A fantastic two night safari
5/5

We went on a 3-day safari Tsavo East & West staying at Ashnil Lodge and the Kilaguni Serena and a One day trip to Shimba Hills with Swift Travel in June 2015.We found Swift Travel to be reliable, punctual and good value for money. Nicholas the driver was really knowledgeable pointing out all the different animals and the service very professional from Lucy in the office. We saw three of the big five Lions, Buffalo and Elephant. We visited the Rhino sanctuary but were unlucky. We chose to say at Kilaguni and saw Hippos, Elephant, Giraffe, Zebras, Buffalo, Gazelle, Wildebeest, Warthogs, DikDik all visit the waterhole from our bedroom. Food was fantastic and so was the overall safari experience.

Very proffessional Tour company; Great attention to detail
5/5

This could possibly qualify for the best vocation we have had in Years. We really enjoyed our safari with Swift Travel and I am particularly thankful for their efforts.
We also appreciated the attentiveness to minor details like our dietary requirements as well as removing some seats from the jeep to accommodate my husband who could not comfortably bend his knees…

We enjoyed the stay at Sarova Mara and the overall safari experience certainly was more than we hoped for. Our safari trip wouldn’t have been any better without your professional planning and assistance.

Thank you!

Maasai mara Safari; We had a blast
5/5

Communication leading to our booking our safari with Swift Travel was spot on and so was everything else thereafter, a private safari jeep, a knowledgeable guide, a comfortable and well placed camp-the Karen Blixen camp and sharp price just to mention but a few.

The safari was good and we had a blast at the Maasai mara. Not only did we have a great group of people in our camp but also luck was on our side. On our first game drive we had already seen a leopard, a pride of lions, elephants and buffalos and only missed the rhino to complete the “Big five”. We did not spot any rhino on our next 5 game drives though but our guided had indicated that there are very few rhinos within the mara triangle, he has only spotted three over the last four years! We would have had greater chances if we stayed at one of the conservancies and notably at the Porini camps. Our next trip will definitely include that as well as Lake Nakuru or Ol Pejeta Conservacy.

Cannot fault this company as the service was better than average, keep it up guys!

Swift in communication, superb service
5/5

We have just completed a wonderful trip in Kenya. We had booked this company following glowing reviews it got online and I would say that I am very glad I did. Being two ladies my mum and me, I wanted a company were we would feel safe and secure as this was our first time travel to Africa and we knew little about the country. I am pleased to say we had the best service before the trip and during.
I had sent a email originally outlining what I wanted to see and how long I had to see everything. Peter was excellent in advising me and the numerous emails I sent were swiftly responded to.

Our flight was arriving early in the morning (3.30 a.m.) and upon arrival our driver Joseph met us. Our first impression already gave us assurances and we felt in very good hands and that feeling never left through out the entire trip. Joseph went above and beyond to transport us, guide us and look after us. He was always on time and polite. His vast knowledge enabled us see almost all we wished for, we couldn't have asked for a better driver. He gave us extended game drives sometimes out of the itinerary and we soon realized he was out to have us enjoy our trip as much as we could.

If you are lucky like us to visit Africa, use Swift Travel and Tour management and ask Joseph, the hawk-eyed driver to be your guide.

I would definitely recommend this company for their professional work and value for money. I hope to be returning for another adventure to Kenya and probably Tanzania next summer and will be sure to book with them.

5/5

I and my wife would like to thank Swift Travel for making our 50th anniversary safari trip to Kenya such a memorable one. The responsiveness, professionalism and friendliness have been exceptional and I have already begun recommending you and Swift Travel to my friends and colleagues.

From comfortable safari jeep, spot on accommodation and superb guide, everything was just perfect. Our tour was a great success, thanks to the entire group that oversaw the planning and actual execution of our safari, we appreciated their work and how thoroughly reliable and meticulous they were.

I would thoroughly recommend Swift Travel and Tour Management to anyone looking for a great time in Kenya.

It was the best holiday we ever had and we will never forget it.

Excellent and very professional company
5/5

We took the four days Maasai mara road safari from Nairobi; Swift Safari and stayed at the Mara Serena Safari Lodge. The experience was beyond anything we have ever done. The atmosphere very cozy and intimate, our guide was superb, food delicious, and the game viewing was awesome. I got to fulfill my dream, to see a pack of lions hunt! Memories of spectacular sun downers over the Masai mara will stay etched in our minds forever.

Many thanks to all at Swift Travel for making our dream come true.

Thank you for a wonderful Safari
5/5

Your planning was perfect and its execution was nearly flawless. We were particularly impressed with all the planning information you tirelessly and accurately gave us through the numerous emails we exchanged prior to our trip.
The locations were all excellent and there were none that we left without regret, whilst also of course looking forward to the next. The guides and camp teams were all impressive. We have returned with unforgettable memories, many close-up photographs to review. Among the highlights, the high number of leopards seen but most of all, the group of wild dogs that we saw in Serengeti. All lodges and camps were very good and perfectly located for ease of game viewing, a minute’s drive away and already some wildlife to see.
The guides were all very competent both in Kenya and Tanzania, many thanks to both of them, without their knowledge we wouldn’t have had such a thrilling safari experience.

Thank you all at Swift Travel for the wonderful trip.

Superb and Professional company
5/5

It’s been a while since we came back from Africa but the memories still linger on as though it was yesterday. Both Henry and I would like to thank you for arranging the safari side of our trip. It was just amazing and we both had a wonderful time. The memories that you have helped us create, will remain with us for a very long time. We really appreciated all your input, help,guidance and most of all your patience during the trip planning.

The safari was just unbelievable. The Serena's in Maasai mara, Amboseli, Mt. Kenya, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro were great- really good choices, thanks. We had thevery best of drivers, Joseph, a very knowledgeable and an excellent spotter. He knew exactly where the animals were, especially the Big Five. He drove us to areas where we were very lucky to witness a kill. It was just amazing to watch a pack of lions go after a zebra. No words can describe the feeling. On the one hand you feel sorry for the zebra while on the other hand, when you watch the lion cubs enjoying their meal, you feel happy.

Thank you once again for arranging a wonderful safari experience for us. This was something totally different for us because we had never been to Africa before. We will not hesitate to recommend your services to all our friends,relatives and whenever we have an opportunity.
Asante sana.
