KIMANZI by UrbanChill
Fee overview — 2026 rates
All amounts in Kenyan Shilling (KSh), paid via M-Pesa within 2 working days of invoice + receipts. EUR shown is indicative (June 2026 rate, €1 ≈ KSh 150) and fixed for all of 2026 — no indexing until 1 January 2027.
Arrival
Pickup JKIA, transfer, SIM, first errands. 6–10 hours.
+ Fuel, lunch (reimbursed on receipt)
Arrival duo
Same as Arrival for two guests. Heavier coordination, longer day.
+ Fuel, lunch (reimbursed on receipt)
Extra Day
Half day, weekday. Content and timing arranged with the guest. Stackable.
+ Fuel, lunch (reimbursed on receipt)
Concierge
Monthly remote support. Includes 1 in-person visit per month. Runs while guest stays subscribed.
— No extras
Combination & Advice assignments are scoped per request. Fee agreed in writing before you accept.
Concierge — workload guideline
The guideline is 6 active hours per guest, per month. Most of it is remote — messages, reservations, referrals. One in-person visit per month is included and reimbursable.
If a guest consistently runs over 6 hours, suggest an Extra Day instead. Concierge isn't unlimited consulting.
No hourly billing. The 6 hours is a workload guideline, not an invoicing basis — you invoice KSh 9,000 per active month regardless of whether the guest asks for more or less.
How payment works
💳
Pre-funded by the guest
Assignments only enter the pipeline after the guest has paid KIMANZI in full. Your fee is on our account before your day begins.
📸
Send invoice + receipts
Right after the assignment: photo of each receipt + your invoice to host@kimanzi.nl. No special form needed.
⚡
Paid within 2 days
Admin time, not financial time. Once receipts arrive and work is confirmed, payout runs via M-PESA — minutes to your account.
🧾
Expenses reimbursed
Fuel and lunch you advance on the day are reimbursed in full on the same invoice. No pre-approval needed.
Annual indexing
📈
Reviewed every January, starting 2027
2026 rates are starting rates — no indexing this year. From 1 January 2027, fees adjust annually based on the average of Dutch and Kenyan inflation (CBS + KNBS) over the prior year, rounded to the nearest KSh 500. You'll hear about any change before 15 December, ahead of it taking effect.
Full indexing formula & sources

Step 1. In December, read the final annual CPI figures: CBS (Netherlands) and KNBS (Kenya).
Step 2. Average the two: (NL% + KE%) / 2 = indexing percentage.
Step 3. Apply to all KSh amounts, rounded to the nearest KSh 500.
Step 4. New amounts communicated to active hosts before 15 December, effective 1 January.
