About Me

Safari Group on the Masai Mara Kenya
Safari Group on the Masai Mara Kenya

Welcome to the world of group travel packages, where the savvy explorer's dreams are brought to life. These meticulously curated journeys are designed for those who value the convenience of prearranged itineraries, prepaid arrangements, the expertise of a knowledgeable guide, seamless transportation, thoughtfully chosen accommodations, and admission fees all seamlessly woven together. 

The mantra is simple: Have a Great Time. Traveling within a group amplifies the enjoyment. When you don't have to fret about safety or logistics, you can immerse yourself more fully in the experience. Plus, you'll be in the company of fellow travelers with diverse backgrounds, offering fresh perspectives and enriching your adventure. 

Exotic destinations beckon, and many yearn to explore them, if only they had the chance to join a group of like-minded individuals who share their enthusiasm. 

The benefits of group travel are many:

- We take care of all the details, sparing you the hassle of planning every aspect of your trip. While some prefer the intricacies of creating their own itineraries, others embrace the opportunity to let us orchestrate the journey, allowing them to simply arrive and explore.

- There's room for independent exploration if you desire it. We understand that personal adventures are an integral part of the journey.

- Safety in numbers: Traveling alone can be a concern, but within a group, you find reassurance.

- Sharing a destination and crafting lasting memories with newfound friends is a guarantee of fun and fulfillment.

- Groups are more budget-friendly due to shared expenses, making the adventure accessible to everyone.

- It's a remarkable way to forge new connections and establish relationships that, in some cases, span a lifetime.

I have the pleasure of leading tailor-made groups on unforgettable adventures to countries in North, East, and South Africa. These travel experiences resonate with our guests, leaving an indelible mark on their lives. All you need to bring is your passport and luggage; I'll handle the intricacies, so you can revel in the journey. 

So why wait? Join a group and start exploring our world. After all, life is too short not to seize these incredible opportunities.

Enjoyed a really great trip using Network Travel services. Bonus was to have Rick on the tour as well. His experiences in the area added to general understanding and enjoyment. Rick interacted with travellers, and other service providers such as hotels, restaurants , local guides , drivers in a pleasant and respectful manner. He was fun enthusiastic and patient throughout the trip. Look forward to travelling with him again.

Trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Warner and Eldeen - Saskatoon, SK. | Traveled to Kenya | Africa
Simple words can't describe the awesome experience we had on our Kenyan Safari. The flights, the safari, the accommodations, the food, the people and the hot air balloon ride. Rick and the team pulled together outstanding service and looked after us start to finish. We will be travelling again with Network Travel.
Rick MacSwain responded
"Warner and Eldeen, thank you so much for your beautiful message. It was such a pleasure having you with us in Kenya — your energy and enthusiasm made the journey even more special. I’m so glad you enjoyed everything from the game drives to the lodges (and that unforgettable hot air balloon ride!). It means a lot to hear that you felt looked after from start to finish — that’s exactly what we aim for. All the best!! Rick & the Network Travel Team"

Extraordinary Experience!
Reviewed By LaureneKim - High River, Alberta | Traveled to Africa
My bucket list was to go to Africa and in January 2025, I was able to make it happen after many years of dreaming! I booked with Network Travel knowing that Rick MacSwain (owner) was accompanying the group and that made us feel much more assured as we had never travelled this distance before. The trip exceeded our expectations in all areas! And having Rick with us was definitely one of the reasons why. He was informative, knowledgeable, friendly, funny and overall a wonderful person to have with us. From the moment he introduced himself to us in Dubai (we added on this extension to the Africa trip) to the moment he left us in South Africa (to greet another group of travelers), it was invaluable to have Rick's expertise. We didn't have to worry about a thing on this trip and that in itself is priceless! I would highly recommend Rick and Network Travel and have already done so to our family and friends!
Rick MacSwain responded
"Laurene, thank you so much for your kind words and for being part of our journey through Dubai and South Africa. It was a true pleasure sharing the experience with you and Alan. We hope to welcome you both on another adventure soon! Wishing you all the very best until then."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
