What’s the most natural way to inspire a travel agency? When two wanderers with a passion for travel, meet. It was the year 2015 when Polish-American engineer and adventurer Jerzy Matusinski traveled to the DRC in search of adventure. While there, despite his world travels to Earth’s most sought-after destinations, he found himself blown away by the raw beauty and splendor of The Congos. It was here that he crossed paths with someone who would become not only his future business partner, but his forever friend. It was a kind-hearted man named Norbert Selenge.

Their friendship started from like-minded conversation of two men understanding each other. From there, the rest is history!

After a year of careful deliberation and planning, they agreed on a name (FUN FACT: the name “Soma” was lovingly chosen by Jerzy as a heartfelt tribute to his cherished granddaughters, Sofie and Gemma), registered their agency, invested into an office in Kinshasa, and began offering their one-of-a-kind boutique travel experiences the only way they knew how – with heart!
