Nomad Quest Kenya
Kenya is where wild adventure meets soulful beauty. From the golden plains of the Masai Mara to the emerald-green hills of the tea country and the turquoise shimmer of the Indian Ocean, every turn of the road feels like a new world waiting to be discovered.
Here, elephants wander beneath the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, lions doze in the tall grass, and vibrant markets pulse with color and rhythm. Drive from the heart of safari country to the laid-back shores of Diani or Lamu, where time slows down and the scent of spices drifts on the sea breeze.
Experiences from fellow Nomads
The car was in great shape when we picked it up and stayed reliable the entire time we had it.
Diana was super responsive whenever we reached out, but what really impressed us was when we had a minor issue Diana immediately arranged for a mechanic to come out to us. The whole thing was sorted quickly and we were back on the road in no time.
Would definitely rent from them again and recommend to anyone looking for reliable 4x4 car rental in Nairobi.
Unsafe, unprofessional and dishonest.
Our experience with this car rental company was nothing short of a disaster, and I strongly advise anyone considering them to look elsewhere. This company is not only highly unprofessional but dangerously negligent and in our view, bordering on fraudulent.
We have rented vehicles in multiple African countries under various conditions (Tanzania, Ghana, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa) and are well aware of what’s realistic to expect. But this was, by far, the worst experience we’ve ever had. Never rent from this company. The car broke down completely while driving: no steering, brakes, or acceleration, putting us in real danger. It was in terrible condition, badly maintained, and nothing like advertised. The steering was dangerously misaligned and ignored despite early reporting. Key safety features like wipers, trunk lock, and mirrors didn’t work. The engine kept running even after removing the key, making it useless for safaris. We weren’t allowed to test the car properly before departure: just a quick walk-around.
This company should not be in business.
Bad cars... not safe... there is just no service whatsoever
STAY AWAY FROM THIS
From the moment I contacted them, the staff at Nomad Quest Safaris were incredibly professional and attentive. They provided expert travel advice, helping me plan the perfect itinerary to explore Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes. Their commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable.
The Land Cruiser TX was in impeccable condition—reliable, comfortable, and well-equipped to handle the diverse terrains of Tanzania. Whether navigating the rugged paths of the Serengeti or cruising along the scenic routes near Mount Kilimanjaro, the vehicle performed flawlessly. It’s clear that Nomad Quest Safaris takes great pride in maintaining their fleet to the highest standards.
What truly set this experience apart was the combination of top-notch service and quality vehicles. The staff’s dedication to ensuring a memorable journey, coupled with the dependable Land Cruiser TX, made for an unforgettable safari adventure.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nomad Quest Safaris to anyone looking to explore Tanzania. Their exceptional service and well-maintained vehicles will undoubtedly enhance your travel experience. 
I recently rented a car from Nomad Quest Safaris and I couldn't be happier with the service! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and exactly as promised.
The vehicle was in perfect condition, clean, and matched the description online. No hidden surprises. Pricing was fair with no unexpected fees, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The team was friendly, responsive, and ensured a hassle-free experience. Special thanks to Anyango for the excellent assistance! Pick-up/drop-off was seamless, and all terms were transparent.
Definitely will rent a car from this company next time I'll be in Kenya!
