This is what some clients had to say about our services:
| Shelley Kaplan Aug 27, 2014, 5:39 PM After lots of research, we booked our 1-day guided bike+hike trip with Sojourn Safaris. Robert Muhuhu Kamau was the contact (info@sojournsa faris.com). He was professional, courteous & extremely responsive to all our questions. Our driver & wonderful bike/hike guide, James, made the entire day exceptional & well worth the extra $. We would highly recommend Robert for those who want a carefree & special adventure at Hell's Gate...and don't forget to request James! Scott and Shelley Kaplan: Atlanta, Georgia; USA |

“I recently spent a couple of weeks in Africa and on my way home had a layover of several hours in Nairobi. I contacted Robert at Sojourn Safaris and he helped me plan the perfect way to spend an afternoon (because the Nairobi airport isn’t the place you want to spend more than a couple of hours). He customized a half-day tour and adjusted things on the fly because of traffic, attraction hours, etc. From the moment he picked me up at the airport, Robert was helpful and a great ambassador for Kenya. I highly recommend the services of Sojourn Safaris, and based on my experience, am hoping to do a Masai Mara safari with them in the near future. Professional, reliable, courteous and good value… all attributes of Sojourn Safaris.”

Although I had only a relatively brief period of eight hours in Nairobi, Robert made the very best of it. We were able to see more wildlife in a shorter period of time than any of the large tours. Robert filled the day with excellent experiences, including an extraordinary variety of traditional culture and an excellent lunch. Whether you are traveling as a family or as an independent professional with some extra hours at the airport, I would highly recommend getting out of the airport and letting Sojourn Safaris give you an excellent experience."

| Dan and Mary North Oct 13, 2012, 7:00AM Hello Robert, Dan and I are safely back to our home in the US after a long journey last weekend. I just wanted to take a moment to say to you how much we enjoyed our adventure with Michael and the Sojourn Safari experience. It was absolutely fabulous! We saw so many animals -- BIG animals -- and beautiful birds. We even saw giraffes and zebras along the highway not too far out of Nairobi. I didn't know why Michael was pulling the van over until he pointed out the big animals who were in the trees just off the road. My goodness! Michael could not have been nicer nor could he have been any more knowledgable. He was so kind and patient. By the way, the lunches that we picked up at the Hilton were really good! I haven't eaten fried chicken in a long time and it tasted delicious! All in all, it was a fantastic journey. Thank you for providing such a wonderful opportunity for us. Best wishes, Dan and Mary North : Seattle, Washington; USA |
