4×4 Safari Vehicle Hire and Rental in Kenya

At Explorer Kenya Safaris, we provide 4×4 safari vehicle hire and rental. We have a fleet of 25  4 x 4 safari land cruisers and safari customised vans for hire . Each vehicle is accompanied by an experienced safari guide who is also a professional driver. Our vehicle licences require the car to be driven by our driver guides. This is because the vehicles are licenced as tour service vehicles (TSV) under Kenyan law. Therefore, our experienced safari driver guides must drive the cars with the necessary tour guide licence. Our guides have between 10 and 35 years of experience guiding wildlife safaris. We can also assist you in booking your hotels and arranging your safari itinerary. The service can be included as part of your safari vehicle hire at no extra cost. If you need a self-driving car hire vehicle, we cannot help you.

4×4 Safari Vehicle Hire – Car Rental for Safari Customized 4×4 Land Cruisers, Jeeps, and Safari Vans

We have a wide range of safari vehicles that can withstand all-terrain. Vehicles include safari mini-vans with a top hatch for easy game viewing, 4 x 4 all-terrain safari land cruisers, and 25 seat shuttle buses for groups.

All our safari vehicles are customised for the rough safari terrain and are well serviced and in excellent condition to ensure they do not break down when you are on your safari in Kenya . The safari vehicles are also fitted with long-range high-frequency radio so that driver-guides can communicate in parks when searching for wildlife on game drives. Note we are a destination management company (DMC) based in Kenya, so we can also assist you in planning your safari in Kenya and Tanzania at no extra cost, even when all you need is to hire a safari vehicle. We will advise on the best places to visit depending on the safari season and the most appropriate places to stay when in or near parks for the best safari experience. We can also help you book accommodation and advise on park fee payments, and if it’s all too much work, we can arrange the whole safari for you as a package depending on your requirements. We will work together to ensure you get the best experience possible when planning and when on your safari in Kenya and Tanzania.

4×4 Car Hire Kenya – Types of Safari Vehicles Available for Hire

There are five types of vehicles available for hire for your safari in Kenya and Tanzania. These are

• eight seat 4×4 Land Cruisers
• seven seat 4×4 Land Cruisers
• five seat 4×4 Land Cruisers
• eight seat safari vans
• 25 seat shuttle buses

Each vehicle has its advantages and use. Groups mainly use the shuttle buses for transfers within cities since they are not made for rough terrain. The other four types of vehicles are specially made for safari and have pop-up roofs which open up vertically to ensure you can stand on a game drive and take photos of animals and birds while in national parks and game reserves. They have large slide windows that you can open and enjoy your game drive in the park if you get tired of standing to use the pop-up roof. Some seven and five seat Land Cruisers are also customised specially for wildlife photography. They have canvas roll-up windows which, your driver-guide will roll up before a game drive for an expansive view and easy manipulation of your cameras (especially with long photography lenses!) when taking photos. These vehicles are ideal for wildlife photography safaris. Note bean bags can be provided free of charge – on request – if you need one to stabilise your camera when taking photos.

The other four types of vehicles are specially made for safari and have pop-up roofs which open up vertically to ensure you can stand on a game drive and take photos of animals and birds while in national parks and game reserves.

Some seven and five seat Land Cruisers are also customised specially for wildlife photography.

Facts about Kenya

Safari roads in kenya, roads in kenya, especially safari roads in national parks and reserves often tend to be in generally poor condition and are a challenging drive, which is why self drive car hire in kenya is not recommended by us. see photos below of typical road conditions while on safari. while not all road require this, but it is best to rent four wheel drive vehicles in kenya for longer safaris. for those traveling to tanzania, click here for car and driver hire in tanzania in case you wish to visit destinations such as serengeti and ngorongoro. animals in kenya can also be an added hazard so local knowledge of the roads as well as familiarity in wild animal behaviour, something that our driver-guides are trained to anticipate, is a huge advantage. for travelers who only visit nairobi and will not be traveling to other parts of kenya, please refer to nairobi car rental for hiring or renting cars in the city..

Renting a Car in Kenya for your Safari

Many travelers nowadays prefer the flexibility of planning their own Safari itinerary, booking accommodation online and then hiring a vehicle for the tour. Nonetheless, car rental in Kenya for your safari is best well thought through for obvious reasons. First, you want to ensure you rent a reliable and suitable vehicle at a good price, easier said than done, as safari vehicles are inherently subjected to higher wear and tear. Second, the vehicle supplier from whom you rent the car ought to be established, licensed and above board. Lastly, keep in mind that self drive car rental in Kenya is not for everyone. The process and paperwork is involving and deposits are required to cover for damage, accident or theft. Standards of driving in Kenya are vastly different to other parts of the world and roads are usually in poor state away from the main highways. Getting stuck, breaking down or risking an accident are not uncommon. The best option for many tourists is to hire a safari vehicle with a Driver-Guide included at a minor additional fee, as low as USD 25 per day, as this avoids you being responsible for damage, accidents or theft of the vehicle while offering the advantage of an expert Driver-Guide, making the trip stress free so you can sit back and enjoy the experience. Note also that self drive cars typically do not have a game viewing roof while proper Safari vehicles have these built in, making all the difference in viewing wildlife in the parks. Listed below are options for hiring a Vehicle with a Driver - Guide for your Masai Mara or Kenya Safari.

