The two most reliable websites based in Kenya that can help you transact money from Paypal to Mpesa and vice versa are Chura and Instantpesa. I have personally used these two websites and found them useful.

• Instantpesa.com:  This is my number one priority. Instant Pesa is owned by Robert a very reliable and trusted Freelancer in Kenya. The website contains a calculator that enables you  to calculate how much money you will receive in Your Mpesa from Your Paypal account before transacting. Robert can easily be reached through  Safaricom number:

UPDATE: By March 23 2017 Chura had temporary discontinued its  paypal to mpesa services, be sure to confirm with them if they services are back before you do any paypal transaction.

Instantpesa.com also discontinued its paypal to mpesa services.
