10+ Years, 2,500+ Plots
Our Story
From 20 Plots in Juja to 8 Counties
Shamba Bora Plots Ltd was founded in 2015 by Simon Kariuki and Lydia Njeri after a family friend lost his savings to a fake land dealer. Their first project was just 20 plots in Juja, Kiambu — every one searched, beaconed and sold with the buyer standing beside them at the lands office.
Word travelled the Kenyan way: one honest handshake at a time. Today we operate in 8 counties, from Kitengela to Kisumu, with an EARB-registered field team, in-house surveyors and a diaspora desk serving Kenyans abroad.
Our Values
What We Refuse to Compromise
Four values, printed on the wall of every Shamba Bora office.
Honest Pricing
The price you see is the price you pay — survey, beacons and transfer support are included, always.
Real Titles Only
Every project passes an official Ardhisasa search before we sell a single plot. No "promised" titles.
People First
Free Saturday site visits, honest advice — even when it means telling you not to buy — and after-sale support until your title is out.
Community
Schools, water points and graded roads are planned into every project we open — we sell neighbourhoods, not just land.
Milestones
The Journey So Far
Plot by plot, family by family.
Humble Beginnings
Founded in Nairobi; sold our first 20 plots in Juja, Kiambu — with every buyer present for the official search.
500th Family on Their Own Land
Three years in, our 500th family received their title deed. The referral engine was officially running.
Nakuru Office Opens
Expansion into the Rift Valley with a full-time office and survey team serving Nakuru and Naivasha.
Diaspora Desk Launched
Video site tours and lawyer-led conveyancing for Kenyans in the USA, UK and the Gulf.
2,500+ Plots Sold
A decade of honest selling crosses the 2,500-plot mark, with a 98% client-satisfaction score.
8 Counties and Growing
Active projects in Nairobi, Kiambu, Kajiado, Machakos, Nakuru, Laikipia, Kilifi and Kisumu.
Diaspora Desk
Buy Land from Boston, London or Dubai
Thousands of Kenyans abroad send money home every year — and too much of it disappears into the wrong hands. Our diaspora desk was built so you can buy land 14,000 km away with the same confidence as standing on the plot yourself.
Video Site Tours
Live walkthroughs of your plot — boundaries, beacons, roads and neighbours — before you pay anything.
Lawyer-Led Conveyancing
An independent advocate acts for you from search to transfer. Your interests, professionally represented.
Power of Attorney
Buy without flying home — a registered POA lets our team sign and lodge your transfer on your behalf.
M-Pesa Receipt Trail
Every payment to Paybill 555444 lands with an official receipt — a clean, traceable record of your investment.
Scheduled Video Calls
Progress updates on your transfer at every stage — same faces, same update, every month.
