Nikson is very friendly, accommodating, attentive to our requests. He made us feel safe.
The organization was smooth even in advance. The company was available for any questions via WhatsApp. We were a group of 5, so they offered a private safari at a good price with customization of the itinerary (jeep for 7). We were able to pay in euros as soon as we arrived. Our night at the lodge was typical and friendly. All meals (included) were very good and homemade, and we had nothing to manage (transport of suitcases, water included during the entire safari). Evening at the Logde with a local show.
The guide (Nikson) is the good driver, very secure. We had 2 pairs of binoculars available.
Recent company but she has all the makings of becoming one of the best.

Excellent experience in the Arusha National Park
I enjoyed my trip to the Arusha National Park with canoeing in Lake Duluti. Every thing organized well, and the attitude was very professional. I can definitely recommend Swahili Safari Escape if you are planning a day trip to one of the amazing national parks in the vicinity of Arusha

Professional, knowledgeable, and made the safari unforgettable.
Visiting Ngorongoro was an unforgettable experience.
We were incredibly lucky to see a male lion almost immediately after entering the crater. Watching him calmly walk across the vast grassland was absolutely breathtaking. It was also fascinating to see the nearby zebras keeping an eye on the lion while calmly continuing to graze.
As we drove further, we saw countless zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, buffaloes, elephants, hippos, and even a rhino in the distance. Seeing so many different species living freely together in one vast, open grassland was incredibly beautiful.
Having only ever seen animals in zoos before, I was deeply moved by the experience. There were no fences or separate areas — just wild animals naturally sharing the same land. I remember thinking, “So this is what nature really is,” and honestly, I almost cried.
Peter, our guide and driver, was excellent. He drove safely and gave us interesting and informative explanations throughout the safari, which made the experience even more meaningful.
It truly felt like an animal paradise. I would absolutely recommend Ngorongoro to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of wildlife and nature.

We’re truly delighted to hear that your visit to the Ngorongoro Crater was such a memorable and emotional experience. Seeing a lion so soon after entering the crater, along with zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, elephants, hippos, gazelles, and even a rhino, is a wonderful reminder of how incredible and untouched nature can be.
We’re especially happy that the experience gave you a deeper appreciation of wildlife in its natural environment. That feeling of seeing animals without fences or boundaries is exactly what makes a Tanzania safari so special.
A big thank you as well for recognizing Peter. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. His safe driving, knowledge, and passion for the wildlife are a huge part of creating a great safari experience.
It was a pleasure having you with us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for another unforgettable adventure

Really nice guy, with lots of information, and totally motivated to show me all the best things!
I had a great experience. I wanted to do some special things, like visit the old Gorge site, and Peter was very helpful. We went through many itineraries before we set on the one that would work. Everything he promised he delivered on the pick up in Nairobi and the connection in Tanzania. My Guide, Herman, was outstanding. He knows animals and habitat and ecosystems. Plus he is a darn good driver, which is a plus in this place. He was always so willing and motivated to be helpful and show me everything I wanted to see, and more. Our Chef, Allen, had a new culinary surprise every day. All delicious! I saw and learned so much. I will never forget the week.

Amazing experience!
We had a wonderful time in our 1 day shared Ngorongoro safari. Peter is an outstanding tour operator, he answered all our questions and always replied so quickly. Our trip was a last minute decision and it was the best decision! Our driver/guide, David, was knowledgable and friendly, and took us around to the best viewing spots for all the wildlife - we saw elephants, rhinos, wildebeast, buffalo, monkeys and best of all, a lion up and close! He also answered our questions and stopped whenever we wanted. The lunch was also so delicious, a home cooked meal, and plenty of water/drinks were provided. The safari vehicle was also super comfortable and has charging points so you’d never run out of battery - there was plenty of space for everyone to stand up and see the animals and also important for the tall people - plenty of legroom! Overall 10/10 experience and we actually booked another safari with Swahili in a couple of days time to visit Tarangire! Cannot wait!

Outstanding service. Customer orientated.
From the first click on the website to the last drop off after the tour ... the tour was nothing but outstanding. Peter our initial contact went above and beyond to accommodate us. We had such a great time we booked another safari in 2 days time. Hopefully we will have the same driver/guide David. A wonderful driver and made sure we got to see the Big 5, which we did. Spectacular. Thanks again.

A truly memorable day trip
We booked a private day trip from Arusha to Serval Wildlife, with a drop-off in Moshi at the end of the day. We would like to thank Alex for his excellent service. He arrived on time in the morning, drove very safely and smoothly throughout the trip, and made the whole journey comfortable and enjoyable.
We had a wonderful day and really enjoyed the experience. Choosing this private transfer was definitely the right decision. Highly recommended, especially if you are looking for a reliable and professional driver. Thank you, Alex!
