InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Nairobi
Hello to all Americans in Nairobi! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Nairobi? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Nairobi which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st￭ turkey?
There’s no doubt about it: expat life in Nairobi is not just one long safari. The Kenyan capital is a sprawling city known for its bad reputation in terms of personal safety but luckily also for its culinary delights, the hospitality, a very active contemporary arts scene, its surrounding natural beauty, and much more! With the , navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in districts such as Brookside or Kileleshwa, which are about a 30-minute drive away from Nairobi’s center.
Although Nairobi has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Nairobi, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Expats on InterNations gave us valuable hints for finding an appropriate school in Nairobi for our two children.
