Is this trip right for you?

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'll be staying in a secure bush camp with basic facilities, heated bucket showers in the morning, and no WiFi, 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 amaaazing! We were so lucky with the wildlife, we had close sightings of cheetahs, lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes and loads more. Our chef Charles made delicious food for every meal. Jackline and Diana (our tour leaders) were amazing. I recommend doing as many optional activities as possible. The hot air balloon safari was a real bucket list moment!

Amazing trip and felt well supported the whole time.
First time with Intrepid vs using G adventures. The great home cooked meals was a nice touch and felt there was more community impact than with G
