Best Time to Move in Nairobi 2026 — When to Book Your Move
Choosing the right time to move in Nairobi can save you money, reduce stress, and secure the best movers. Here’s what you need to know.
Best Day of the Week to Move
Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday are the best days. Demand is lowest, crews are most available, and you may get a better rate. Weekends — especially Saturday — are the most expensive and hardest to book.
Best Time of Month to Move
Mid-month (10th–20th) is ideal. Avoid the last week and first week of the month — these are peak times when leases expire and demand surges by up to 40%.
Best Season to Move in Nairobi
Avoid moving during the long rains (March–May) and short rains (October–November) if possible — rain slows moves and can damage furniture. Dry months (January–February and June–September) are ideal.

Sometimes you don’t get to choose the timing. Bestcare Movers handles last-minute and emergency moves 7 days a week — just call 0709 004 600 and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
