Since 1991, Tobs Kenya Golf Safaris has been the first and only genuinely specialised Golf Tour Operator in Kenya, organizing golf safaris and events.
Kenya in East Africa, has 40 wonderful golf courses, excellent weather all-year-round and to offer the combination of golf, safaris and beach holidays was an innovation by Tobs in Kenya’s tourist industry, 21 years ago. V.I.P. service and personal attention is what Tobs Kenya Golf Safaris is known for. The Tobs' team is dedicated and highly trained and all are personally involved in organizing your dream golf holiday to the last detail.
Tobs, a former CEO of the Philips Electronics Group of Companies in East Africa (1987-1991), is a member of 2 golf clubs and a true host to his guests.

Tobs organized many golf events, including the IAGTO Steering Committees meeting which was "the most spectacular Steering Committee event ever staged" as per IAGTO's Chief executive Mr. Peter Walton's letter. Tobs hosted the KLM Kenya Open in March 2009, 2010 and 2011 the Kenya Airways Invitational in November 2009 and March 2011, among many other sponsored golf tournaments in Kenya.
