If you are planning to do any off road driving or travel in the parks, rent a four wheel drive vehicle. Make sure the vehicle is in good condition before leaving. You don t want to break down once outside of the cities. Its a good idea to have a tow rope, jacking equipment, and spare cans of fuel. Don t drive alone.
Safety comes in numbers.
The poor state of many roads precludes driving at night. In the parks, stay in your vehicle. In some places, leaving your vehicle is not allowed since the wild animals can be very dangerous. Always take out collision damage insurance. Driving Driving in Kenya is on the left, giving way to traffic from the right at intersections.
