The Package

Arriving in Kenya is only the beginning. Life Setup and Settling In helps you organise the practical parts of your new life, understand local systems and establish a routine that works for you.

With personalised support and local knowledge, we help make the transition from simply arriving to genuinely settling in feel easier.

Moving Somewhere Is Different From Living There

You've arrived. You have somewhere to stay. But there can still be a long list of things that need figuring out.

  • How do you get reliable internet set up?

  • What are your transport options?

  • Where should you shop?

  • Which services do you need?

  • How do the everyday systems that people around you take for granted actually work?

When you're new to Kenya, or returning after many years abroad, these small practical questions can quickly become a significant mental load.

Practical Support for Building Your New Routine

We begin by understanding what you still need to put in place.

Rather than giving you generic information about living in Kenya, we focus on the practical areas that matter to your circumstances, your location and your lifestyle.

We then help you navigate those areas so you can spend less time figuring everything out and more time actually getting comfortable in your new environment.

The goal is simple:

Help you move from feeling new to feeling established.

Depending on your package and circumstances, support can include:

✓ Personal settling in consultation

✓ Review of your immediate setup priorities

✓ Internet and connectivity guidance

✓ Utility and household setup guidance

✓ Local transport orientation

✓ Shopping and everyday essentials

✓ Information about useful local services

✓ Guidance navigating everyday systems

✓ Local recommendations based on your needs

✓ Support creating a practical settling in plan

✓ Continued guidance during the agreed support period

Is This Right for You?

How Is This Different From First Week Concierge?

First Week Concierge focuses on your immediate arrival.

It helps you navigate those first unfamiliar days, understand your surroundings and deal with the essentials that matter when you have just arrived.

Life Setup and Settling In goes further.

It focuses on establishing the practical systems, services and routines you need to begin living comfortably and independently in Kenya.

A simple way of thinking about it is:

First Week Concierge helps you land.

Life Setup and Settling In helps you establish your life.

This service can also be useful if you have already been in Kenya for a while but still have aspects of everyday life that you haven't fully worked out.

Perhaps the immediate move is over, but you are still finding your feet.

DBK can focus on the specific areas where you need support rather than starting from the beginning.
