Is this trip right for you?
verified
This trip is made for travellers who value their independence but also want the benefit of a local leader and a group of like-minded travellers. The itinerary has a mix of included activities and free time when your leader will offer suggestions. Please budget spending money for optional activities you want to partake in.
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, got to https://www.tuuur.com/au/africa/overland https://www.tuuur.com/au/africa/overland (https://www.tuuur.com/au/africa/overland)
verified
Camp in the Serengeti National Park itself without fences between you and the animals. Your leader will brief you on the safety measures the group will need to take for the 2 nights spent in the park.
verified
This is a ‘combo’ tour, which mean it’s made up of two or more itineraries that we have fit together. That means some passengers on this trip will have been travelling together prior to the start of your journey.
verified
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 to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.

After dreaming of travelling to Africa for many years the experience was better then I could've imagined.
As an inexperienced solo female traveller Intrepid was the perfect option, I would definately use them again and would recommend them highly.
The organisation ensured that everything needed was provided.
I look forward to future travelling adventures.

I have had the best experience on this trip. Driver Philip, chef Dan and leader Dan made this trip for me! They gelled so well as a group that it made such a positive impact on the entire group. They are all so friendly and helpful. I learned a lot on this trip and I will definitely come back.

It was an amazing trip all the way from Capetown to Nairobi and The Gorilla Trip. The landscapes, the nature, the culture, the people, but especially the crew.( Victor, the guide, Djohn the Driver and Wilson the chef. All professionals. all teambuilders. And all really nice guys. They made the trip beside the good accomodations complete.

Long drives every few days which get exhausting. Some great inclusions on the itinerary, some not so much. The Malawi village walk is a sham; the local guide helped locals pressure the Intrepid group into buying tacky souvenirs for absurd prices. The Rhino trek in Bulawayo is worth the money, although it should have included more Rhino spotting and trekking. I would recommend other trips in Africa over this one.

Future Travellers: please expect the first half of this trip to be mostly travelling in an un-air conditioned vehicle, long days, early starts and lots of amazing food.
Paying by card is very hard to come by in almost all countries, and CLEAN USD bills are required for almost all purchases and border visas from Zimbabwe to Malawi. Take out way more USD bills than you think you will spend on activities, visas and gifts/snacks for your trip, and an additional $500 for emergencies through Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Also the KAZA Visa - Cannot be used for the Zambian overland border. You need a seperate visa for this.
All in all; amazing trip - the crew are spectacular, and your fellow travellers will be like family within 24hrs and they always have amazing stories to share on the long drives. Don't forget to look out the window!
It's a great trip, as long as you are prepared, are happy to get down and dirty and can sleep almost anywhere! An amazing way to see this part of the continent.
