Nairobi

Tier 3

Kenya

Silicon Savannah - East Africa's tech capital, at altitude.

On the roadmap

About Nairobi

Nairobi sits 1,800m above sea level, which gives it a mild spring-like climate year-round despite being on the equator. It is the centre of East African technology and venture funding, with a genuine startup community, and it is the only major city on earth with a national park on its doorstep.

Nomad Tips

M-Pesa runs the economy - set it up in your first week and you can pay for almost anything.

Most nationalities need an eTA before arrival; apply online in advance.

Traffic is severe. Live near where you work and avoid crossing town at peak.

Normal city-safety awareness applies; ask locally which areas to avoid after dark.
