Private security escort in Kenya
Quick answer

Route planning is the core of escort work. The team drives the route in advance at the same time of day, notes choke points, identifies alternatives, safe stops, hospitals and police posts, and agrees what happens if the route is blocked. Good planning means the trip itself is uneventful.
