Kenya safari | Hire your car including a private driver
Excited about your 4x4 road trip in Kenya, but do you feel unsure about driving? Then a private driver-guide is just what you need! Our team at Roadtrip Africa works with well-trained and truly lovable drivers, who know everything there is to know about Kenya.
Having a tour guide and driver all-in-1 is a great option if you want to remain in charge of your own holiday and itinerary, yet prefer someone else to do the driving. At the same time, being accompanied by a local driver-guide means learning more about the local culture and wildlife in Kenya while you travel. All our drivers are experienced tour guides and bush mechanics. No stress, difficulties or long hours behind the wheel; your local driver is there to facilitate and ease your travels.

Hiring a private driver in Kenya - what to expect
Your experienced driver-guide will get you to your destination safely and is responsible for keeping the car in good condition.
Besides driving you to where you want to go, your driver takes you on game drives in safari parks, finds the best picnic spots, and knows where to stop for snacks, an ATM, or just a great view. Yet, you remain in charge of your own holiday and itinerary.
As our drivers are keen to share their knowledge about Kenya, feel free to ask them anything. You'll return home with a deeper understanding of the country and will have made a new friend along the way.
All the drivers we work with are fluent in English. Looking for a German or French-speaking driver-guide for your road trip in Kenya? Let us know, we're happy to assist in making the most out of your holidays in Kenya!

"Ken made a 12-day journey through Kenya unforgettable with his kindness, deep knowledge of the country, and remarkable wildlife-spotting skills. Acting as driver, guide, storyteller, and companion, he created a safe and enjoyable atmosphere while offering thoughtful advice and sharing cultural insights. His sharp eye for spotting animals and his knack for creating special moments, like witnessing Mount Kilimanjaro in full view, added magic to the trip. His enthusiasm, dedication, and warm personality turned the adventure into a perfect and memorable experience."

"Our driver/guide, Robert, was not only immensely friendly, helpful, and patient, but also enriched our experience in unexpected ways.
While he made suggestions to alter our itinerary for the better, he never forced his opinion on us. The trip remained entirely ours and we always had the final say. He respected our privacy and was never pushy. Having a driving/guide made our Kenya trip so much more relaxing and enriching."

''Everything was perfect! The booking with the European office went very smoothly. Sam has been giving us good advices and was a pleasure to communicate with her.
Chris, our driver guide delivered above our expectations. Very knowledgeable about the local fauna and flora, mastering the timing so that we don’t have to. Making sure we are enjoying the experience at its best. Freeing us from all the worries such a trip can incur. Hakuna matata! We had many interesting conversations with Chris, going way beyond of just a Safari guide, always full of humor and good mood!''

''11 days on safari with an 8 year old….no problem since we used Roadtrip Africa and had Ken for our driver! The process to book a car was smooth, great communication the whole way. Where we were most lucky was having Ken as our driver. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and so helpful no matter what we needed to make the trip fun and safe. He thinks of everything. Asante Roadtrip Africa and asante Ken!!!!''
