This was one of the BEST vacations of my life!! I went on a true safari and got to see all the animals I wanted to see. David was the perfect group leader with his knowledge of animals and cared about the groups fun. This is a trip everyone should take if they want an exciting safari and with a great leader. I would certainly love to take this trip again should the opportunity arise.

This is a trip of a lifetime type trip. If you are looking for an unforgettable Safari experience you can not beat this intrepid trip. Everything is very taken care of, excellent food and and perfect experience. I would highly rate the premium trip as the way to go. You won't regret spending the money for sure. THis is very inclusive and you need very little extra. Remember the roads are dusty and you want a sun hate and repelant. You do have to tip some so make sure to bring lots of small dollar bills for luggage and porters. Bring lots of american $1 bills! American money can be used throughout Kenya and Tanzania. We didn't exchange at all. Also they like new American bills in good condition, so no tears and try to bring >2017 for bigger bills. Drinks about $5 a piece for big beers/ drinks. CC in hotels is ok. Bring some bug wipes, and sun cream. And there are laundry stops about every 4-5 days so don't over pack. I loved it!

Absolutely recommend the premium Tanzania Safari. Our group Leader David was absolutely wonderful - his organisation and kindness meant the world to us. Our schedules and expectations were carefully explained at each evening, and we were blown away with our interaction with Tanzania’s beautiful and unique wildlife. A once in a lifetime experience, so very grateful.

This was an amazing Safari, It ticked all boxes and went beyond any of my expections. It was marred only by the post tour arrangements organised by Intrepid Travel, at our request on booking, was discovered to be excessive in cost.

It was fantastic to see the wild animals in there natural environment. Some of the un-fenced camps were an amazing experience with animals passing through during the night. I would highly recommend to friends and family.
