hi Kira, it will depend on your budget. Proximity to your place of work also crucial as city transport system not the best. Parklands / Westlands areas have good accommodations. You contact for any assistance, i work in Parklands area.

thanks

Hi Kira,

Congratulations on coming to Nairobi. Its a fantastic place to live, once you get over the first few bump. I really suggest living close to work, as Traffic can be a wee bit of a nightmare. Westlands is a great place if you want to be close to the action and there are lots of apartments and houses geared towards expats.

Cheers,
Leslie

Hi Kira,

What a coincidence. Today, we've just finalized moving one of your colleagues in your office from Valley arcade to an apartment in westlands, which is nearer to CMB's office. Once here, you can reach me through gitmunbo@gmail.com incase you have any difficulty settling.
