Nakuru
Nakuru offers a distinct appeal for expats seeking a more relaxed pace and closer proximity to nature than Nairobi, without sacrificing essential amenities. As a growing regional hub, it provides a comfortable daily reality with generally good safety and accessible local healthcare.
While the expat community is smaller and less diverse, fostering a more integrated local experience, residents enjoy a cooler climate and easy access to stunning natural parks like Lake Nakuru. Be prepared that for highly specialized services, a trip to Nairobi might be necessary.
