Yes — you can send flowers to Kenya from abroad. Order online or on WhatsApp from the UK, USA, Canada, Dubai, Australia or anywhere else. The Stems Flowers prepares the bouquet in Nairobi CBD and delivers to your mum, dad, sibling or friend across Nairobi, often the same day when you order before 4PM East Africa Time.

Can I send flowers to Kenya if I live abroad?

Yes. Diaspora customers order every week. You choose the bouquet, share the recipient’s name, phone and Nairobi address, pay securely, and we deliver locally — you never need a Kenyan SIM or M-Pesa account on your phone if you pay by card.

How to send flowers to Nairobi from the UK, USA, Canada, Dubai or Australia

  1. Choose a bouquet or gift — browse flowers, roses, gift hampers or teddy bears. Bouquets start from KES 3,000 (about £18 / $23 depending on the day’s rate).
  2. Send recipient details — full name, Kenyan mobile number, estate/building, floor and gate instructions (Westlands, Karen, Kileleshwa, CBD, etc.).
  3. Pay — card via Pesapal on our checkout, or ask us on WhatsApp for M-Pesa Till 4202044 / Paybill 880100 Account 433587 if someone in Kenya is paying for you.
  4. Get confirmation — we confirm the order, prepare at Delta Hotel, University Way, and dispatch a rider.
  5. Photo on delivery (on request) — ask us for a delivery photo. It is the strongest trust signal when you are thousands of kilometres away.

How long does flower delivery to Kenya take?

For Nairobi addresses, same-day delivery is available when you order by 4PM East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3). From London that is 1PM GMT / 2PM BST; from New York roughly 9AM EST; from Dubai 5PM GST; from Sydney evening the night before. Order earlier on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Christmas week.

What if the recipient is not home?

Our rider calls the recipient on arrival. If they miss the call, we try a neighbour or security desk when you have authorised it, or we reschedule the same day or next morning. Always leave a working Kenyan number.

Festive deadlines for the diaspora

  • Valentine’s Day (14 February) — order 2–3 days early for peak rose stock.
  • Mother’s Day (second Sunday of May) — book by the Thursday before.
  • Christmas / New Year — order mid-week before the holiday for reliable Nairobi slots.
