Buying Electronics During Kenyan Sales Seasons (December 2025)
Kenya’s sales seasons offer prime opportunities to snag electronics like smartphones, laptops, TVs, and accessories at steep discounts. The standout event is Black Friday, now expanded into “Black November”—a month-long frenzy from late October to November 30, with up to 70% off on platforms like Jumia. This ties into pre-Christmas shopping, making November-December the best time for deals on gadgets.
Key Sales Seasons for Electronics
- Black November/Friday (October 31–November 30, 2025): Jumia leads with massive discounts on phones (Samsung, Infinix, Tecno), TVs, laptops, and appliances. Flash sales, weekly mega deals, and up to 70% off make it Kenya’s biggest e-commerce event. Physical stores in Nairobi CBD and malls join in.
- Pre-Christmas & Boxing Day (December): Extended deals post-Black Friday, focusing on gifts—electronics like sound systems and smart TVs see clearances.
- Other Periods: Back-to-school (January) or mid-year sales, but November reigns for deepest electronics cuts.
Electronics top wish lists—47% of shoppers target phones/TVs during Black Friday for long-term upgrades.
Tips for Smart Buying During Sales
