You can travel all over Kenya by road, thanks to our extensive network of well-paved roads and highways. Before you hit the road, familiarize yourself with Kenyan traffic regulations.
In Kenya, traffic flows on the left side of the road. Be prepared to adjust if you’re used to driving on the right.
Yield to oncoming traffic on your right, especially at roundabouts and unmarked intersections.
An international driver’s license is recommended along with your valid home country license.
Kenya’s cities range from metropolitan business hubs to cities by the lake shore. Journey through each diverse city-scape to get a feel of the Kenyan urban scene.
Use caution, as road conditions can vary. Be aware of pedestrians and livestock, and avoid driving at night.
Seatbelts are mandatory for both driver and passengers in the front seat.
Speed limits vary depending on the road type. Generally, they range from 50 km/h (31 mph) in towns to 80 km/h (50 mph) on highways.
Look for designated parking areas and avoid blocking traffic flow. Pay attention to signage for restrictions.
