How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.
For travelers planning a one-week mid-range stay in Kenya, a budget of around KES 150,000 to KES 200,000 (approximately $1,000 to $1,350 USD) should suffice. This budget allows for comfortable accommodation, meals, and transport while enabling some exploration of the country’s diverse attractions. Below are typical daily expenses you might encounter during your stay:
Overall, Kenya offers a mix of affordability and moderate prices. While it’s generally less expensive than visiting the United States, it can be slightly more pricey than certain aspects of travel in the UK, particularly when it comes to accommodation and dining in tourist-heavy areas. However, day-to-day expenses in Kenya remain manageable, making it a worthwhile destination for diverse travel experiences without breaking the bank.
For expats settling in Kenya, understanding the local cost of living can greatly aid in budgeting effectively. Typical monthly expenses might range from KES 80,000 to KES 150,000, depending on lifestyle choices. This includes rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation. Renting a one-bedroom apartment in a city center can set you back around KES 30,000 to KES 60,000, while utilitarian costs like groceries might add up to KES 20,000 to KES 30,000 per month.
For those navigating financial transactions, using local banking services and carrying a local bank card can be convenient. Major cities often have ATMs that accept international cards. When transferring money, services like Wise or OFX often offer better exchange rates and lower fees compared to traditional banks, especially for significant transactions. It’s generally recommended to exchange a small amount of cash locally for immediate use and rely on online transfer services for larger transactions to save on conversion fees. Remember to always compare rates to ensure you get the best deal!
