Private security escort in Kenya
Quick answer

Choose a private escort company that is registered under Kenya's private security regulations, can show how its staff are vetted and trained, explains its procedures in writing, and gives you a clear proposal. Be careful of providers who will not show a licence, cannot name their supervisors or promise things that sound too easy.
