In short, the trip was uneventful mostly due to the incredible demeanour and driving skills displayed by our driver, Richard. We started 30 minutes late as one of our passengers forgot his keys and these had to be delivered before we left. Richard apologised for the delay when it was not his fault. His patience and courtesy were faultless. Once we got going, he navigated potholes of various sizes, countless cattle and goats, numerous acts of thoughtless and dangerous driving from others on the road and three significant downpours due to the huge thunderstorms along our route. I cannot recall downpours of this magnitude, the volume of water that fell onto the road was huge, causing spray and reduced visibility for long stretches. Richard navigated all these issues with skill and calmness. We also made up time on a comfortable journey that was incredible value. Our thanks to Richard, give that man a raise!!

I regularly use Swift for journeys to and from Phalaborwa to OR Tambo. They are professional, efficient, very well priced and always very accommodating. The vehicles are spotlessly clean, the drivers are considerate and safe, with regular 'comfort' breaks and impeccable time keeping, I wouldn't even consider using any other service

We Booked a dedicated Transfer from near Kruger to JNB. Perfectly organized. Great driver. Would absolutely recommend and definitely a good alternative to flying (and much more flexible as well).

I share again my experience with Swift, on time, professional, Thili our driver was professional and friendly, he drove safely obeying the rules of the road, keeping a good distance from the vehicles in front of us. I felt very safe sitting in front. I will always use swift. Lynne in the office is always on top of her game. Thank you Team Swift !!!

From Rae Logie. Thank you Swift Kruger Shuttels. My trip was a pleasure; I departed with Swift from OT airport and was delivered to Grietjie Gate at Balule Game Reserve, on time. Our driver, Themba was an excellent driver and was most helpful. I will be returning to OT with Swift and I will certainly recommend Swift Kruger Shuttles.

Donny from Swift gave excellent service on our ride from Hoedspruit to JNB. He was professional, courteous and we even arrived more than 30 minutes early. Highly recommend SWIFT and will use them again if back in the area.

What a pleasure to travel with Swift. Excellent service from the driver. I have used this bus service four times, and every trip was great. I changed my return trip for a later date without any problem and at no extra charge.
