Additional expenses will come from school fees, domestic help and initial relocation costs.

Hi coughtrey,
The salary is a good one considering other expenses have been taken care of such as accomodation,petrol allowance,and medical,these expenses can really cut into your budget!.If you can be paid that money in dollars the better,as you will discover our currency is always unstable!Housing can be found within the area,a fully furnished apartment 1-2 bedroom ranges from 80,000-130,000 kenya shillings currently the dollar retails at a bout 90 shillings to the dollar.At least for your children there are still young so you may not really spend much in terms of schoooling,you may need a nanny or househelp,you may not need a guard,as the apartments always have  aguard stationed on the gate 24hrs,for further enquiries call me o +254721805443.

Coughtrey, hello!
We just moved to Nairobi. Considering schools: children here go to school since 2-years-old. Schools with English carriculum are really good here.
But while looking for a school for our 5-years-old daughter we found out that classes are full and they have a long waiting list. So it would be better for you to aplly to some schools in advance.
Of course if you plan to enroll them to school.

For example, Braeborn school, Braeside, International Kenyan school, Hillcrest, etc.
