For over a decade, Kilifi has been ranked among the best residential destinations not only in Kenya but globally. The coastal strip has some of the best residential estates including Vipingo Ridge, Bofu, Watamu and Kilifi county luxury homes.
Why move to Kilifi?
Kilifi is a very peaceful place with nice sandy Watamu beaches and a beautiful sunset view observed from the mooring floating restaurants in Mtwapa. It also houses some of the best international schools in Kenya including Bridge International School which makes it a good place for a family to settle down
With the completion of the Northern bypass linking Nairobi – Mombasa road with Mombasa – Malindi road at Kwa Kadzego in Mtwapa, going to Kilifi is no longer a challenge with traffic and the distance is shorter since you don’t have to pass through Mombasa town.
The county of Kilifi hosts historical sites as well as recreational facilities including:
- Malindi Marine National Park
- Watamu Marine National Park – the park houses turtles and colourful birds.
- Arabuko Sokoke Forest Reserve which harbours elephants and more than 200 species of birds
- The Gede Ruins are the remains of an ancient town.
- Vasco Da Gama Pillar – this is perhaps the most prominent physical reminder of the Portuguese influence in Kenya.
Preparing to move to Kilifi from Nairobi
- The first important step is to close down on the house into which you will be moving. This should be guided by accessibility to your place of work, school for the kids, good health care facility and shopping area, among other factors.
- Choose the movers to use and contact them. They will guide you on the moving process and requirements for moving to Kilifi. They will also advise you on the items you are required to pack prior to the move day.
- Start decluttering room by room and organise what will be moving.
- Closer to the moving day, firm up the moving dates with your movers. Clear with management on both locations.
- Confirm whether the destination house is fully ready for occupation and notify the utility providers including internet providers, and electricity and water services.
The process of moving from Nairobi to Kilifi
The move will take 2 – 3 days. Here is how the entire process will be carried out.
On Moving Day
On the move day:
- Notify the guards to be ready for a moving truck and organise for packing.
- Be present during the move day to receive and guide the movers. Make Sure that all contractors are not present to ease the moving process.
- If you have kids in the house, make arrangements for the young ones’ accommodations.
