Hire a chauffeur by the hour

Your own chauffeur and car for 2 to 12 hours. Go from meeting to meeting, see the sights or run a day of errands, and your chauffeur waits between stops.

  • 2 to 12 hours
  • As many stops as you like
  • Free cancellation, any time before pickup

Meetings and events

Several appointments across the city? Your chauffeur waits outside each one.

Sightseeing

Nairobi National Park, the baby elephants, the giraffes and Karen in one day. See things to do in Nairobi.

Shopping and errands

Malls, markets and appointments, with your bags safe in the car.

Day trips

Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate are under two hours away. Book a full day and come back the same evening.

Some days don't fit into a single ride. When you have several stops, or you don't know how long each one will take, it is easier to keep the same chauffeur for the whole day.

How it works

Choose By the hour on our booking form, pick your start place, date and time, and how many hours you need, from 2 to 12. You see your full price before you book. Each hour includes 30 km of driving, which covers a busy day around Nairobi.

On the day, your chauffeur picks you up and stays with you. Tell them where to go next as the day unfolds; there is no need to plan every stop in advance.
