything heavy or bulky, and it suits everything from a single box to a full container.
Your goods are consolidated at our Canning Vale depot, leave Fremantle on the monthly sailing and arrive at Mombasa, where our team clears them before delivery. Air freight is booked when you need it, for urgent or perishable goods, and is priced on weight and size.
Door-to-door estimates, counted from the day your cargo leaves Perth. Sailings are monthly, so allow for the wait until the next one. Customs clearance, port congestion and public holidays can add time. More on sea freight from Perth.
Door-to-Door Delivery to Nairobi and Towns Across Kenya
Your cargo does not stop at the port. Once it is cleared in Mombasa, we deliver it to the address you give us, wherever the consignee lives.
Customs is handled by our team at both ends. We prepare the Australian export paperwork, clear your goods in Kenya and tell you before delivery if any duties or taxes apply. See how customs clearance and door-to-door delivery work.
