Witness the captivating event of about 1.5 million wildebeests and a big population of Zebras  migrate overland  in search for food  and water.  This event remains intact every year, and occurs between July and August following the rainy season.

Bird Watching

Kenya ranks among the first 20 countries destined for bird watching. The country holds a record of bird watch that you can spot about 342 species  within a day, representing about 3/4 of the bird species found in Africa making it the best place to be should you desire to go on a bird watching  holiday.

Various Palearctic migrants flock arrive in Kanya;s marine and inland shorelines between the months of October and February, while swallows, terns and waders are also common; yet between June and July weavers and bishops are in breeding plumage and many Southern African migrants visit.

Kenya’s birding destinations make excellent centers for bird watching such as Maasai Mara’s rosy-throated longclaw and magpie shrike; the Samburu for the rare shining sunbird and pink breasted lark; and Nairobi National Park for the northern pied-babbler and Pangani long claw. Kenya’s handful of endemics include the Tara River cisticola, the Aberdare cisticola; Hinde’s pied-babbler; William’s lark; Sharpe’s pipit; and Clarke’s weaver.

How To Rent A Car In Kenya Guide

  1. Renting A Car For A Solo or group in Kenya ?

If you are a fun of a minibus, Land cruiser extended, safari Land cruiser, by all means, You will have to hire a driver guide as well. It’s a decent way to see many destinations in Kenya if you don’t have a lot of time.

No planning, no driving, just sit back and let someone else do all the work!,

But if you’re traveling Solo, you prefer the challenge of independent travel which provides the true exploration, with no set schedule or timetable.

You will drive around many  Kenya destinations with the freedom to stop anywhere fun you happen to find as you drive around,  discovering places off-the-beaten path — that bus tours might miss.

If that’s the kind of traveler you want to be, then rent a car in Kenya is the way to go!

Another interesting bit of having a rental car is the ability to store luggage in the trunk, so you can explore cities with small travel backpacks rather than carrying  luggage and huge suitcase everywhere.

  1. Where To Rent Your Car In Kenya

The best site to book your car is www.selfdrivekenya.com. They have a wide selection of 4×4 rental fleets; Land cruiser Tx/Tz,  4×4 safari Land Cruiser extended, Land cruiser Lx, Nissan X-trail, Safari mini vans, coaster vans  and the Toyota Rav4 to help you enjoy your adventure at its best. This is the easiest way to rent a car in Kenya.

At Self drive Kenya, you get to enjoy more deals like car rental with rooftop tent, long term rentals, car hire with camping gear, car hire with pop up roof for game viewing and renting a car on one way basis, where there is no need to return the car at the Initial position, where you picked it from.

Some of my the favorite Kenyan drives so far are; exploring the beautiful Lake Nakuru for birding, visiting the Masai mara for the Big five, while around the city, you can visit the Sheldrick Elephant trust and the Giraffe Monor so as to get near the Giraffes and an epic photography road trip along the rift valley plains and the Mombasa beaches.

  1. Car Rental Insurance In Kenya

Most Kenya companies out of which www.selfdrivekenya.com is part, have their fleet  insured under a policy of motor vehicle insurance as per the kenya Insurance act. The Insurance only covers head collision, theft and fire for the car, but not personal life insurance for the person renting the car, therefore you are urged to come handy with life insurance from your home country.

However this same Insurance does not cater for any damage caused by negligence

such as driving when drunk, wheels/trims, cigarette burns, Tyres, tools, windscreen, side mirrors or any burned vehicle part to the interior of the vehicle, radio /MP4 screen, reversing camera, lights, body parts, engine parts or any other parts related to the vehicle accessories etc, are not covered by insurance and is the full responsibility of the hirer for any loss of any damage to the vehicle, plus

actual towing storage impound and other related expenses. If at all the vehicle is driven under your driver’s negligence: you shall be debited for any damage caused to the engine/ battery, radiator or cylinder head due to your negligence.

When you meet an accident, you are urged to instantly  notify the police in-case it is another party’s guilt is to be ascertained, or if any person is injured.  This is because it  is the operator who will claim the insurance for the damages caused to the car.  Most of the excess insurance charged by tour operator companies , usually depend on the type of car say;

Toyota Rav4 USD 500

Land cruiser Prado TZ & TX 1500 USD

Luxury jeeps: LX 7.0 Series, V8, GX, TXL land cruisers Excess insurance is $ 2000USD.

