Trip Informations
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.
Why you’ll love this trip
verified
Glide through the lily pad-filled waterways of the Okavango Delta on a mokoro (a small dugout canoe) and escape civilisation with an overnight stay at your island camp.
verified
Be mesmerised by the staggering force and beauty of Victoria Falls, and experience firsthand why it’s known as the ‘smoke that thunders’ – a natural wonder that must be seen to be believed.
verified
Choose to take an optional cruise down the Chobe River for the opportunity to get up close (but not too personal) to cheetahs, crocodiles and the African elephant.
verified
Listen to the songs and stories of Namibia’s San people, the oldest inhabitants of southern Africa, and gain an insight into their traditional customs and beliefs.
verified
Enjoy a full-day game drive in Etosha National Park, home to a wide range of southern Africa's wildlife, including the endangered black rhino.

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

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.

This was an excellent trip. Though there is some long travel days, each of these always had some amazing sights or experiences, some quite unexpected. The crew were all fantastic. The tour leader, Benson, was always happy, knowledgeable, helpful and provided good advice, even a bit of first aid (in my case). The driver, Jackson, was amazing. You always felt safe, was so friendly, and he seemed to have the perfect knack of turning up just to help with things (e.g. setting up tents). Silvia, the chef did an amazing job with the meals, whether it was on the side of the road or in a camp site - they were always delicious. Her hygiene in meal preparation and clean-up, including ensuring all of the group were diligent, was perfect.
All crew members mixed in really well with the group.

Have just had a fantastic 3 weeks from Vic Falls to Cape Town with Laban,Francis and John. Laban was our guide,so very knowledgeable and looked after us well. They said we would have a cook, Francis’s was a chef! His meals were brilliant and he took great pride in preparing them. Topped off by John our very capable driver. Would recomend this trip.

I have done 2 other overlands and this one with Intrepid is by far the best. Very well lead by Laban, Francis and John. Some wonderful memories created and very well organised. I would highly recommend this group and Intrepid.

This trip far exceeded my expectations. More than incredible wildlife, we experienced fascinating history, culture and spectacular landscapes. The Okavango Delta was a highlight. Paul’s knowledge and professionalism were outstanding, while Nick’s delicious meals and John’s driving and humour made the journey unforgettable. An amazing experience 5/5

We absolutely loved this trip, such a variety of landscapes, animals and culture. Our crew, Paul, Nick and John, were all absolutely incredible and ensured we were safe and well fed (even as vegetarians). Would highly recommend, although bring your own sleeping bags as the Inrepid ones were too thin in July!

A great trip, with an excellent itinerary - nearly every day was a highlight! Our crew (Stanley Mambo the Guide, Caleb the Chef, Kim the Driver) really made it special for us. We were so well looked after at all times and Caleb catered brilliantly for myself and my daughter with vegan diets.
