Logistically and financially disorganised
While the safari experience itself was good, I unfortunately had a very negative experience with Roju Safaris regarding a refund. Due to a payment error on my side, I overpaid them. I immediately reported the mistake, and they acknowledged it, but it took them more than three months to process the refund claiming they were having financial difficulties.
When the refund was finally made, they deducted 9% without any clear explanation, far beyond what a bank fee would reasonably be. After holding my money for months, this lack of transparency and fairness left me with a very disappointing impression.
What’s worse, I had to involve the Kenyan Tourism Regulatory Authority in order to get the refund processed, something that should never have been necessary if the company had acted responsibly from the beginning.
Travelers should be aware that while their tours may run smoothly, they may not follow the schedule you were given. The way Roju Safaris handled my case showed a lack of professionalism and honesty in financial matters.
