Best time to visit and rent a car in Kenya
A road trip Kenya is possible throughout the year. However, for the best and hassle free self drive Kenya expedition, we recommend during the dry season of the year.
During this time, roads in the park are less slippery and dry making it easier for you to drive through the trails as you observe the various animals as they roam in the park.
You can as well visit during the wet season/rainy season of the year. However, during this time you will need to have hired a stronger 4×4 car as these are strong enough to go through the tough terrains in any part of Kenya.
Self driving in Kenya: Guidelines to follow
Self drive or guided trips in Kenya are possible and you will entirely enjoy your road trip but for a memorable adventure, we recommend adhering and having these in mind.
Drive on the Left: This is majorly for travelers used of the roads in the US and Europe. If you are not sure of your driving, we recommend having a guide the first day in Nairobi before you hit the road.
Don’t drive at night: This is for your own safety. Between unlit roads, wandering livestock, and deep potholes, you should aim to be at your destination by 6:00 PM.
The 4×4 Factor: While highways like the A109 (Nairobi-Mombasa) are paved, park entries and rural shortcuts require a high-clearance 4×4 (Land Cruiser or Hilux).
Buy a local SIM: Why we recommend having a local simcard is because for easier communication between our company and you as you road trip Kenya. You will as well buy internet bundles so that you utilize online maps to navigate easily around Kenya.
Speed Limits: while driving on highways you are expected to drive upto 80km/hr and if you are driving through towns, you will drive up to 50km/hr. Any violation of the speed limits, you will be subjected to a fine by the traffic police.
