Hundreds of thousands of travellers flock to Kenya each year to revel in the land’s unique safari opportunities, breath-taking beauty and enchanting culture. Despite on-going allegations of corruption and ill-practice within the government, Kenya’s property market and overall economy are certainly heading in the right direction. Rent yields are on a slow upward trajectory, but aren’t climbing nearly as fast as average property values across Kenya’s key markets. Buying into Kenya is surprisingly easy and the country’s main tourist hubs represent some excellent opportunities for short-term vacation lets. However, taxes are also comparatively high – rental income tax is capped at a flat rate of 30 per cent for all international investors.
