Is this trip right for you?
verified
This is an overland trip. That means you’ll be travelling with a group in a purpose-built vehicle, visiting remote communities, setting up your own tent and getting the best possible views of the Big Five. While the trucks don’t have air conditioning, they do have drop-down windows, which let in the breeze and make it even easier to take spectacular snaps of the local wildlife. The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie.

In Loita Hills you will stay in a secure bush camp with basic facilities and cold showers. There is no wi-fi or upgrades available but the rewards of experiencing Maasai culture should more than make up for the lack of creature comforts.

As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or beat the morning traffic on long travel days.

This trip was even better than expected. I‘v seen and learned so much in just one week, which I am so grateful for. The itinerary is very well balanced, between having a lot of interesting activities, but also enough breaks to not feel overwhelmed. Also the Dream Team on this tour (Susan, Patrick & Solomon) was the best. They made the experience just perfect and I can only congratulate future travellers, if they get to do this tour with them because they will make your experience just perfect.

As an experienced solo traveller, I was sceptical about group trips. I have to say I now see the benefit! I would do it again.

This was a fantastic trip with the perfect mix of wildlife, scenic, cultural and physical activities. The crew (Paul, Becky, David) were knowledgeable and energetic and their enthusiasm was very contagious! The tents were in great condition and the campsites had much better facilities than I expected - all flushing toilets and showers. I highly recommend it and walk away with a deep love for Kenya!

First time ever camping and I am so glad it was done with Intrepid. The staff, the itinerary, the activities, the truck and the food were above expectations. I can't wait for my next Intrepid trip!
