Many of the lines and circuits require 4-wheel drive, especially in the rain. Driving on the left side of the road. Parks and reserves are open for private and rental cars / vehicles.
Many travelers prefer to rent a car with driver. Driving in Kenya is hard work. After, as drivers in Kenya, who knows the country, the roads, and often a lot about the wildlife, you can access your relaxation, if not your privacy. The additional cost of a driver is usually very reasonable.
Driving in Kenya Safari
Driving in Kenya is a challenge. Drivers are often impatient and careless. Many vehicles are old, and emission standards unknown. Most notorious are Matatu-painted, blaringly loud minivan taxis, which all seem to think they are "King of the Road" and be completely invincible.
They often have to slow for shaking and often unmarked speed bumps. You may also encounter police checkpoints, where you must wind between lethal metal spikes. As a rule, only commercial vehicles are to access these checkpoints. Goats in the road, a herd of cattle on the highway or even a real "zebra stripes" can enliven your journey. Try to make sure you reach your goal before the night-time ride in the night is even worse than in the day and not advisable.
They must also deal with bad roads. Many asphalt roads are in poor repair with blow holes and rough edges, although they are now patched, and new made. Dirt roads often 4x 4 vehicles, especially on rocky hillsides and in the rainy season.
Traveling from one place to another usually takes longer than you would expect from the planned mileage. It can also be much more un-comfortable and dusty, as expected for you.
There are two ways to deal with these problems. Either you can count on Kenya travel the road with a sense of adventure, admire the scenery, the ride bumps, brush the red dust, and think: "This is certainly more fun than rush hour traffic home!" Or "You can fly. We propose to fly for at least a portion of your safari, if you can afford it. Game drives can be found on the taste of the bumps and dust.

The former Kenya Railways, is the only train travel frequently by tourists. It was an overnight sleeper between Nairobi and Mombasa. Even if some one of the world's great railway journeys, the equipment is old and the romance is mandatory. Since most of the journey is at night, you see something from your train window, but you save on a penalty. Train meals are for the adventure. The first meeting is cleanest.
