30th wedding-anniversary dream vacation in Kenya

The 11-day private jeep-Safari trip with our driver&guide Francis through Buffalo Springs Nat. Reserve, Samburu, Sweetwaters/Ol Pejeta, Solio Ranch and Rhino Orphanage, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East is an outstanding experience in our lives with countless unforgettable memories.
The trip was quite exhausting, but thanks to our friendly, upbeat and always good-humored driver Francis it was an absolute highlight.
Francis showed us the big five (incl. Leopard 2x, but unfortunately the head was covered, too bad). And in Samburu the special five! Thanks to Francis' good eye, he often showed us animals that we could'nt have seen.
Francis is a great driver, we always felt safe and he told us a lot interesting facts about the wild animals and Kenya, he was always there for us, attentive and we often laughed together.
We would like to thank Francis from the bottom of our hearts for the time we spent together and we keep him in our memories. THANKS again - you're the best and we can only recommend him.

Safari in Kenya with Charlie

Our safari in Kenya with Charlie was a great experience. He was trustworthy and helpful, and we appreciated how many animals he was able to spot for us, especially lions. He always took time to answer our questions and made sure we felt comfortable during the trip.

One star less because he was a bit distracted by his phone during one of the drives. Overall, we were very happy with his guiding.

unforgettable adventures in nature with an experienced guide

good car, focused and very experienced driver
good organization when entering the parks
good planing of the daily routine

Now a special text for the head of the Safari Organization:
We had an unforgettable safari - thanks in large part to Mike, whose expertise and guidance made the experience truly special.

His excellent time management ensured that we had plenty of time in the parks. With an almost instinctive eye for spotting animals, combined with a deep expertise in their behavior and unique traits, Mike turned each encounter into something both fascinating and memorable. Taking time to quietly observe at carefully chosen spots made the experience all the more meaningful.

Beyond wildlife, Mike is committed to sharing his knowledge and passion for his country’s culture, history, and political landscape. He even took the time to teach me some Swahili, which I truly appreciated.

Mike’s love for his country - its people, animals, and landscapes - shines through in everything he does. Being a guide isn’t just a job for him; it’s a true calling. Traveling with him was an absolute joy, and we came away with lasting memories and a much richer understanding of the region and its wildlife.

THANK YOU

Dreams can also be experienced

We would Like to thanks the Jeci off Road Safari Teams and especially Charly for this unforgettable Safari in Samburu Nationalpark. Every single minute was a Highlight for us. The closeness to the animals that Charly made possible for us will remain unforgettable. He always tried to get as close as possible to the Lions, elephants and all the other animals. At time it was very Action- packend. We will Never forget the search for the cheetah, witch we saw up close on the last morning.

Thanks for all / This trip has enriched our lives
Asante Sanaa!!!

Awesome experience with best guide

The tour exceeded all of our expectations. This was entirely due to our very well-educated guide. Every day we could feel his passion as a guide and he tried every day to fulfill our wishes, he drove extra miles for every animal observation just so that we as guests were completely satisfied. He was polite, extremely smart, helpful, extremely respectful, funny and he managed that we had one of the best holidays ever! Thanks Elijah! You will forever grateful for you being our guide!
I would love to book a tour like this again immediately; if they weren't so expensive. But in the end the trip is worth every cent: highly trained guide, beautiful and special accommodation and super delicious food.
I can surely recommend to book a trip with this company and especially with our guide Elijah. He is simply the best!

The guide was very experienced

The guide was very experienced, helpful and flexible. He was able to provide extensive explanations about the country, people and wild animals and also looked after the guests in the accommodations. Thank you, it will remain an unforgettable experience for us, especially because of you, Charly.

a fascinating trip with lots of enthusiasm and no worries

We, a family of four, booked an 8-day trip to Kenya as a private safari in Germany through Karibu. After a first night near Nairobi airport, we were picked up by Charly, the best guide you could wish for, and from December 24th to December 30th we traveled together to 4 national parks. The trip was fantastically beautiful and without any problems or incidents. Charly is such a friendly and committed person who inspired us and conveyed the life of the animals with a lot of expertise and took us to the best spots with incredible and unique impressions of the animal families. His own fascination for life in the reserves was noticeable at every moment, so that he enabled us to have a wide variety of experiences. At all times we knew we were safe and in good hands. The tent accommodations were consistently very clean, well maintained and safe. The food was varied, but always delicious and easy to digest. During the long car journeys, Charly answered our (many :-) ) questions about the lives of the people in Kenya in a very realistic way and gave us a little insight into how the culture and rituals of the people in the country shape life. We are absolutely thrilled with our trip, very grateful for such a competent, open, friendly and approachable guide and can only recommend the perfect organization of Karibu in Germany and Jeci in Kenya.

We would like to say thank you for the…

We would like to say thank you for the great experience we could make in Kenya and we are very thankful for the great organization and the experienced and good guide who joined us during our safari. Charlie was a very safe driver and great guide for safari. We were very lucky to see the big five more than one time and several other animals. This was a unique experience and we appreciate the above average work, especially of our guide Charlie, and the whole team of JECI! We had lots of fun during our journey!
We were also very lucky with the extraordinary chose of lodges and camps that were all very special and of high quality!
We would really recommend to travel with JECI off road safari!
