Living in Kenya

Kenya is one of Africa’s most powerful economic forces, and there are many opportunities for foreigners living in Kenya. As a result, the larger cities have extensive communities and resources for ex-pats. Kenya’s climate is hot and humid along the coast, though the temperatures cool as travelers move inward across the country’s grasslands towards the capital. Kenya’s northeastern region, bordering Ethiopia, is dry and near-desert.

The majority of Kenya’s international schools are located in the capital of Nairobi. Nairobi, known as the “Safari Capital of the World,” is one of the few global cities to boast a National Park inside its city limits. Residents have easy access to the region’s spectacular plains and wildlife while enjoying the conveniences of an urban lifestyle.
