Welcome to Swann Travel

INCORPORATING AFRI-ADVENTURE SAFARIS

We are a wholly owned family business (Established 1978) and have been making dreams come true for more than 40 years. We pride ourselves in a very personal service.

The two owners, Des and Leona Farrar are both National guides and have vast experience (more than 90 years combined) in planning your holidays. Whether we offer you a dream holiday on an island or an unbelievable bush experience in either South Africa, Botswana, Uganda, Tanzania, Namibia or the wonders of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, we will always be honest with you and offer you the best rates available. If you enjoy our good wines, a stay at one of our many wine estates in Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek are just for you. Perhaps you are more adventurous then try shark diving along the Cape coast; Springtime on the west coast of South Africa in August/September is a flower spectacular for the nature lover.

If you have a particular tour in mind, and it does not appear on our website, all you have to do is contact us, tell us what you require, and we make it happen.

Self drive packages are available on certain tours.

All our packages are based on 2 people traveling together. Single supplement on request, as well as prices for 4 or more people traveling together

You just need to contact us because we can make it happen! We take special care to make your dreams come true, creating once in a lifetime holidays, with dedication, service, advice and suggestions.

Top Tour Reviews

Swann Travel services provide knowledgeable, caring and specific travel advice and services. Having an agent in country and well connected to many sites is invaluable. Leona has planned 3 safaris for me and my family in South Africa and beyond. All have been unique and wonderful. If there ever was a problem or concern, Leona was there to solve it. I am happy to say that she has become a friend.

We had a great time on the Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift Battlefields tour. The tour was seamless from start to finish. Our guide at the Isandlwana Lodge was terrific! His descriptions of the battlefields were so detailed that you could actually visualize the British soldiers and the Zulu warriors in combat. Isandlwana Lodge was the perfect place to stay for these battlefields. Not only were the rooms fantastic (we had an absolutely breathtaking view of the Isandlwana Battlefield from our room), but the food was delicious. I would give it a 5-star plus rating. Anyone interested in visiting Isandlwana should take this inclusive tour.

I have been fortunate in my life to have traveled a lot and to many destinations in the world. The trip to South Africa with my three daughters through your agency was the best trip I have ever experienced!
