Would highly recommend the Ilala Lodge in Victoria Falls, and the Kapama South Lodge in Krueger area. Both were very nice! As was mentioned to us, unless you do a Botswana day trip or something similar, three days in Victoria Falls is plenty of time. In Victoria Falls our Boma Dinner was just an average experience. The Elephant encounter was very enjoyable. The evening Ra-Ikane river cruise done through the Ilala Lodge was very good! The Peech Hotel in Johannesburg is very nice, but not close to anything else. The Soweto tour and Apartheid Museum are both very worthwhile experiences and informative in the struggles that South Africa faced and problems they have yet to overcome. We would say that all the arrangements made through Swain went off with out any problems. All of the tour guides were professional, and especially the private tours in Cape Town which were just fantastic!! In that regard, we would recommend that whenever possible make the tours private if your able to do so. The group tour to Cape Point and Simons Town should be private because so much time was spent picking up and dropping off at various hotels, especially when pickup times are not exact and people are not ready on schedule! In summary, we think Swain did an great job with planning, scheduling and with arrangements. Everyone was very courteous and helpful. Thanks again

Grant is very easy to work with! Professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. It has been a pleasure through the process.

Swain response time to emails is top notch. I know when Richard and Kathryn say they are working on it, they are.

Very helpful and knowledgeable...

We asked for a unique experience with boutique hotels, unusual tours and unheard of destinations and Swain delivered. Car rentals, airport pick ups were flawless.

Swain did an excellent job planning our trip to Vietnam. EVERYTHING went smoothly from beginning to end. We had no worries in an unfamiliar foreign country. The local guides and drivers were terrific. I would definitely use Swain in the future and I recommend using them.

Always a pleasure dealing with Kevin at Swain for Africa bookings. He is knowledgeable, courteous, always caters to every crazy request, and is always very quick to get back to me. I have recommended Swain to everyone I know for travel to Africa (and Australia), and this is my fourth time booking with them. Thank you Kevin!!

My clients traveled to India and everything went perfectly. Next - clients (and including myself and husband) Singapore and Perth. In October two couples going to Bangkok - and in the planning stage with Smuti.
