Nairobi CBD

Nairobi is one of the best digital nomad destinations in Africa. The city is surprisingly modern and metropolitan. There are plenty of things to do. The locals are friendly. There are lots of good restaurants to enjoy. Nairobi also has excellent nightlife. It’s a great choice for those who love city life. As an added bonus, you can literally go for a safari in the city limits in Nairobi National Park. For these reasons, Nairobi is my favorite city in Africa.

Nairobi is also one of Africa’s largest tech hubs. This also makes it a great choice for digital nomads. The internet speeds are fast and the connection is pretty reliable. It’s easy to get a 20 Mbps connection. Data is affordable. Co-working spaces are also widely available.

The cost of living in Nairobi is relatively low as well. Expect to spend around $1000-$1400 per month. This budget includes rent, food, accommodation, entertainment, and transportation. You could live on less than $1000 per month here if you’re willing to cook for yourself and live outside the city center.

There are lots of things to do in Nairobi. If you enjoy shopping, there are lots of malls and markets to explore. Nairobi is also a good food city. You can find great local and international cuisine. Kenyan food is delicious. Nairobi has several interesting museums to explore. Westlands is a great place for nightlife. If you’re looking for adventure then Nairobi National Park or Maasai Mara are both great places to go for safaris. You spot some amazing wildlife including elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebra, hippos, and more.

Nairobi offers an extremely comfortable climate due to its high elevation and location near the equator. The temperature usually ranges between 17°C (62°F) and 25°C (77°F). This is perfect for digital nomads who like warmer climates but don’t want it too hot during the summer months.

Public transportation in Nairobi is decent. The main mode of transport is matatus (shared minibusses) and motorcycle taxis. Uber is also available and is affordable. You could get around the city for $40-$50 per month.

For most nationalities, Kenya is easy to visit. They offer an easy-to-use e-visa program. You can apply for your online and stay in Kenya for up to 90 days on a single entry visa, multi-entry visa, or an East Africa Tourist Visa. It is also possible to extend the visa. There is no digital nomad visa at this time.

It’s also easy to speak to locals and make friends. Kenyans are extremely friendly people. Most people are fluent in English. The official language of Kenya is Kiswahili. It’s a fun language to learn.

One potential drawback of living in Nairobi as a digital nomad is that it’s not the safest city. Crime is a serious issue. It’s not called ‘Nairobbery’ for nothing. Muggings are common in some neighborhoods. It’s not safe to walk around alone at night in Nairobi. Petty theft and pickpocketing are also issues. Particularly on matatus and in crowded parts of the CBD. You need to take some precautions when you’re out and about. Avoid carrying valuables. During the day it is relatively safe to wander around but you have to stay alert.

2. Cape Town, South Africa

  • Region: Southern Africa
  • Population: 4.6 million

Cape Town also has a large expat community. This makes it easy to meet other digital nomads. It’s also easy to meet travelers because Cape Town is a major tourist destination. It’s easy to meet locals as well. Pretty much everyone speaks English.

Cape Town is also a pretty decent food city. You can find traditional South African, vegan food, fast food, and international cuisine. It’s also a great place for wine lovers. There are a number of excellent wineries in the nearby region of Stellenbosch.

It’s important to note that Cape Town is one of the more dangerous cities on this list. Theft and robberies are common. You have to be cautious while out and about. Security is a pretty serious concern here. While I was walking to a restaurant one night, a masked man ran up to me and started demanding money. I walked into the restaurant and he waited for me outside for a few minutes. Luckily, he had left by the time I was ready to go home. It was pretty sketchy. Cape Town is not a safe place to walk around at night. This is by far the biggest drawback of living here. It’s a dangerous city.

Kampala, Uganda is probably my favorite digital nomad destination in Africa. It’s a great option for those looking to explore a traditional, lively, and upcoming African city. It is a bit of a hidden gem.

There are loads of excellent cafes and roadside coffee stands.

Addis Ababa offers decent internet speeds. There is a pretty big tech scene here. Expect an average download speed of around 18.39 Mbps. There are 5 co-working spaces located throughout the city.

One potential drawback is internet reliability. While I was traveling in Ethiopia, the internet for the entire country was shut off for 5 days while students were taking their exams. The government shut the internet off in an attempt to prevent cheating. If you absolutely need to be online at all times, this could be a deal breaker. I don’t know if this happens all the time or if it was a one-time thing.

There are plenty of things to see and do in the city. You can go shopping at Merkato. This is the largest open-air market in Africa. You can see Lucy at the National Museum of Ethiopia.

Madagascar offers surprisingly fast internet speeds. Expect download speeds of around 42.27 Mbps. Madagascar actually has some of the fastest broadband speeds in Africa. The internet isn’t very reliable in most areas. You will have to put up with some outages.

The road network is poor. Roads are rough. Most people travel by bush taxi. This is slow and uncomfortable. If you have the budget, you can travel by domestic flights. It is an incredibly underdeveloped country. Madagascar is one of the world’s poorest countries.

My Experience Living as a Digital Nomad in Africa

Currently, I am living in Kampala. I’ve been here for about 5 months so far. I love it. Overall, Kampala is an excellent digital nomad destination. It’s affordable, the people are friendly, and there are lots of interesting places to explore nearby. It’s also relatively safe. I feel comfortable walking around and exploring the city. The nightlife is also pretty good.

On average, I spend about $1200 per month. I could easily cut that down to around $1000 per month if I went out less and cooked more of my own food. It would be possible to get by on as little as $600 per month here if I rented an apartment and furnished it myself.

Currently, I’m renting a comfortable one bedroom apartment for around $410 per month. This includes unlimited wifi, electricity, and water. The apartment is fully furnished. The apartment has an instant hot water heater for hot showers. The neighborhood is safe and walkable. It’s comfortable.

One major drawback I have experienced is how unreliable utilities are. The power goes out almost daily. Sometimes it goes out for 15-20 minutes. Sometimes it goes out for a couple of hours. Once in a while, it goes out all day. This gets incredibly annoying if I’m trying to work. When the power goes out, I can work on my laptop’s battery and my Mifi. Sitting around in the dark gets old. The water also goes out occasionally. Usually, it’s restored within a few hours.

Overall, Kampala is a great digital nomad destination. There are some annoyances that you don’t have to deal with in other popular digital nomad destinations such as Mexico City, Bangkok, or Bali.

Final Thoughts

Most digital nomads skip Africa entirely. They may believe the infrastructure isn’t good enough for digital nomad life. Some also believe that Africa is too dangerous. This really isn’t the case. There are plenty of great digital nomad destinations in Africa.

African cities can offer low costs of living, friendly locals, and interesting cultures. There are some excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. The continent also has some of the best beaches in the world. If you’re looking to try something a bit different, consider Africa for your next digital nomad destination.

One potential drawback is that Africa can be surprisingly expensive if you want to maintain a Western standard of living. Rent and restaurants can be pricey. The quality you get for your money is pretty low. If you’re looking to get value for your money, Africa isn’t the best destination.

There are many African cities that can offer a great quality of life for digital nomads. The best place to live really depends on your personal preference and your budget.
