Excellent safari for anyone looking to cover a lot in a short amount of time
We did a one night two day safari including transfers from our lodge in Zimbabwe. It was excellent from start to end. Easy booking and great communication answering all of my questions I had! We did two game drives and a boat safari, lunch was included each day in a 5 star resort too! All of the staff were super professional and checked in regularly to make sure we had the best experience possible! We saw so many animals up close elephants, giraffe, impala, lions and little lion cubs! We were lucky and saw leopards too. It was an amazing experience!

UNRELIABLE
I really need to write this review because tourists need to know that Swahili Paradise and Tours is completely UNRELIABLE and with a TERRIBLE ORGANIZATION.
In summary:
- our contact Jimmy disappeared once we did the payment
- No timely answer about how to pay the balance amount that finally had to be payed with their own personal exchanging rate (+10%)
- Lodge with employees that does not speak English and not helping during 2 blackouts and not working showers
- Wrong informations about how to use the showers in the lodge
- Terrible organization to collect our luggage
- Employees asking for the wrong amount of money (they discounted 3$ on an amount of 665$) and after all that we were asked for the remaining 3$.
- After all that, Jimmy did not even understand that there were SOME problems
- Before writing this review we gave Jimmy a feedback about the whole experience and he did nothing to improve the situation
I WOULD ADVISE YOU NOT TO TRUST THIS COMPANY.
Great trip!
I had a great time as a solo traveller; my driver, James was brilliant and so helpful.
The safari itself was amazing. They were able to secure fuel during a shortage which was really tricky.

Flexibility of service, great safari, value for money
We received a quote for the safari we selected and for the days we needed. The value us similar to the one we found online. The info provided is accurate, most of the information needed is in the document of the quote. Payment can be done by revolut or bank transfer. Sometimes the exchange of information is slow, either by email or whatsapp, but it arrives. There was a small issue when we paid by bank transfer. The company said it was missing 10 dollars, even tough it was transferred. This was the negative point we found, because I never saw a proof of the amount they received from my bank transfer. Swahili Paradise offered us to stay in their hostel in Arusha by 15 dollars a night with breakfast. It is an ok place, but in a slum, which means to arrive and leave from there only by car. No chance to buy anything around to eat and we hardly had electricity while we were there. Despite we booked the night before and after the safari, we decided to stay in the city center when we returned from the safari, as it is too much remote and we needed dinner. In that case we did not ask for the 15 dollars back. Still, in the day the safari started, we had transport arranged by Swahili Paradise to take us to the meeting point. The safari was amazing. As far as I understand they booked it to another company - Arunga. Our guide was spectacular - Ali or the Serengeti master as he says. He knew everything about Serengeti and Ngorongo. This is the experience I will take with me. But when we book the safari we don't know these details regarding who takes us.

Bad organisation
Sorry but I wasn’t that happy with how the safari went .. Everyday another jeep with another driver and other peoples, the planning changed totally from day 1 without any communication or plan. I slept on other campsites then my planning said, every morning I had to search by myself to my driver and nobody knew anything. Everyday we left very late (also not on the planning). And my driver forgot to pick me up at lake manyara to Serengeti so I’m not that happy
