The decorated journalist, who quit his high-paying Citizen TV job in 2014, runs the tour company that is headquartered in Nairobi. The company is known as Chams Adventures.
Chamwada, who was conferred with Order of the Grand Warrior (OGW) by President (Rtd) Mwai Kibaki in 2010, uses the company to facilitate travelling to different locations.
The company basically supports tourists to deal with the different organisational aspects of a trip. It also creates touristic packages, determining the needs of various categories of clients and making general travel arrangements.
Chamwada's tours company is anchored in creating favourable travel across different parts of the country and the universe and also promoting local tourism.
"Chams Adventure tours and travel company is aimed at promoting Kenya as a distinct destination in Africa and the larger Universe. We purpose to enhance our tourism and travel industry’s contribution to the country’s social and economic growth, through being the face of Kenya to both the local and international populace," the company's mission states.
To have a competitive edge in the Kenyan market, Chams Adventure offers a variety of people's friendly offers to its clients touring different parts of the world.
The company is versatile as it offers packages including birthday parties, weddings, honeymoons, site seeing, road trips.
Other services offered include designing itineraries, airport transfers, and even road and rail travel facilitation.
"We offer comprehensive tour packages, where we plan your vacation, getaway, or adventure as may be, end to end enabling you to enjoy your travel with utmost peace and comfort. This implies understanding your vacation needs, planning, executing, and closing your safari to ensure your satisfaction and world-class experience."
According to the information from Chams Adventure, their services are affordable allowing even the ordinary Kenyans to treat themselves and special ones.
In one of their honeymoon package, Chams Adventure charges a couple Ksh20,000 per night at Diani Beach Resort staying in a standard room. This cost includes accommodations, meals, and transport to Ukunda Airstrip for those flying.
The company is run by a team of professionals and tour operators who ensure that all the services measure up to clients' expectations. It also has a fleet of executive cars that ferry its clients to different locations.
The celebrated journalist decided to start this game-changing company after seeing the success of his CHAMS media limited, a TV production company that supplies content to different TV stations.
His TV show is gaining popularity for featuring stories of Kenyans who are doing exceptionally well in different fields abroad and their impact in the world and in Kenya.
With both hustles thriving, Chamwada is living his dream life inspiring generations with his zeal and determination.
