With InterNations, meeting other New Zealanders in Kenya is a breeze, no matter if you are in Garissa, Nairobi, Mobasa or any other expat magnet across the country. Just take our network of New Zealanders in Nairobi, for example.

If you are in the mood to speak your mother tongue again, to learn about the best spots to shop for New Zealand food, or to discuss your favorite sports team’s latest match, join the New Zealand InterNations Community:

  • In our huge expat network, you can easily find like-minded expatriates from New Zealand.
  • Our Kenya Expat Forums are a great place to share experiences and advice – for example how to find a nanny speaking your language or where to get pavlova in Nairobi...
