Having a driver in Kenya

I have been reading a lot about driving conditions in Kenya and was wondering how much having a personal driver will improve your traveling?

Hi there,
Are you looking at Monthly or per day rates ?

Thank you

ihave a car hire company i can give you one drive at 250$ per month

can I be able to secure drivers job on a monthly salary

I would recommend hiring a driver at least for the first two weeks. Then you will be able to judge whether you wish to continue with a driver or start driving yourself. Watch the YouTube documentary: "Don't Drive Here: Nairobi" - youtube.com/watch?v=p-jqmOb6GrI

It would help a lot. I know of a young reliable man who is looking for a job as a driver. His previous employer will be more than willing to give him a reference if you wish.

Hi, you can find good drivers, but you need take your time for find a corect person. Take information from people that you know, check drivinglisence, check if he has his own car, and insurance. Speak with people and ask info.

Thank you all for replying.

I will have a car and driver included in my package. Wanted to establish if that makes traveling easier if i dont drive myself.
