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 (unless you’re on an Original or Comfort style trip), occasionally roughing it in the bush with no facilities, and getting the best possible views of the Big Five. For more info on this style of travel, see our Africa overland page: https://www.tuuur.com/africa/overland https://www.tuuur.com/africa/overland (https://www.tuuur.com/africa/overland)

As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make better use of the safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.
Itinerary
Explore the contrasting lands of southern Africa
Experience the extremes of southern Africa’s landscapes on this trip that travels from the thunderous Victoria Falls to cosmopolitan Cape Town, travel down lush waterways in the enigmatic Okavango Delta, cruise past elephants and birds on the Chobe River, climb giant sand dunes in Namibia, camp to the sounds of Africa's wildlife and spot big cats, rhinos, zebras and antelopes on Etosha National Park's arid plains. Visit the people who make their homes here, from mokoro polers on the delta to the San people of Namibia.

Even though it was the start of the wet season this trip delivered what it promised. The wildlife encounters were awesome, campsites well above expectations and overland travel pretty comfy. Be prepared for early starts and long travel times but also lots of downtime.

This trip exceeded expectations! Our intrepid team was great Dan, Ot and Ken made us feel right at home. We saw so many animals, all of the big 5 and more. Amazing sights everyday. Camping was great all amenities were very good just be prepared for "camping facilities" overall would recommend this trip and Intrepid to anyone.

Utterly mind blowing. Incredible team (and group dynamic) and we had some amazing luck (and Team Leader Dan's astoundingly eagle-eyed spotting) to see a truly remarkable number of animals. Even the long driving days were so full of breathtaking landscapes and added info that the time flew by. Dan, chef OT and driver Ken deserve a medal each (and a pay rise!). Our absolute A-Team ❤️

Great experience…actually enjoyed the simplicity of camping and always felt well catered for by a professional and friendly team. And the destinations….the animals, birds, culture and gobsmacking scenery, just stunning. First time in Africa…what a blast!

From start to finish this trip exceeded all of my expectations. We saw some of the most beautiful landscapes, all of the big five as well as lots more. The planning of this trip was well thought out and all of the team made the boarder crossings a breeze. All of the camping facilities had great amenities and the campsites were all clean and spacious. Didn’t need to upgrade once. The team made us all feel like a family, especially spending Christmas and new years together. Over all this trip was absolutely incredible, I will be recommending Intrepid and this trip in the future.

Our Christmas with Intrepid at Spitzkoppe, Namibia, will be a treasured memory thanks to the celebration surprise the Intrepid team put on for us, the great bunch of fellow travellers we have met and become firm friends with, and the amazing place Africa is.
