Plan a Tentative East African Holiday

(Save or print out as six-page file to discuss with your family & friends)

 

WE LISTEN TO YOU!

Laswift Tours & Safaris Ltd. takes the guesswork out of organizing your trip to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. We are the dependable experts in helping you make the most of your East African holiday. Of course, you are the one who makes the decisions. Our job is to create a plan and submit it to you for approval. The Laswift team listens to you.

 

WE’RE KNOWLEDGEABLE!

We are located in the commercial heart of the city, opposite the modern Nairobi Hilton hotel, so we stay in touch with the travel-related businesses and our partner organizations on a daily basis. We know what is happening in our specialty – tours and safaris.

 

ECONOMICAL RATES!

Once upon a time, it seemed that safaris were something available only to the very wealthy and the very daring. No longer. Round-trip air fare to Nairobi from the eastern United States costs as little as $1,400 and a three-day safari can cost as little as $630 each (when traveling as a couple) or $900 each for two weeks. To be sure, there are gifts and souvenirs to buy, perhaps even art work; and an occasional meal "on your own." Laswift is ever alert to the most economical ways to make your holiday and safari as comfortable to your wallet as possible. We operate with low overhead, so that keeps our prices down. Count on us to make your Kenyan experience as affordable as possible.

 

NO-COST SUPPORT!

From the time you request our help, until after your trip is happily ended, our support services are provided at no charge. We meet you on arrival, and are on call while you’re here. We enjoy working with travelers, and are glad to be able to help everyone have an unforgettable experience in our region of Africa. We ask all of our clients to complete evaluations before departing, and that helps us become even better at our mission.

 

GUARANTEED COST PROPOSALS!

When you receive from us an itinerary tailored to meet your tastes and schedule, you’ll be given a guaranteed contract cost for the entire package. It will not change once you remit the 50% deposit that we require. Even if gasoline prices continue to go up, or hotel rates increase, our guaranteed cost remains fixed. You can count on that!

 

NOW, IT’S YOUR TURN!

Our website has tickled your imagination with a wide range of holiday opportunities in East Africa. But you need to make some choices, or perhaps inquire further. Here are capsule versions of some of our many tried and true plans, complete with estimated costs for each. Throughout our website, you’ll find variations on these, but we have picked the most popular for you to review.
