Why Kenya

Kenya’s economic and social development is greatly dependent on International trade.
Kenya’s geographical location makes it a major gateway for trade to the Eastern and Central African region. Kenya is located on the eastern coast of Africa, bordering Somalia to the east; Ethiopia to the north; Sudan to the northwest; Uganda to the west and Tanzania to the south.

The Port of Mombasa, the largest seaport in Africa is located on the east coast roughly midway between the South African port of Durban and major ports in the Red Sea and Middle East. The port of Mombassa has provided a main gateway for Kenya’s international trade and being the premier port of East and Central Africa it handles about 13 million tones of cargo each year including 3 million tones of transit cargo.

The Gateway to East African Market of 380 million consumers Besides its own market of 33 million consumers, Kenya is the only comfortable distributor of goods to other East African countries such as Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Somalia and several other East-Central African Countries. The overall market can be estimated to be that of 380 million consumers. Situated on the East Coast Of Africa, and having the largest Sea Port in Mombassa, the country is the largest incoming source of products to Africa by sea from the East. The capital Nairobi, is one of the most developed and modern city in Africa having all facilities as any other developing city in the world. Modern construction is a common view in the cities of Kenya which include high rise buildings and sky scrapers . Besides business, Kenya is world famous for its fabulous Safaris that attract foreign tourists throughout the year, thus generating remarkable foreign earnings for the country.

Nairobi is considered as the capital not only for Kenya, but the entire East African region. It's a very busy and lively city that offers everything to the foreign visitor, be it business, tourism or entertainment.
