Good afternoon, everyone.

I am considering a job offer that brings me to Nairobi. I am currently working in Abu Dhabi, UAE.  I would be working at the UN compound, so I need to know the best place to live, best schools (currently my kids are in an IB school), should I ship my car(s) both are left-hand drives. What are average rents, school fees and any other helpful hints you may have for me?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards.
Steve

Hi Barnsee and welcome to the forum  :)

Correct about left hand drive cars not allowed in Kenya. For the other information you are seeking perhaps read through the other threads here on the forum and also check out www.numbeo.com for living costs
