Some of Our Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 14 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Halvard MidtunVerified 4x4 through the Kenyan bush We rented a hardtop landcruiser from the company to use on our tour around the region of Naivasha, Chuka and Mt. Kenya to look for snakes. The car was in good order and worked as stated. We had it delivered to Lake Nakuru and returned it pre flight on Nairobi Airport. The team followed us along the way and had continous contact with us to ensure everuthing worked for us as expected. They were all very nice and Hakim was an excellent contact to have along the way. The pricing is affordable compared to other companies, and they delivered on all points in my opinion.Posted on Tripadvisor Jose VVerified Kenya African Safaris and More! When I told my fiancee that I was going to rent a car and drive ourselves around Kenya, and do two safaris (OlPejeta and Amboseli) she thought I was crazy, and was understandably nervous. They drive opposite of us here in USA. I googled searched and found 4x4 Self Drive Cars for Hire and others. But picked them based on the reviews and their clear communication, nothing felt rushed. We landed in Nairobi, Jeremy and team were able to deliver the Land Cruiser diesel from 4X4 Self Drive Cars for Hire tonour airbnb location in Nairobi and it felt like the trip clicked into place. Jeremy added us to a WhatsApp group with his support team, which made everything feel personal. Any question that I had was answered immediately, via text, phone or video. Out on the outskirts, where the roads get rough, the Land Cruiser felt made for safaris and long stretches of uneven terrain. The pop-up safari roof was excellent for safaris, pictures, animal watching. We couldn’t have had a better vehicle. We hit a four-wheel drive hiccup, (might’ve been user error), and a mechanic within their network came out to my location in Nanyuki to help, fixed instantly. That kind of support felt like a safety net. I will always be thankful for the lifetime memories created for me and my fiancée on our first African adventure trip. Definitely recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor johannmaunzVerified Perfect 4WD-Bush-Camper for the round-trip Nairobi, 4WD-Bush-Camper, Toyota Land-Cruiser Prado with roof-top-tent, after first message quick reply, by E-Mail, selecting model and dates, reservation and booking, special thanks to Jeremiah, down-payment, balance and deposit, could be done online, quick and easy, camper was brought to hotel for take-over, with detailled instruction, briefing, inventory/check-list, on special request hands-on demonstration of set-up/down of roof-top-tent, special thanks to Denrick, not a brandnew, but old/used model, only some small technical issues, but reliable, no problems or breakdown, fully equipped, 2 sleeping bags, cooling box/fridge, 2 chairs, table, complete cooking set, big gaz-bottle with burner, additional ordered 2 pillows and awning (could need 2 lines and 2 pins for handling/fixing), the team created an individual WhatsApp-Group for contact to and support from back-office during the round-trip, rental-car-return at hotel, final check, more than satisfied, would rent again here, from my experience can really recommend so far, thanks to the team.Posted on Tripadvisor DWVerified Great experience We had a great time in Kenya with our off roader. The communication in the lead up to the trip was great, and we were given plenty of support during the trip. The Toyota Landcruiser we were given had everything necessary to handle the tough tracks in Masai Mara, and it was great for the rest of our trip around Kenya.Posted on Tripadvisor Eoghan PVerified Good experience, helpful crew Guys were sound, machine was good, guy called Denis gave us a good lesson on how to build the tent etc., very thorough.

He shared fascinating insights about the animals and culture, and made sure we had the best possible views for photos.
