Is this trip right for you?
As the early bird catches the worm, the early riser sights the animals. 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 Game Drive's in Chobe National Park and Kruger National Park are in an open 4WD vehicle, and it can be quite cold in morning and evening. It's important to bring some warm clothes with you.

In use of expert tour guides and drivers added to the Majesty of our vacation. We not only saw wondrous sites in Africa, but met wonderful people and had the opportunity to develop lifelong friendships. I can’t see enough good things about the people that work for intrepid, and they other travelers on our small group tour.

I had one of my best trip in Africa watching all the wild life safely and in premium quality lodges. The itinerary was good and we did do a lot of game drives and saw the Big 5, the Ugly 5 and lots more. The trip is expensive but it's well worth it considering all the premium lodges are expensive in Africa, plus most meals are included and delicious meals, lots of included activities and safety during your entire stay. I highly recommend taking this trip if you want to see Southern Africa in depth.

This was our first trip with intrepid, the organization was very good. Our guide was excellent, he made us feel safe, comfortable and let us know what to expect every step of the way. Our accommodation was clean and meals were plenty. The team worked behind the scenes to make sure everything was seamless. We really struck a great group also!

Excellent tour. Well organised. Great accomodation. Not cheap but top class and well worth it especially if you don’t want to camp. Great variety of wildlife seen.

I would highly recommend this trip. The game drives, including river cruises didn't disappoint. It was thrilling to see the animals in their home and relatively close up. Just remember the accommodations are in the wild and they're not 5 star motels but fun and interesting.