Safari Tour Minibus ( Van )

Also known as Safari Tour Vans, these vehicles are the main stay of the Kenyan tourist industry and are the most common mode of transport for safari tourists, not least because they offer the best value due to lower pricing compared to the other main vehicle on offer below. Safari tour vans typically seat maximum of 8 passengers though 6 is the ideal number for optimal comfort. These vans come with safari customized features such as pop-up game viewing roofs, UHF radio call, individual seats , in some cases with limited recline and cooler boxes. Though most safari tour vans are two wheel drive, some variants come with 4 WD, though by and large the two wheel drive variants perfom well enough and most roads on the typical Kenya safari circuit are now motorable enough to not require 4WD unless in adverse conditions or in cases where the location if off-circuit.

Typically most lodges and camps in the core Masai Mara National Reserve and surrounding conservancies are accessible using Safari Tour Vans. Certain conservancies outside of the the reserve however only allow entry to 4x4 vehicles.

Landcruiser Jeep 4x4

The other dominant type of Safari vehicle in Kenya and East Africa is the 4x4 Landcruiser Safari Jeep. These are often Toyota Landcruiser Jeeps converted into Safari vehicles with the addition of pop up game viewing roofs [ front and main], safari customization, and addition og UHF radio calls and suitable seating. Some vehicles also come with air conditioning and electric cooler boxes. Safari Jeeps are more capable off road and marginally more comfortable as well over rougher sections of road, but will cost significantly more to hire than safari tour vans.

Seating varies from an optimal 6 passengers per vehicle to a maximum of 9 passengers with additional seats fixed into the vehicle to accommodate more people. It should be noted that there are 2 sub types of these vehicles, some that have closed sides, hence suitable for highway travel, and others that are open-sided, suitable for use only for game drives within various reserves and parks, meaning that they are stationed here permanently, and cannot be used for say travelling from Nairobi to Masai Mara. These open-sided jeeps are often a part of Fly-in Safaris, keeping in mind that not all lodges or camps have open-sided jeeps, as some still use closed vehicles even for their flying packages.

My niece at 52 years old just learned her breast cancer has recurred. She is starting chemo next week. I would like to give her something to wish on to get through chemo and to anticipate the rest of her life.

Two possible itineraries are under consideration at present:

Through Expert Africa "Black Kite Safari"

Starts: JKI Airport Nairobi

1 night The Emakoko - Kenya Full Board & Activities

3 nights Elsa's Kopje - Kenya Full Board & Activities

3 nights Elephant Pepper Camp - Kenya Full Board & Activities

3 nights Tortilis Camp - Kenya Full Board & Activities

Ends: JKI Airport Nairobi

I have written but not heard yet and asked about the possibility of Giraffe Manor .

Through Kicheche

Conservancy Safari ( Laikipia & Mara )

7 Days / 6 Nights

Ol Pejeta Conservancy

•Mara North Conservancy

Kicheche could arrange to add 3 nights at Amboseli before or after and would handle all of the internal arrangements in Kenya. If I bring everyone (5) they can share the family suite. They would have exclusive vehicle use.

There are 3 different camps through Kicheche: Mara, Valley & Bush. Bush's open dates are not as convenient for college calendar.

Could anyone offer insight on differences between the camps or on preferences between these two alternate itineraries?

I had hoped to include a night at Giraffe Manor. The concept is so appealing as a first experience before the safaris. I probably could do that through either company but the availability dates at Giraffe Manor are difficult if the larger party goes since their son will most likely have an internship ending ~Aug 11th (based on this year's dates).

Do you think that experience is special enough to weigh heavily on planning. Lastly a year after chemo therapy what are your thoughts on a couples trip vs a family trip. Realizing it is a very personal decisions I'd appreciate thoughts on whether my niece be best healed & rejuvenated in a smaller group?

Correction. Apparently the two camps included with Kicheche are Ol Pejeta Conservancy & Kicheche Laikipia.

Knowing both of these companies, I am sure you can absolutely tweak these itineraries to your preference if needs be. However, looking at both of them, I think I prefer the variety of the Expert Africa one. I also really love Meru, it is a gorgeous park. Personally at that time of year I might be inclined to go for Lewa or Samburu over Amboseli which can get a bit dry and dusty in August.

I mean, that sounds like an extremely nice safari and one I'd be delighted to go on personally, so yes, that would be a lovely flow.

Jgalt, since Alexandra has given you great advice, why not ask her to provide a quote on your safari.

That is a good idea,

I agree, I would ask Alex if she can arrange something too, her advice here is sound. Expert Africa can also do well by you.

I’ve stayed at all the Kicheche camps except for Mara. My absolute favorite of them is Valley. I think it’s an underrated gem, from staff to location and guiding, it is my favorite. Kicheche Laikipia is in Ol Pejeta and is also very strong. I wouldn’t hesitate to put both of those together in an itinerary again.

Thank you. I have written to Alexandra and asked her to make a plan for them and include suggestions for a third camp that would complement either the Elewana or Kicheche camps above. This will be a special trip for my niece and I am grateful for your feedback and Alexandra's in drafting it.
