Dewale Consulting Ltd (DCL) has announced a new initiative designed to open up Kenya’s booming property sector to Nigerian investors, as cross-border investment interest continues to rise across Africa. The programme is part of a broader push to help investors diversify their portfolios beyond local markets and tap into emerging opportunities in East Africa.
The six-day investment tour, themed “Gateway to East Africa: Real Estate Investment Safari – Experience Kenya on the Ground,” is scheduled to hold from July 20 to July 25, 2026. It will combine on-the-ground property visits with investment workshops, as well as sessions with legal and financial experts to guide participants through the Kenyan real estate landscape.
According to DCL Managing Director and CEO Adewale Ajibade, the initiative is driven by Africa’s increasing economic integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). He noted that Kenya stands out as a top destination due to its stable regulatory environment, growing economy, and Nairobi’s status as a major commercial hub often referred to as the “Silicon Savannah.”
Participants will tour residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments across Nairobi and coastal regions, gaining firsthand exposure to off-plan apartments, serviced residences, gated estates, and Grade-A commercial properties. The programme will also include guidance on legal verification, tax structures, and land ownership checks using Kenya’s digital ArdhiSasa land registry system.
DCL added that investors could see projected rental yields between 9% and 12% in selected segments, with some off-plan projects offering potential returns of up to 30% upon completion. The firm says the initiative is designed to help Nigerian investors hedge against currency risks, diversify assets, and unlock long-term wealth opportunities across African markets.
