    44 Car Hire For Safaris in Nairobi KenyaGroup SafarisGroup safaris are beneficial in terms of economy and companionship. The advantages end there. Shared

    facilities, and fixed schedules means you are mercy of your companions. Thrown out of window are

    privacy, convenience and freedom. Speed is a major killer of tourism experience. Fixed schedules

    ensure that you have limited time at any particular destination and speed is of essence. Hiring a 44 car

    on self drive allows you to explore the countryside in total privacy at your own pace. However if you

    desire to sit down, relax and enjoy the scenery, tow along a driver. With or without a driver having yourown 44 a major plus. You are free to go wherever at you own convenience and pace.

    4x4 Categories

    44 cars come in different sizes and shapes. Some

    are huge juggernauts-lorries which you have to

    climb up stairs to access. Others are small sedanswith full time 44. In between these two are whatI can call standard 4x4s as you know. These fall

    into two categories- the Off-Roads or Standard

    4x4s like land Rover Defenders and Toyota land

    cruiser 90; and the SUVs like the 44 land Toyota

    Land cruiser Prados. The Suvs though called off-

    roads do not have all that ground clearance

    necessary to handle deep ruts found on some of

    the African roads. They are better referred to as

    crossovers. An in between Sedan and 44. The

    original 4x4s are all whether. They are constructed with the word rough in mind. A Toyota land cruiser

    70 is able to make inroads through the bushes of Africa. Likewise the Land rover defender is equallytough. Both cars will climb up mountains or cross deserts without a sweet. They are ideal for tackling

    Ngorongoro and Northern Kenya.

    The Suv and the Off Roads

    The best car or the safari is either an off road like a defended or an suv like the prado or a safari mini

    van. Anything higher than that and you will be taking your photographs downwards. Anything lower

    and you will be taking your photos from a low level. The best photographic experience is when you are

    in an average car like defender or an SUV like a Prado. An Economy 44 Rav4 is also good for this.

    44 suvs are categorized into luxury and economy. Modern suvs come with all the trappings of luxury.

    Talk of climate controls, ABS and cruise control. If you want to tackle the bush, then try a Toyota

    prado or defenders. The economy 4x4s like the Rav4, the Pajero i,o, Honda CRV will take you to the

    parks with minimal corrugation.

    Mean/ Ugly Or Beautiful?Some cars look ugly. Others are mean. Yet others are ugly. In Kenya especially, sometimes ugly and

    mean is ideal. Take a case of Nairobi Mombas highway. Take Caution on that road!! It is owned by the

    trailers and you have no business having a small car along that stretch. In other words always give way

    to anybody who looks bigger than you even if they come to your lane.

    Having A Guide/ Driver Guide

    Having your 44 does not mean you doing away with a guide. A qualified guide is a major plus in all

    situations. In some situations having a guide is a matter of life and death irrespective of your expertise.

    Can you imagine deep sea fishing, mountain climbing, rock climbing without a guide? Likewise in the

    wild national parks of Africa a qualified driver guide is a major plus. Unlike in the zoos where animals

    are habituated, in the wilds of Africa, it is survival of the fittest. Animals are wild and enjoy freedom of

    way. If you obstruct an elephants path, it will either toss away your 44 or crush it with you inside.Might is not the only hazard you have to look out for. Harmless looking animals like insects can inflict

    lethal stings or bite not to mention the snake. Beware of cute looking things like wild cats. They are

    extremely dangerous especially when lactating. That is to say life is too short.

    In other words survival in the national park depends on your ability to predict animal behavior. You

    must know when to keep off. If you are not conversant with animal behavior hire a driver guide. Heknows when to approach animals. The only inconvenience you have to put up with is that some are not

    well conversant with positioning

    for photography.

    Car Handling Expertise

    Car handling expertise is equally

    important. When do you apply44? 44 is applied sparingly. I

    mean 44 is not to applied all the

    times or you will end up messing

    the car and paying for it. Forexample when do you press cruise

    control button? When do you

    press manual or power buttons in

    Rav4s? If you do not know when,

    and you value your money, leave

    them alone. Imagine telling the

    car to drive at 120kph uphill. Is

    that logical? You will mess up thecar engine and end up paying for it.

    Routine Daily Checks

    To make sure that your car is in tiptop conditions carry out routine daily checks. Routine daily checks

    involves morning checks and while on the way monitoring. Every morning make sure you check all the

    fluid levels of your car. Check the level of oil, transmission fluid and coolant levels. Many are days we

    have gone for rescue only to find that the culprit was a lose battery cable or worse still burnt out

    cylinder head gaskets. While on the way monitor the behaviour of the car. Frequently check the coolant

    gauge. The coolant gauge is normally at mid level. Any deviation above this means your car is getting

    hot and you should check the culprit. A small leakage of coolant will usually cause the gauge to go up.

    When you hire a safari car, make sure you choose a car for your ideal situation. Do not go for the

    smallest, biggest, the most ugly or mean. Just weight out the available options and choose the best.Important Car Hire Links
