“Landed at Ukunda Airstrip for a Diani beach holiday and the Bamm Tours driver was right there. He helped with all our bags, had cold water in the car, and knew exactly which resort we were going to. In under 10 minutes we were at the hotel. Perfect start to a perfect holiday.”
★★★★★
“My flight into JKIA was delayed by two and a half hours. I was bracing myself for the usual headache of rebooking a taxi. But Bamm Tours had already been tracking the flight — the driver was still there waiting, no complaint, no extra charge for the first hour. That kind of reliability is rare. Outstanding service.”
★★★★★
“We were a group of 14 arriving at Mombasa Airport for a coastal retreat. Bamm Tours arranged a 14-seater Hiace that was there waiting when we landed. The driver knew every beach hotel on the North Coast and got us to Nyali in 25 minutes. Seamless organisation — I will use them for all future Coast trips.”
★★★★★
“I landed at JKIA at 1 AM after a long flight from London and was genuinely worried about transport. Bamm Tours had a driver at arrivals holding my name board before I even cleared customs. The car was clean, the driver was professional, and I was at my Westlands hotel in 35 minutes. I have used them for every Nairobi arrival since.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I hired a car from Nairobi to Nakuru for a family function and the experience was seamless. The vehicle was ready at my Nairobi location at 6am, the driver knew the A104 route well, and we arrived in Nakuru comfortably ahead of schedule. Bamm Tours made what could have been a stressful journey completely stress-free.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We needed dependable long-term car hire in Nakuru for our field operations across the Rift Valley. Bamm Tours assigned us a dedicated driver who understood our schedules and never let us down — not once in three months. For any organisation working in Nakuru, these are the people to trust.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Our church hired a bus in Nakuru for our annual retreat to Lake Bogoria and Bamm Tours delivered beyond our expectations. The bus was comfortable, the driver was patient with our large group, and we were picked up and dropped off exactly on time. We have already booked them again for our Christmas outing.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Bamm Tours handled all our wedding car hire in Nakuru and I did not stress about transport for a single moment. The buses for our guests arrived early, the bridal SUV was immaculate, and the drivers were so well presented. If you are planning a wedding or event in Nakuru, these are the people to call.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We booked a safari van hire in Nakuru for a game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park, and it was the highlight of our entire Kenya trip. The pop-up roof, the experienced driver who knew exactly where the rhinos were — absolutely worth every shilling. Bamm Tours made it effortless from the first WhatsApp message.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I needed a reliable car hire in Nakuru for a week of client meetings across the CBD and industrial area. Bamm Tours had a professional driver at my hotel by 7 am every single day — punctual, courteous, and the vehicle was spotless. Best car hire company in Nakuru, no question.”

Bamm Tours requires a valid Kenyan driving licence or a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) for foreign visitors.
Drivers must be between 29 and 70 years old with a minimum of four years of active driving experience.
A national ID or valid passport is also required, alongside full contact details and next-of-kin information. For visiting non-Kenyans, a confirmed hotel or accommodation booking voucher plus airline tickets showing entry and exit from Kenya are additionally required. Presenting all documents at the time of booking speeds up the process and guarantees a smooth vehicle handover on collection day.
Kenya’s major roads — including the A104, A2, and the Nairobi Expressway — are well-maintained and clearly signposted, making self drive very accessible for international visitors.
Kenya drives on the left side of the road. Bamm Tours provides every self drive client with a fully insured vehicle and a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) for peace of mind. Your personal liability in the event of an accident is capped at 10% of the vehicle’s value — the insurance covers the rest. Bamm Tours further recommends fuelling exclusively at Shell or Total petrol stations to protect the vehicle and avoid any liability issues from substandard fuel.
No.
For Safari Vans, we always recommend hiring a Toyota Hiace Tour Van, a Land Cruiser Safari Van or an Overland. This is mainly because they have a pop-up roof that is ideal fo photophy of the wild animals in the park.
Secondly, please note that the Masai Mara National Reserve requires 4×4 vehicles for entry. Of course, standard saloons are not suitable for park interiors. Our team will advise you on the best vehicle for your specific safari destination, whether it’s Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, Lake Nakuru, or Samburu, at the time of booking.
The minimum rental period for self drive hire at Bamm Tours is three days. Any hire of less than two days must be accompanied by a professional driver.
That is to say that self-drive is not available for very short one-day rentals. One full day is calculated on a 24-hour basis, and the vehicle must be collected and returned during normal business hours.
Extended hours beyond the agreed return time are charged at KES 500 per hour, depending on the vehicle type.
Weekly and monthly options are available at progressively discounted rates, making longer rentals significantly more cost-effective for expats, consultants, and long-stay visitors.
Fuel is not included in Bamm Tours’ self-drive rates. Vehicles are collected and must be returned at the same fuel level; either empty or full, depending on how the car is issued.
Bamm Tours strongly recommends using Shell or Total petrol stations throughout your hire period. Insurance, however, is covered through a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which protect against accident damage and theft.
Your personal excess liability is capped at 10% of the vehicle’s value. Note that CDW does not cover damage to tyres, bumpers, headlights, interiors, wheels, undercarriage, roof, or windscreen — these remain the hirer’s responsibility.
One-way self-drive hire between cities is available on request at Bamm Tours.
Clients planning intercity one-way trips — such as Nairobi to Mombasa, or Nairobi to Eldoret — should inform the team at the time of booking so that the correct vehicle, insurance cover, and one-way fee arrangement can be confirmed in advance. The price of a one-way rental applies, and it depends on the type of vehicle hire.
Cities currently served include Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, and Nanyuki. Vehicle delivery within Nairobi is available at a flat fee of KES 1,000 for clients who prefer the car to be brought directly to their location.
In the event of a mechanical issue, the team dispatches assistance promptly. Should the vehicle be beyond roadside repair, a replacement is arranged to keep your journey on track.
Clients are strongly advised to contact the Bamm Tours team immediately via WhatsApp or phone the moment any issue arises. It is also important to note that the hirer must not hand over the vehicle to any other driver not registered with Bamm Tours — doing so voids the insurance cover and makes the hirer fully liable for any resulting damage or loss.
Adding a professional Bamm Tours driver to your existing self drive hire is straightforward. Driver costs are KES 3,000 per day within Nairobi, covering 06:00 hrs to 18:00 hrs.
For all other locations across Kenya, the driver rate is KES 5,000 per day from 06:00 hrs to 19:00 hrs, exclusive of the driver’s meals and accommodation. Overtime beyond these hours is charged at KES 1,000 per hour up to midnight for both Nairobi and upcountry engagements.
All Bamm Tours drivers are professionally vetted, punctual, and familiar with both city and upcountry routes across Kenya.

An additional refundable deposit equivalent to one day’s hire rate is collected on the day and returned upon vehicle inspection at return.
