Our Private Transportation in Kenya with Njewa Safaris

Our travel agent in Nairobi is Njewa Safaris Travel and Car Hire Ltd. This is a local family-owned business that specializes in providing affordable personalized safaris for individuals, missionary and educational groups. Mary Njema is our experienced travel specialist and contact at Njewa Safaris, taking care of all our transportation, lodging, meals, visits and other appointments on our itinerary.

The first time I met and worked with Mary was in the summer of 2004 when she organized an unforgetable honeymoon safari and beach vacation for Monica and I. Based on that positive experience, the highlights of which were her personal attentiveness to our needs and her staff's professionalism in delivering to us great service, I decided I would always recommend Njewa Safaris to all my friends. I have sent two other couples on safari and beach vacation in Kenya and they found great service through Njewa too. This will be my first school-based community service and adventure group that I lead to Kenya, and I am very excited to be able to have the Njewa team on the ground working for us.

Over the weekend, Mary sent me these photos of the safari land-cruiser vehicles she has reserved for our ground transportation in Kenya. Both vehicles are equipped with first aid kits, watercoolers, and HF (high frequency) radios for communication. Each vehicle sits six or seven passengers comfortably as shown in this image to the left. We will all be guaranteed window seats since our group is only 11 people. At the back of the land-cruisers is some space for luggage. Do not pack very large or bulky pieces of luggage since that will be a problem with the limited space on the vehicles. We can leave some of our stuff in Nairobi at the Methodist Guest House for safekeeping and only bring the bare necessities when we travel away from Nairobi. If you have questions you would like me to forward to Mary at Njewa Safaris beforehand, let me know.
