What you will see
Kele is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:51:21 local time, the Moon hides 55.5% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:31:31 and ends at 15:03:31, 2 h 32 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 68° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Kele.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,207 km north-east of Kele.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Mukayrās, about 1,209 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 09 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
