Edward Kariuki has spent almost two decades reading this land — not from a desk, but from the driver's seat. He knows which waterholes hold in a dry August, where the Mara crossings tend to happen before the crowds arrive, and which camps still feel personal rather than processed.
Every itinerary here is shaped by that knowledge first, and by your preference second. Nothing is pulled from a shelf — a private Kenya safari built around you starts with what Edward actually knows, not a template someone else wrote.
I don't sell trips. I plan the one I'd want to take myself, then I drive it with you.
Four things inform every itinerary Edward plans — not trip categories to pick from, but the knowledge he actually brings to a Kenya wildlife safari.
Big cats, the Mara migration, and a guide who reads the land daily instead of driving a fixed loop. The core of any Kenya wildlife safari.
A visit to a Maasai homestead Edward has known for years — by invitation
The same private Kenya safari, paced differently — slower mornings and shorter drives for families, privacy and space for couples.
Where a conservancy fee actually goes — land leases, scout salaries, and the communities whose land the wildlife lives on.
A few examples of how Edward's private Kenya safari itineraries come together — every one adjusted to your dates, pace, and interests.
12 days across 6 of Kenya's best landscapes — Samburu's dry north, the rhino conservancies of Laikipia and Nakuru, the Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli.
Six days, three regions, one deliberate route to the Big Five — Samburu's dry north, the rhino sanctuary at Lake Nakuru, and the plains of the Masai Mara.
Seven days across three landscapes — Aberdare's highland forest, Samburu's dry north, and the Masai Mara's plains — with one flown leg so you're not lost to a day of driving.
Edward Kariuki has been guiding across Kenya for almost twenty years — long enough to know which waterholes hold in a dry August, and which camps still feel personal rather than processed. Every itinerary on this site is one he has planned himself, and would lead himself.
There's no booking desk between you and him. Every enquiry goes straight to Edward directly, and every safari — whether it stays in Kenya or crosses into Tanzania — is guided in person, by him or by a partner he has known and trusted for years.
We didn't just have a good safari — we had Edward's safari. He knew where the pride would be before we got there. That's not something an agency can promise you.
