Hi everybody, It would be very useful to talk about the cost of living in Kenya. Don't forget to mention where in Kenya you are living. How much does it cost to live in Kenya? > accommodation prices > public transportation fares (tube, bus etc ...
Pardon me, but I think USD 1000 will only translate to Ksh. 85,000. It is very poor salary and it will be very difficult to live on this salary. Read More

While salary itself appears fair, cost of medical can be very very expensive in Nairobi. In some cases as much as 4-5 times the cost in India. If you want to live lavishly, you would save nothing, in my opinion. Read More
