Discover how we've helped families, professionals, and retirees make Kenya their new home
Featured Success Story
The Johnson Family
The Challenge
Sarah and Mark Johnson needed to relocate their tech startup from San Francisco to Nairobi while managing visa requirements for their team of 8 employees and ensuring their two children could continue their education seamlessly.
Our Solution
We handled work permits for the entire team, found them a 4-bedroom family home in Karen, enrolled their children at the International School of Kenya, and provided cultural orientation for the whole family.
"KenyaGate didn't just handle our move - they made Kenya feel like home from day one. Our kids adapted quickly thanks to their school selection expertise, and the cultural orientation helped us build meaningful relationships in the local tech community."
