Cost of Living in Kenya
The cost of living in Kenya is less than that of Europe or the US, but it is still higher than many expats would expect. Access to certain Western-quality amenities such as private healthcare, international schools and comfortable homes, can inflate living costs tremendously. Furthermore, expats will find themselves shouldering many unforeseen expenses – like paying for drinking water and a security guard.
Depending on an expat's employment, some of the most expensive costs of living in Kenya may be covered by the employer, such as accommodation, transportation and international school fees. Expats should try their best to negotiate allowances for these factors in their expat package.
