The Best Safari Car Hire Experience in Kenya

A great safari starts with the right vehicle. At Jaetravel Expeditions, we offer professionally maintained 4x4s with pop-up roofs, unlimited mileage, and expert drivers — so you can focus on the wildlife, not the road.

Why Pop-Up Roof Vehicles Are Essential for Safari

Standard cars cannot enter national parks. Our Toyota Landcruisers and minivans feature pop-up roofs that allow standing viewing, 360° photography, and safe game viewing without leaving the vehicle — mandatory in predator-rich areas like Maasai Mara and Tsavo.

Accessible Safari Vehicles: Travel Without Limits

We are proud to offer Kenya’s only fleet of wheelchair-accessible safari Landcruisers. Features include:

  • Hydraulic side lift (up to 300kg)
  • Wide sliding doors and removable seats
  • Secure wheelchair tie-downs
  • Lowered floor for easy transfer

Perfect for travelers with mobility challenges, seniors, or families with strollers.

Photography & Filmmaking Vehicles

Our convertible photography vehicles are designed with input from BBC and National Geographic crews:

  • Full 360° open roof
  • Gimbal & tripod mounts
  • Bean bags and camera rests
  • Quiet electric mode for close approaches

Pickup Locations

Vehicles available from:

  • Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO)
  • Wilson Airport (WIL)
  • Nairobi CBD hotels
  • Maasai Mara airstrips
  • Mombasa Port
