Eagle Africa

What Eagle Africa does

Eagle Africa Insurance Brokers Ltd is a Nairobi-headquartered insurance brokerage firm established in 1951, operating across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The company functions as an intermediary rather than a risk carrier, connecting clients with multiple insurance providers and earning brokerage commissions on placements. Its service portfolio spans five core lines: General Insurance, Risk Management, Group Life Assurance, Health Insurance, and Pension Administration, organized into Individual Covers and Corporate Covers categories.

The firm serves two primary client segments. Individual and retail clients procure personal health, life, and general insurance coverage through direct consultation. Corporate and institutional clients — including multinationals (TotalEnergies, Coca-Cola, Cussons Kenya), international organizations (World Bank Group), and a substantial roster of NGOs and healthcare providers (IFAW, HIVOS, Sightsavers, Gertrudes Children's Hospital, Sankara Healthcare) — procure group life, health, risk management, and pension administration solutions. Distribution is conducted through physical branch offices in Nairobi's Upperhill headquarters and the CBD (Ng'ino Towers on Koinange Street), plus correspondence offices in Kampala and Dar es Salaam, with outreach via telephone, email, and in-person engagement.

There is no proprietary technology platform, software product, or digital channel described; the offering is a traditional brokerage service delivered through regional offices and direct sales personnel. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined case-by-case through client consultation. Marketing presence is minimal, limited to a basic corporate website displaying the client logo wall and product information, with no social media or paid digital channels identified.
