Kenya has been ranked as the top country in Africa by expatriates to get started and settle due to language, ease of finding housing and cost of homes. This gives the East African nation an edge as an attractive destination for companies seeking to enter the continent. 

Kenya was ranked ninth globally, placing it first on the continent ahead of South Africa (28th) and Egypt (37th). The Expat Essentials Index by InterNations ranks the best and worst places for professionals based on housing, language, digital life, and local administration.
