Somak 2026-27 Brochure

www.somak.co.uk • 1 Welcome Contents The word “safari” comes from Swahili, meaning journey, and it’s something that has been at the core of what we do at Somak Luxury Travel since we first started in 1968. As a family-run business, our journey began in Kenya, and from those roots, we’ve grown to set the standard for holidays across East and Southern Africa. The best part? We’re just getting started. And there’s so much more in store for you. While Africa remains our speciality (Kenya will always have a special place in my heart), we’ve expanded our horizons to the Indian Subcontinent, bringing the same family values and personalised approach. What truly sets us apart is our team of travel experts, many of whom have over 25 years of experience. These are the people who live and breathe travel, curating tailor-made, experiential itineraries just for you. Whether you’re looking for a bespoke safari, a cultural escape, or something totally unique, our experts take pride in creating holidays that are just as unique as you are. They know every corner of these regions and are dedicated to making sure every detail of your journey is crafted with care and expertise. Travel has changed a lot over the years and we’ve always embraced that evolution. We stay ahead of trends and technology—constantly refining our offerings to ensure you get the best, most memorable experiences. At Somak, we’re all about delivering more than just a holiday. We’re here to craft unforgettable escapes that resonate with you long after you return home. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, with family, or with a group of friends, our bespoke holidays cater to your needs and passions. And even after 55 years in the business, I’m more excited than ever about what the future holds. Our team is ready to handcraft your next incredible journey.
