It's very ironical to say that you've lived in Kenya (Nairobi) when in real sense you've only been in westlands,lavington,kileleshwa,kilimani,hurlinghum etc. The truth is, you've only lived a tenth of nairobian life and experienced very little.
There is more to taste and experience when you're planning to relocate. Wonderful and amazing experiences. You just have to find the right first contact and trust me you will enjoy your stay. :D

The cost of living in Kenya (Nairobi) is very cheap and enjoyable. Don't only be limited to a few areas. Explore.

Unfortunately, some of those 'unexplored areas' are simply not safe for foreigners and there is a reason why expats live in westlands,lavington,kileleshwa,kilimani,hurlingham. 

The risks of living, or even visiting in other areas simply outweigh the benefits!!

Life most certainly isn't cheap in Nairobi for a foreigner, as the costs of living in the above areas are high and then foreigners tend to be charged more for many goods/services.  The often mistaken view that all foreigners are rich, just won't go away!!

I am totally agreed with you. People should see how beautiful is Kenya. I am here for very long. When I started my career in the beginning years, I choose Kenya.
If you don't spend unnecessary, you can have a good living for sure.

Watu wa Kenya wanapenda sana na husaidia. Ni kama nyumba yangu.