The hirer will comply with the terms and conditions of the insurance policy and pay the owner any excess in the event of the claim

Rooftop Tents and camping gears are also not part of the insurance in case of any damage, therefore client shall pay an amount similar to the manufacturer price of $1000

     4.Gas Prices

Gas (petrol) prices in Kenya keep on fluctuating, depending on situations. Currently in Kenya the fuel seem expensive to locals, but remember that the rest of the world quotes gas in Liters, not Gallons. The prices as of June 20th 2022, gas costs about $5.129 per gallon ($1.355 per liter) while diesel is , $4.516 per gallon ($1.193 per liter), hence a Diesel car will always save you some money on gas.

     5.Automatic vs Manual

In most cases, Automatic cars are more expensive to rent in Kenya than manual cars, which you must specify what type you want when reserving.

And if you have never driven a manual jeep before, then don’t hesitate to hire one in Kenya, but otherwise, you can hire a driver with knowledge of a manual. However, it is more safe to get an automatic, even if it costs more.

       6.One-Way Rentals

In most cases, most clients prefer to pick their rental cars from either Jommo Kenyatta international Airport or hotel of their residence, and return to the same spot after their road trip, while others would love to go one way, that the destination of pick up is different from the drop off point, which then calls for a one way additional fee for one way car rental. These fees are even more expensive if you want to drop the car off in a different country like Tanzania or Uganda because, you will need to Pay for the cross border license — which can add a few hundred USD to actual price.

      6. Book In Advance

It is always advisable to book the car  early enough, prior to the arrival date/pick up date so as to get a good deal especially if you want to travel to popular destinations. Six months early seems to be the sweet spot for the best rates.

Consider going on your Kenya road trip during the peak tourist seasons, or off-season to get affordable rental car rates.

When crossing the border from Kenya to Tanzania, or Kenya to Uganda by car, the rental companies often charge a fee (COMESA charge) to cross borders with the cars, ranging between $50 to $200.

      7.Rental Car Requirements In Europe

Self Drive Kenya like any other car rental company in Kenya has their own rules when it comes to renting a car  for self drive or with a driver.  We usually just want the driver to be at least 21 years of age, photocopy a valid passport and your home English driver’s license, although the International driving license would be much better.

      8. Driving Laws Tourists Should Know

In Kenya, Driving is always on the left, therefore it’s illegal to make a right turn on red lights, and it is always advisable you observe the road rules and the lights. Before you start driving in Kenya, research the meanings of different street signs

    Traffic Camera Speed Traps

Although many countries have automatic traffic cameras, Kenya today relies on both the automatic traffic cameras to enforce their speed limits and the highway patrol officers. Therefore proper driving and keen following of the traffic rules will save few expensive speeding tickets!

    Children’s Car Seat Requirements

If you’re coming on a self drive road trip with young kids, make sure to rent or bring your own child seat or booster seat. Children between the ages of 2 and 12 are required to use an appropriate restraint in cars.

     9.Extra Advice For Renting A Car In Europe

Parking can be a pain in Nairobi city and other buzy towns of Eldoret, Nakuru, Mombasa, Malindi among others, as there usually isn’t a lot of space (if any at all). Therefore rent Self drive Kenya  4×4 cars to make parking easier, and parking on the outskirts of large cities.

Don’t book our cars without reading company rules and regulations.

Use Google Maps on your smartphone for directions. Bring your own hands-free adapter and buy a Kenyan SIM card for your phone at the airport. Just be aware that Google Maps isn’t always accurate some times.

    10.Accident & Breakdown Information

The Kenya Emergency Phone Number is 112, or 911, or 999.

However if your car simply breaks down, and no one is injured, its probably better to call us because you are guaranteed a 24/7 road assistance

Lastly, enjoy your Kenyan road trip with Self drive Kenya, as you proceed to explore small villages, ancient castles, lush mountains of Kenya, and coastal areas of Kenya in our rental car which is definitely the right choice for us.

Foods to boost the immune system and improve general health

March 17, 2022 By Health News Comments Off

What we eat will directly affect our health. The body needs vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, and other nutrients essential for the body and well-being.

