Jumbo & Friedi Safaris Ltd.
It Is a small privately owned safari company in Nairobi Kenya. J & F is the brain-child of two unlikely partners, one Kenyan, and one American. The Kenyan half of this partnership is Edwin K. Kibe. Edwin has been a safari guide for about twenty years working for one of the largest safari companies in Africa. It was on a safari with this company that Edwin was to meet his future partner, Neal Friedenthal. There was a chemistry between the two men and a friendship was established almost from the first. That first safari only lasted ten days, but within a month arrangements were being made for another safari. This time Neal and his daughter would be coming for a month, and Edwin would make the arrangements, Edwin had already left the big company to freelance as a guide for smaller outfitters. During this safari the two friends began to talk about setting up their own safari company, one to fulfill his life's dream and the other to give him a connection to the Africa that he had grown to love. About six months later J&F Safaris was born.

The idea behind J&F is to provide our clients with a personalized safari. J&F is not affiliated with any hotel or lodge, so we are free to choose from among the best accommodations in East Africa. Whatever our clients choose be it hotel, lodge or tented camp, we make it our policy to book only the best available. Or if you prefer to safari the old way we can make arrangements for tents and other camping gear, what ever the client desires J&F has the experience to provide, and we are small enough that you won't get lost in the shuffle.

Our drivers are picked for their good driving records and their knowledge of the terrain and wildlife of East Africa.

All of us at J&F Safaris Ltd. Will do everything in our power to make your stay in East Africa an adventure of a lifetime, with all the elegance and in the tradition of the Grand Safari.
