SOMAK Travel
a reputation for service
A
warm welcome comes as standard with Somak Travel – a destination management company with over 45 years of commitment to tourism in East Africa.
With a belief that ‘attention to detail’ is an essential to success, it comes as no surprise that Somak has achieved a reputation for providing excellent customer service.
Expansion In order to keep up with the demand for its services, Somak employs in excess of 175 experienced staff. With offices in Nairobi, Mombasa and Arusha (in Tanzania) there is an ongoing expansion in terms of location as well as services provided. Many major tour operators now entrust Somak with their ground handling requirements. All staff members are friendly and constantly ensure that every excursion runs smoothly. A recent customer commented that on arrival into Kenya ‘we were made to feel like we had just returned home to see old friends’ – a true testament to the way Somak staff provide a warm and professional greeting to all guests.
Somak has an extensive range of activities on offer. Some of the most popular include balloon safaris, camel-riding and horse-riding safaris, golfing holidays, mountaineering and deepsea fishing. In addition to Somak’s many other talents, the company has recently begun organising conferences and large-scale events. The International incentive and conference market
is of growing importance in Kenya and Somak now provides dedicated conference venues in major centres. There are plans to grow this area of business in the future. The East Africa Wildlife Society recently recognised Somak for its contribution to conservation in East Africa. The company has also received accolades from the Kenya Red Cross Society, British Airways and Air India.