At the same time, our body is constantly plagued by several bacteria and viruses. And, if the immune system is weakened, we get sick.

A weakened immune system can have several causes: stress, undernourishment, chronic diseases, etc. Here in this article, we will look at 11 foods that can boost your immune system – and also improve your general health and well-being.

And it is precisely this component that is beneficial to your health. Indeed, it has powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties. (allicin also gives garlic its characteristic pungent odor.) So, even if the smell is not to everyone’s taste, you can easily enjoy the benefits of garlic by adding it to garnish your sauce, etc.

1. Beef
BeefYes quite! If we talk about it, it’s because of its high zinc content. In fact, zinc deficiency is one of the most frequent nutritional deficiencies. However, in recent years, more and more people have changed their eating habits. For example, they become vegetarians. Or they decide to stop eating beef (or other red meats, by the way).

It is not surprising that zinc deficiency is one of the main reasons why you get sick. Zinc is a metal that strengthens our immune system, but it’s not only found in red meat. Although in smaller quantities, these other foods also contain zinc: oysters, milk and yogurt, poultry, and pork.

2. Mushrooms
Some varieties of mushrooms strengthen the immune system. They act on the body by stimulating the production of white blood cells. Fungi increase the production of cytokines – molecules that fight infections. They also contain polysaccharides essential to the immune system.

But beware: not all mushrooms have the same content of cytokines and polysaccharides! Choose oyster mushrooms with oyster mushrooms.

But the best is to consume Asian mushrooms such as shiitake, maïtake or reishi. These three fungi of Asian origin are easily found in many countries. You can find it in France, fresh or dried, in organic stores or stores selling Asian products.

3. Sweet potato
The immune system is not just limited to the different components of the blood. It also includes the organs and in particular, the skin.

If we consider the size, the skin is the most important organ of the human body. This means that it is also the biggest defense between the body and bacteria/viruses.

Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin. For your vitamin A intake, we recommend sweet potato. Sweet potato has a high beta-carotene content.

This pigment is transformed into vitamin A and contributes to the formation of the connective tissue of the skin. You can vary your vitamin A intake by eating other foods with considerable beta-carotene content: melon, carrot, pumpkin, etc.

4. Cauliflower Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower:
Most notably, they all contain glutathione, a natural remedy for viruses. Basically, these 3 foods are beneficial to the general health of the body. But, they are also a great source of choline. This essential nutrient repels bacteria from the body, keeps cells functioning, and improves the health of the digestive system.
5. Fish
We cannot stress enough about the nutritional importance of this food. Fish, like oysters, lobster, crab, and clams, can help the body produce cytokine. Do you remember the cytokine? It has been talked about as one of the benefits of mushrooms.

6. Garlic
It is one of the foods most recognized for its beneficial properties, including for fighting bacteria and viruses. Garlic is part of the Allium genus – there are also leeks, onions, cultivated garlic, shallots, spring onions, and chives. But, what sets garlic apart from these other foods is its high allicin content.

7. Tea
The secret of the immune benefits of tea is its high amino acid content. Green tea and black tea both have an abundance of theanine (not to be confused with theine ).

This substance is important to the body because it will supply it with interferon. And it’s this protein that will fight viruses (especially the flu virus) – even in teas that do not contain caffeine/theine!

These proteins are of great help in eradicating the flu virus. And let’s not forget that fish and shellfish are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Are you looking for recipes to prepare fish? We suggest our hake filet with lemon sauce in the oven or our cod crumble.
8. Grapefruit
The benefits of citrus fruits have been known for a long time. No need to detail the virtues of vitamin C, which is found in grapefruits, oranges, lemons, etc.

However, it should be noted that red grapefruit has a particularly high content of flavonoids. These pigments are an excellent source of antioxidants and play an important role in strengthening the immune system.

9. Honey
Honey has several benefits. It can relieve your sore throat by coating it with a protective layer. Besides, it is packed with antioxidants and can provide effective antimicrobial protection. The benefits of honey are many. You can discover some of them in our article: 12 Honey-Based Grandmother Remedies.

10. Yogurt
Did you know that there is a difference between a yogurt that helps digestion and yogurt that strengthens your immune system? The difference lies in a lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus reuteri.
