Dewale Consulting Unveils Kenya Property Investment Tour, Projects 9–12% Rental Yields for Nigerian Investors

Dewale Consulting Ltd (DCL), a data-driven real estate advisory firm, has announced its 2026 Gateway to East Africa Kenya Real Estate Investment Tour, positioning the initiative as an opportunity for Nigerians to diversify their investment portfolios through Kenya’s growing property market.

The investment tour, scheduled to take place from July 20 to 25, 2026, in Nairobi, is designed to provide participants with firsthand exposure to vetted real estate opportunities while offering insights into Kenya’s regulatory, legal, and investment landscape.

According to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of DCL, Adewale Ajibade, the initiative aligns with Africa’s broader economic integration agenda under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and encourages Nigerian investors to explore opportunities beyond the domestic market.

Ajibade said portfolio diversification has become increasingly important for investors seeking to protect wealth from currency fluctuations, noting that Kenya offers a relatively stable macroeconomic environment, transparent regulations, and a more mature real estate market.

He added that Nairobi’s position as East Africa’s financial and institutional hub, alongside Kenya’s established REIT market and thriving technology ecosystem, continues to strengthen the country’s appeal to foreign investors. He also noted that improved cross-border payment systems through PAPSS and the presence of Nigerian financial institutions, including Access Bank, UBA, and GTBank, have made cross-border property transactions more accessible.

As part of the investment tour, participants will undertake site inspections of selected residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments across Nairobi and Kenya’s coastal regions. DCL said investors will receive detailed market intelligence covering demand trends, pricing, rental performance, and investment prospects.

The programme will also include legal, tax, and title verification through Kenya’s digital ArdhiSasa land registry, as well as guidance on market entry requirements for foreign investors. Participants will also have access to financial modelling, investment planning, and consultations with local real estate professionals.

Properties featured during the tour include off-plan apartments in Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Lavington, Riverside, and Westlands; gated residential communities in Karen, Ruiru, and Kiambu; serviced apartments and holiday rental projects along Kenya’s coast; and Grade-A commercial developments in Upper Hill, Garden City, and Tatu City.

Based on DCL’s market outlook for 2026, residential properties in Kenya are projected to deliver rental yields of between 9 and 12 per cent, while selected off-plan developments could generate returns on investment of 25 to 30 per cent upon completion.

Participants opting for the deluxe package will also visit Mombasa, where they will tour beachfront developments in Diani, Nyali, and Shanzu, with a focus on hospitality and vacation rental assets supported by Kenya’s tourism sector.

The tour package includes return airfare on Kenya Airways, four nights’ accommodation, guided property inspections, an investment workshop, and a city tour of Nairobi.

Ajibade noted that DCL’s investment approach, which it describes as the “Second Basket Strategy,” encourages investors to spread assets between Nigeria and stable African markets to reduce exposure to Naira depreciation.

He added that the firm’s network of banking partners, legal advisers, and developers enables clients to complete transactions, manage their property portfolios remotely, receive investment returns, and execute exits without the need for frequent international travel.
