$2500 USD can be more than enough or not enough depending on ur lifestyle. If you have enough capital to buy/build a house and vehicle outright then $2500 USD should be enough providing you don't have an expensive lifestyle. If you are have capital for investments, there are plenty of opportunities which can be another source of income for you.

If, however, you plan to rent as well as having expenses like several staff, expensive shopping habits, eating out etc... $2500 might not be enough.

I have found really nice places in Dar for $800 USD per month providing you don't want to live in OysterBay (you can get fully furnished places too). You can get a housegirl for as little as $20 USD per month with room and board and food can be a minimal cost if she cooks local food.

I guess it really all depends on what u are planning to do...

Let me know if you need any more info!

Hi!
How are you?
As someone wrote you, 2500 usd may not be enough if you wish to live among other expatriates in Msasani, Mikocheni a or b. Count on no less than 1500 usd for rent.
I can help you finding a house or apartment for rent, or a plot to build your house.
Let me know!
