Coming to Kenya? Start with someone on the ground.
Africa Connector helps people and organisations outside Kenya understand the ground, connect with the right people and get things done locally. From research and introductions to coordination and local representation, you have someone here before you arrive, while you're in Kenya and after you leave.
One trusted local point of contact.
You don't need to know everyone in Kenya. You need a reliable local connection who knows where to start.
Africa Connector is a Kenya-based local support and representation company for people and organisations abroad. We help you make sense of what you're trying to do, find the right people and coordinate what needs to happen on the ground.
From the team behind VA Africa.
Close to seven years of experience supporting international clients.

See what we do
Understand the ground
Local knowledge, research, practical information and context to help you understand your options.
Connect to the ground
Relevant connections to credible professionals, businesses, organisations, networks and opportunities.
Get things done on the ground
Trusted local coordination and representation when something needs to be arranged, visited, checked or followed up.
Need someone here when you can't be?

- Meeting attendance
- Site visits
- Property visits
- Partner follow-up
- Local research
- Project check-ins
Support that stays connected to the plan.
Before you come
Arrive with context, not guesswork.
Research, planning, introductions, recommendations and coordination before you come.
While you're here
Have someone locally who understands the plan.
Meetings, logistics, introductions, site visits, practical support and agreed coordination while you're in Kenya.
After you leave
Your work in Kenya doesn't have to stop when you leave.
Follow-up, local representation, communication, research and ongoing coordination after you return home.
Some clients never travel at all. We can still support agreed work locally on their behalf.
The right people can change what happens next.
Sometimes you need a professional. Sometimes you need a partner, an organisation, a business contact or someone working in a particular field.
Africa Connector helps you identify and reach people who are relevant to what you're trying to accomplish in Kenya. We research, make appropriate introductions and, where useful, help coordinate the conversation.
Professional expertise
Property, legal, tax, accounting, business and other specialist support.
Business & opportunity
Entrepreneurs, companies, industry contacts and professional networks.
Organisations & partnerships
Nonprofits, institutions, community organisations, universities and potential partners.
Everyday life
Schools, healthcare, accommodation, transport and trusted local providers.
Sometimes the right connection needs a room.
When several people or organisations would benefit from meeting around a shared purpose, we can help identify relevant participants, make introductions and coordinate a private meeting, roundtable, breakfast or focused visit programme.
Tell us who you need to meet. We help create the right connection.
More on connectionsA local relationship you can rely on.
Local presence
We're based here and can physically act when something needs someone on the ground.
Trusted connections
We help identify relevant people and providers instead of leaving you to work through unfamiliar options alone.
One point of contact
You don't have to coordinate several unfamiliar people and providers yourself.
Follow-through
We stay involved through agreed next steps rather than disappearing after an introduction.
Tell us what you're trying to do
Share what you're working on, what you've already figured out and where local support could help.
We work out what you need
We identify what Africa Connector can coordinate directly and where independent specialist expertise may be required.
We move it forward
We research, connect, coordinate, represent or follow up based on the agreed scope.
Every engagement is different. Once we understand what you need, we agree on the scope, fee and next steps before work begins.
Built from relationships that already crossed borders.
Africa Connector grew from the experience of the team behind VA Africa, a Kenya-based business that has spent close to seven years supporting international clients remotely.
Over time, we saw another need emerging. Clients did not only need support online. They needed people they could trust locally when their plans, interests and relationships brought them to Kenya.
Africa Connector was created to be that connection.
