All Thika Postal Codes

The main postal code for Thika is 01000, which serves Thika Town Central and is the code most people refer to when talking about Thika postal code. However, Thika Town operates under three main postal codes that serve different geographical areas within the town. Here’s a quick overview:

• 01000 – Thika Town Central/GPO (Main Post Office)
• 01002 – Madaraka (Kamenu Ward area)
• 01016 – Ndithini (Ndithini area)

The Main Postal Code for Thika follows the same Kenyan Postal Code structure since it’s made up of a 5-digit structure: the first two digits (01) represent the broader Central region, while the final three digits pinpoint the specific post office or delivery zone.

For example, the postal code 01000 breaks down as follows:

• 01 = Regional prefix for Kiambu County’s northeastern zone
• 000 = Thika Town Main Post Office

Note: Thika Postal Code 01000 differs from Kiambu Town’s 00900 code (which uses the 00 prefix for the central region) but falls under the same county administration. The “01” prefix is designated explicitly for the Thika and surrounding Gatundu area.
