Never seen so many lions!
We stayed at the new Chobe Bush Lodge, sister accommodation to the Chobe Safari Lodge. Really nice rooms, everything still fresh and new. We went for a game drive in the morning and a boat cruise in the afternoon. We were at the gate of the park at 6 in the morning; it was still dark and very cold. I sat shivering in the vehicle, and probably the animals were still curled up in bed as well. We did see a leopard in the half-light, but not much else. That is, until we heard the lions. There were many. A pride of about 10 was chased away from their kill by another pride, and they were angry! Growling, with foam around their mouths. Now I almost couldn't hold my camera for the adrenalin rushing through my body. (I managed, though, as you can see here: ) We didn't see much game other than the lions - but it was fantastic anyhow. The boatcruise was fine as well - the sunset on the Chobe river is a beauty. However, it gets really busy with boats in the afternoon, so that bush vibe wasn't really there. Also, when you are staying in the Bush Lodge or the Safari Lodge, the boat is really big, so it can't come close to the banks. Food at the lodge was okay, though the menu promised more than was actually given. My ciabatta with mozzarella, pesto and tomato turned out to be a cheese sandwich without any pesto or mozzarella. It tasted good, but was not what I expected.

Absolutely amazing
We now back home and we would like to say that our trip with you was absolutely amazing! It was a great experience to visit Kenya and Maasai mara, to meet its nice and open people and to enjoy the great landscape, wildlife and scenery. It was the best holiday we ever had and we will never forget it.
All of you at Swift Travel contributed to make us relax, sit back and simply enjoy. You made our safari trip very special.
Out of Africa.- vielen Dank, das war großartig, wie du alles für uns arrangiert hast! Asante Sana

Absolutely Amazing and Forever Unforgettable
Even months later writing this review, I still can't believe the number of animals seen while on safari in Tanzania. Absolutely amazing, stunning, and, at times, truly breathtaking. The landscape itself is beautiful and diverse. Bucket list destination indeed.
Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by Nicole
I found the scenery in the Namib Naukluft National Park to be spectacular-like in another world!! It was the neatest experience to climb and descend the sand dunes. It was one of the many highlights of my trip! Amazingly we saw a fair amount of animals-the mountain zebras, springboks, and the beautiful oryx! I was ecstatic when I first spotted an Oryx and thought I had seen some kind of unicorn!!!
Unfortunately back from Kenya!
I'm (unfortunately) back from Kenya. It was wonderful, and all our expectations were even exceeded!
We fell very well at Severin Sea Lodge! Yes, and we're still speechless when thinking about Severin Safari Camp!
The surcharge for the Junior Suite was really worth it! We had Suite No. 41 and woke up in the morning with direct view to the waterhole with drinking zebras, giraffes etc.!
Thank you for this recommendation Severin Travel! Kenya - we will come back!
Review about Damaraland by Nicole
Drier and more desolate area but offered interesting historical sites to visit such as the World Heritage site at Twyfelfontein and the Petrified Forrest.
professional team, personalised safari experience, perfection!
Suzanne and Luke provided us with prompt, professional service. Safari with a 1 year old is daunting but they made us completely comfortable that everything was under control. All the recommendations they made were perfect and suited our needs.

Nice travel
Kenya, a mesmerizing destination, captivates with its diverse landscapes, from the stunning Maasai Mara savannah to the picturesque coastline. Immerse yourself in rich wildlife at national parks, witness the Great Migration, and experience vibrant cultures. Kenya, a jewel of East Africa, promises an unforgettable adventure blending nature and tradition.
Review about Zambezi Region by Nicole
The Zambezi Region was also very interesting. Lots of native villages and people and children walking along the roads. It was a busier area, more populated than others.We spent a bit of time on the Kavango and the Kwando River where we saw numerous bird species and some animal life. The game drive through Mahangu National Park was exciting as we saw our first lioness and a kill.

First-Class service!
Vayeni are without doubt the best travel agent/ operator I have dealt with even compared to services in Europe. I had to change my booking at least 4 times and they were great in dealing with all the issues. They had staff at the holiday destination that sorted out everything for our party and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone booking travel within Southern Africa
