Built for the diaspora, trusted across all of Africa 

Where most UK forwarders cover only Nigeria, Rolats is a genuine pan-African specialist — from Lagos and Accra to Nairobi, Harare, Freetown and beyond, around 45 countries across West, Central and East/Southern Africa, by air and sea, door-to-door.

We speak the language of the multi-national African diaspora in the UK. We understand barrels and “Ghana Must Go” bags, food parcels and full relocations, and the real concerns behind every shipment: cost, safety, timing, and the simple question — “will it actually arrive?”

That means handling the country-specific paperwork properly — Form M and SONCAP for Nigeria, CTN for Ghana and West Africa, and the equivalents for every destination — so your cargo isn't held. And it means all-in GBP pricing with no surprise charges at the African end.

What we stand for 

True pan-African coverage

Not just Nigeria — ~45 countries across West, Central and East/Southern Africa. The breadth no single-nation rival can match.

Genuine door-to-door

Collection at your UK door, delivery to the door in Africa. Not door-to-port — the whole journey, handled as one job.

Diaspora specialists

Barrels, “Ghana Must Go” bags, food parcels, personal effects and full relocations. We speak your community's language.

Customs expertise both ends

Form M / SONCAP for Nigeria, CTN for Ghana and West Africa, ECTN/BSC and more — paperwork done so cargo isn't held.

Transparent all-in GBP pricing

Air at a clear published rate, sea from £70/bag. No surprise charges billed to your family at the African end.
