Black Leopard 4x4 Hire is more than just a business, it’s a family legacy and a labour of love. Founded by siblings Nick and Livvy Foley, Black Leopard combines a passion for 4x4 vehicles and the outdoors that has been in their blood for generations.
The Foley Family Legacy: Nick and Livvy’s connection to 4x4s runs deep. Their grandfather, Peter Foley, founded Foley SV in the UK in 1966, specialising in Land Rover's. Their father, Paul Foley, later ran Foley's Africa 4x4 Garage and Livingstone 4x4 Hire in Zambia, where Nick and Livvy were raised. Surrounded by 4x4s and adventure from a young age, they grew up with an innate love for exploration and rugged vehicles.
The Inspiration Behind Black Leopard: During their time in East Africa, Nick and Livvy noticed a gap in the market for hiring fully equipped 4x4 vehicles. Unlike Southern Africa, where self-drive outfitted vehicles are common, East Africa lacked an easy, reliable way for adventurers to access safari-ready vehicles. This inspired them to create Black Leopard 4x4 Hire, a company dedicated to making the beauty of Kenyan and East African landscapes accessible to travellers on their own terms.
A Vision of Adventure: Starting with just a handful of vehicles, Nick and Livvy built a fleet that reflects their dedication to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. Today, Black Leopard 4x4 Hire is the largest option for self-drive safaris in Kenya, offering adventurers the freedom to explore iconic destinations with confidence.
Why Black Leopard Stands Out
Customised Safari Vehicles: Each vehicle is tailored for safari, featuring roof hatches, camping gear, and navigation tools.
Expert Support: Customers receive detailed briefings, route recommendations, and roadside assistance. Black Leopard also offers fully planned trips, including hotel bookings and itineraries, for those seeking a seamless travel experience.
Local Expertise and Connections: Leveraging years of experience in Kenya, Black Leopard has built strong relationships with local communities and businesses, ensuring travellers receive authentic and memorable safari experiences while contributing to the local economy.
Black Leopard 4x4 Hire embodies the spirit of exploration, creating unforgettable experiences for travellers while continuing the Foley family’s legacy of excellence in the 4x4 industry.
