Firstly we The Safari family would like to extend our gratitude and love and say a very huge thank you to you all for rallying behind our Mom, Carol, Jason, Jayden, Jake, Sidi, Anita and I. We have put some few words to say goodbye to our beloved brother Robert “Robo” Safari whom joined our family and forever made it complete. So we say these words with heavy hearts, to celebrate a man that stood tall, loved unconditionally and guided with love and light. We started our forever family with Robo as our eldest fearless leader. He was beloved son of Margaret Safari and the late Richard Safari, sibling and best friend to the late Kevin Safari, Anita Safari, Lisa Safari and Sidi Safari. Beloved Nephew to Hon. Betty Tett, the late William Tett, Aunty Mary, Aunty Jenny Mkubwa, cousin to Sheila Tett, Maureen Tett and the late Ken Tett and the late Eddie Tett, Vincent Tabu, Maureen Tabu and Kelvin Tabu. He had a close relationship with each of his siblings. Our brother was someone you could always depend on, reliable, always there with a leaning ear to listen and a heart that knew no bounds. He brought magic back into our lives, cutting down our Christmas tree and decorating it each year with Robo was a special time we all looked forward to. Cooking us breakfast, playing games with us, as we got older teaching us to drive and all about boys. Our mother could not be prouder of Robert and his achievements, beyond school years, electrical school (which very much came in handy) being in Flash point, it was how he loved his family and his boys, watching him grow and becoming a Father. Robo joined Flashpoint as the one who carried their rythm on the lead bass. Just like the deep vibration of those bass strings his playing moved something in you. He brought the music to life and with his band flashpoint, they brought the magic of music to so many! Later he mentored the band Calabash we remember going to Sunday performances at jacaranda hotel, watching the band at Galileo and tuna tree in our early teenage years. Dana, Al, Mercy Myra, The late Tony Williams, Edwin John and Melo, all flourished under his tutilage and built lasting relationships with everyone he touched. Family was his top priority in life. He was the most amazing father to his first born Jason Safari whom he shared with Shiko. Their co-parenting was, as the youth say Goals! Their friendship with each other and their love for Jason rivalled any distance. Robert went on to marry the love of his life Caroline (Caro as we all know her by) and became a proud and loving father to Isabelle Wamboi along with having two more sons with Caro, Jayden and his youngest Jake. He doted on them all and worked tirelessly to bring that special brand of love and nurturing that seemed to be his superpower. Robert loved his family and that was evident in the way he lived everyday. To his siblings, extended family and close knit friend group Robo was a man of great wisdom and patience. He saw a person’s heart and not their faults.To his family, He saw the world in a kind of optimism that is rare to find. A true Gem. Our very own unicorn. They say energy never dies it can only be transformed from one form to another and we know that love so pure is lasting. His legacy will be one of unconditional kindness and love and in the beautiful young men he raised his energy will continue to transform lives.The man he was is evidenced by the over pouring of love that the family have seen demonstrated by his friends and colleagues and all of us who now feel the very large void he left behind. Let that void be filled with the memory of his laughter, his manic love for Arsenal, his humor and his unmatched kindness. Forever in our hearts, we say until we meet again may your light shine brighter beloved.
