Looking for a dating site in Kenya that takes it seriously?
Pendo is a Kenyan dating site for people who want something real. A person reviews every profile before it goes live, everyone answers the honest questions up front, and you pay once by M-Pesa, not every month.
What makes this different from other dating sites in Kenya
Many people have the same complaints about dating sites: fake profiles, stolen photos, and people who turn out to be married. So nothing goes live here until a person has looked at it. At least three real photos are required, and pictures of cars, wallpapers, celebrities or someone else are refused.
Everyone also answers the questions you would otherwise spend three dates working up to: single or married, children, work, drinking, smoking, and whether they would relocate. You see the answers before you say hello.
What it costs in Kenya
Packages are a one-off payment by M-Pesa, with no monthly fee: Local Dating at KSh 7,350, Silver Mixed Dating at KSh 16,500 and Gold International & Relocation at KSh 27,500.
Creating a profile is how you open other people's profiles from Kenya. A package then unlocks their other photos, WhatsApp, phone and email, so you talk directly with no inbox and no paying per message.
Singles across all 47 counties
Members can list themselves in any county, from Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu to Turkana and Kwale, and you can filter by age, county, children, religion and lifestyle. Each profile says whether that person is looking close to home or wants to meet people abroad.
Common questions
Is this a free dating site in Kenya?
Not fully, and we'd rather say so up front. From Kenya you need a profile of your own to open other profiles, and contact details need a package. Payment is what lets us have a person check every profile.
How do I know the profiles are real?
A person reviews every photo and answer before publishing. The ID verified badge means we've also seen a national ID or passport. No site can promise everyone is honest, so please still read our safety guide.
Can I pay with M-Pesa?
Yes. Every payment on the site is by M-Pesa paybill, and a person confirms it against the statement.
