Esther Njeri Njoroge, Chief Executive of Bountiful Safaris, a leading tours and travels company, has denied any relationship with Bonfire Adventures.

For some time now, there have been allegations that Bountiful Safaris is a sister company of Bonfire Adventures co-founded by Simon Kabu and his wife Sarah Kabu.

Njoroge worked for Bonfire Adventures for three years before calling it quits over frustration from people she did not want to mention.

Months later, she started Bountiful Safaris and some people alleged that Simon may have secretly helped her to open the company.

Speaking during an interview on the Metha Ya Kagoni YouTube channel, Njoroge said she lay the foundation of her company without any help from the said person.

She revealed that much of the support came from her elder brother.
“I’m the only director of Bountiful Safaris and maybe if there is another director it must be my brother. When I opened our offices, he paid my rent for three months,” she said.

Asked why she does not respond to trolls over the issue, Njoroge she cannot engage with people who do not know her journey.

“I know the truth and I have no time for them (critics). My pastor and my mother also know the truth, so why should I explain myself?” she posed.

Before founding Bountiful Safaris, Njoroge said she worked in two toxic work environments but remains grateful that the challenges shaped her.

She divulged that at one point she became depressed and attempted to take kill herself.

“I spent a week in hospital with doctors detoxifying my body. That experience was bad and vowed to never try to take my life,” she said.

Success

After launching her company, the businesswoman said she was dismissed several times by people who looked down upon her because she is a woman.

However, she beat the challenges and now heads one of the most successful tours and travel companies that has employed at least 20 people.

“It has been a journey of faith. I remember my pastor would tell me that one day I will open my company and I could not believe her. Today I’m so grateful,” Njoroge said.

She thanked comedian Timothy Kimani aka Njugush and his wife Celestine Ndinda for being the best marketers of Bountiful Safaris.

“When I approached them, I thought they would charge me millions of shillings. We’ve worked together so well and they have been a great support system.”
