Is this trip right for you?
No two journeys in Africa are identical. Be prepared for travel times to be longer or shorter than advised. Weather and road conditions can change things significantly, so embrace the detours, shortcuts, and unforgettable moments along the way.
The section of this trip that takes place in Zanzibar is unescorted. You will not have a designated local leader while you are here. However, our local representatives are on hand should you need any advice or assistance.
This is a 4WD overland trip. That means you’ll be travelling with a group in 4WD vehicles, visiting remote communities and world-renowned wildlife parks. The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie.
There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.
The day-to-day itinerary features a selection of optional activities. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and is intended only as a guide. Prices are approximate and may change at the discretion of the local provider, and all activities are subject to availability.

This trip was a dream come true. We decided to celebrate our honeymoon in Africa - wanting something more special to create lasting memories. The trip was beyond what I could have ever imagined having done other (non intrepid) tours in the past. So grateful we chose this adventure together. And the time of year was perfect! Quiet season meant we were able to spend more time in certain areas.

This trip gave me so much more than I expected. I went primarily for the Serengeti safari, but I found the experiences with the people and the places to be just as exciting and fulfilling. The itinerary really gave a broader view of Tanzania than I had expected. Loved it!

Intrepid provided a great experience with their tour of Kenya and Tanzania. Overall it was packed with great experiences punctuated by long bus rides and a grueling timetable. In the end everybody got exactly what they wanted. The tour was professionally managed with good principles and standards. Thank you to the tour organisers and leaders for a great experience.

The East Africa safari and coast tour was amazing. Covering both Kenya and Tanzania, the itinerary had everything I wanted, including camping in the Serengeti. The team that worked on this tour were phenomenal. Our tour guide (Tim) was extremely knowledgeable and the food prepared by chef Judi was excellent. Highly recommended this tour.
