Considering job in Nairobi

We have our grandaughter in nursery school and pay around ksh 35000 per trimester for 5 mornings a week.  More expensive if we want the school bus to pick her.  Thats in Thika.  Good schools are costly!

Rent maybe Ksh 65000 upwards (am a bit out of date here as we have bought). 

Medical:  often included as a 'perk' from your employer.  If not, then at least in-patient cover strongly recommended.  Medical bills can escalate very quickly if hospitalised for any reason.

Safety:  Areas such as Westlands, Lavington, Kileleshwa are some of among the better (having had personal experience of all three).  When out and about, just take care, be observant and don't wander around on your own at night for example.

I agree with the previous post about the monthly budget.  Expenses can be kept down by shopping for fruit and veg at markets, rather than supermarkets.

Hope this helps.
