Any consensus on the reliability of the Kenya postal service? I'm climbing Batian this week and brought a bit of equipment from home that I'd really like to unload after the trip. Is it safe to assume that everything will get there in a few months?
Cheers.

Not very reliable I'm afraid. The Kenyan postal service has quite a few dishonest employees who tend to help themselves to interesting packages.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Nyalibound. I have only used the service three times, but on two occasions the items disappeared.
I would not use it again
Try and find yourself an alternative.

I'd have to echo what has been said already. I've had a package sent to me from Canada (which was sent 2.5 months ago) and a package from London (which was sent about 4 months ago) and I'm still waiting for both, with very little hope at this point. :(
Better off to post a message on here seeing of somebody is traveling here to Kenya and ask them to bring your items, or find a place to buy... (for outdoor gear there's a somewhat decent place on the top floor of Yaya Centre near the natural foods store)
Good luck!
