Air Freight via JKIA Nairobi
Fast delivery in 5 to 10 business days. Ideal for urgent orders, small shipments, and first-time buyers. Parts fly directly from Regina, Canada to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), Nairobi — with onward clearance to Mombasa, Kampala, Dar es Salaam and Kigali as needed.
East African destinations we cover
We regularly ship auto parts to Nairobi and Mombasa in Kenya, Kampala in Uganda, Dar es Salaam and Arusha in Tanzania, and Kigali in Rwanda, with onward clearance to Burundi, DR Congo and South Sudan. Ocean freight lands at the Port of Mombasa or Port of Dar es Salaam; air freight lands at JKIA Nairobi.
The consolidated container process
Most Maple Safari orders ship as part of a consolidated shipment — either a shared ocean container to Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, or a shared air pallet to JKIA Nairobi. Here's what that means for your landed cost and transit time.
What consolidation is
Your parts share a container (ocean) or air pallet with other Canada-to-Africa shipments. Each buyer pays only for their portion of the freight, not a full container.
Why it lowers landed cost
Per-kg air freight rates and per-cubic-metre ocean rates drop significantly at container-load volumes. Splitting a full load across multiple buyers passes that discount on to you.
Shipping cadence
Air consolidations depart weekly for JKIA Nairobi. Ocean consolidations depart roughly monthly from Vancouver to Mombasa and Montreal to Dar es Salaam. Urgent orders can fly on the next available flight.
Insured end-to-end
Every consolidated shipment ships with full marine or air-cargo insurance. If something is damaged in transit, you're covered.
Prefer to ship alone? You can also book a full container (FCL) or a dedicated air-cargo lane. See our 4-step ordering process or request a quote and mention "FCL only" in the notes.
Sample landed-cost breakdown
"Final price includes freight, clearance & quality verification" — here is what that looks like line by line. Example order: one set of front brake pads plus one oil filter for a Toyota Probox, air-freighted from Regina to JKIA Nairobi. Figures are illustrative; your quote is calculated on actual weight, dimensions and current rates.
| Line item | What it covers | CAD |
|---|---|---|
| Parts cost | Front brake pad set + oil filter, new OEM-quality, Canadian wholesale | $132.00 |
| Quality verification | Fitment cross-check against your VIN, inspection and photos before packing | $12.00 |
| Air freight to JKIA Nairobi | Approx. 4.5 kg chargeable weight on a weekly consolidated air pallet | $58.50 |
| Handling & consolidation fee | Export packing, manifest, documentation and consolidation handling | $25.00 |
| Insurance | Air-cargo insurance on the full declared value, door to airport | $6.50 |
| Total landed cost | Quoted to you as one number — no surprises on arrival | $234.00 |
Destination duties, VAT/IDF and local delivery beyond the port or airport are paid by the buyer or their clearing agent unless your quote states otherwise.
Price comparison: local market vs. Maple Safari
Counterfeit and grey-market parts often cost more than verified Canadian stock once you factor in early failure and repeat repairs. Maple Safari figures are the live price range of our current catalogue in each category, in Canadian Dollars, before destination duties.
