About freight forwarders in East Africa

Logistics is the circulatory system of East African trade. Mombasa and Dar es Salaam ports clear goods bound for landlocked Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, and eastern DRC. Truckers haul cargo on the Northern and Central corridors. Last-mile courier services have multiplied with the e-commerce boom. Cold-chain logistics for dairy, horticulture, and pharmaceuticals is a fast-growing sub-sector.

EABD lists freight forwarders, clearing and forwarding agents, courier and last-mile delivery companies, passenger transport operators, warehousing providers, cold-chain operators, and customs brokers. Verified profiles include the corridors served, fleet size, certifications, and reviews from real shippers.

About Kenya

Kenya is the largest economy in East Africa and the regional hub for finance, technology, and aviation. Nairobi hosts the UN's only African headquarters, the Nairobi Securities Exchange, and the African operations of most multinationals working in the region. Beyond the capital, Mombasa is the busiest port on Africa's east coast, Kisumu commands lake-side trade, and a fast-urbanising belt of secondary cities such as Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika and Machakos anchors economic activity in every county.

EABD covers all 47 counties of Kenya. You can browse businesses by county, by major city, or by industry-specific landing pages that combine geography and sector. Verified Kenyan businesses on EABD cross-reference KRA PIN, business registration (eCitizen / BRS), and where applicable sector-specific licensing (CBK for banking, IRA for insurance, NCA for construction). The result is a directory that buyers, partners, and the diaspora can actually rely on.
