Hi, I am moving from Australia to Kampala around me the end of October and had a few questions for those who have already done it 馃槉
What is the average rent like in a safe, decent area of Kampala? (I will be working in naguru, but I know it is quite expensive there).
What is the average monthly salary needed for a decent expat type lifestyle?
Is it cheaper to get household items shipped or buy new things over there?
Any tips would be appreciated 馃槉
Thanks!

Hi Wendihart
Check out my blog Diary of a Muzungu for a few tips on life in KLA / UG.
Many single expats pay around $500 for rent of a room in a house, however you can pay as little as $200.
Others pay $1000 or $2000 for modern s/contained apartments.
Buy new or 2nd hand stuff here. Shipping is expensive. Only worth doing if A. your co. is paying for it or B. you will be staying a few years
