About SwiftHawk Cargo

A small, hands-on team moving cargo by air, sea and road.

Named for the hawk - built for the ground, sea and sky.

SwiftHawk Cargo was set up in Kenya to give shippers a single point of contact for moving cargo, whichever mode fits the job - air, sea or road. Rather than specialising in just one lane, we coordinate all three under one shipment file, so mixed or time-sensitive cargo doesn't get lost between providers.

We're still a lean operation, and we treat that as an advantage: fewer handoffs, faster answers, and a team that knows your shipment by name, not just a tracking number.

Mission

To move cargo across air, sea and road with the same discipline a good pilot brings to a flight plan - checked, documented, on time.

Vision

To become East Africa's most dependable name in multi-modal freight forwarding.

Values we apply to every shipment

Reliability

We commit to timelines we can actually keep, and we tell you early if something changes.

Precision

AWBs, bills of lading and consignment notes checked properly before cargo ever moves.

Straight communication

Direct updates on cost, status and timelines - no jargon, no run-around.

Local knowledge

Grounded in Kenya's ports, airports and road corridors - not a generic playbook.

One shipment file, three possible modes.

Every enquiry starts the same way: we look at what's moving, where it needs to go, and by when - then match it to air, sea or road (or a combination) rather than forcing it into whichever mode we happen to sell hardest.

AWB

Air-first cargo

Used when speed matters more than volume - perishables, urgent parts, high-value goods.

B/L

Sea-first cargo

Used for bulk and container loads where cost efficiency outweighs transit speed.

CMR

Road-first cargo

Used for regional and cross-border moves and the last mile after air or sea arrival.
