Cost of Living in Kenya
Kenya's cost of living is less than in Europe or the US but is still higher than many expect. Access to certain western-quality amenities such as private healthcare, international schools and comfortable homes can inflate living costs greatly.
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. Quality four bedroom accommodation in Nairobi in an expat neighbourhood or compound will cost between $900 and $2,000 per month.
Tuition fees are always expensive at expat schools and can range from below $20,000.

- Month's maid service: 10,000-15,000 Kshs
