Customer Reviews

    · June 15th, 2025
    This was an excellent trip. We had great encounters, up close, with the wild life and now have our own video documentaries. Momba was an excellent leader who knew the history, geography, culture and politics of the countries which led to very interesting discussions and a better understanding of Africa. We were pleased that Charlie and Sam, the cook and driver were also cheerfully willing to discuss Africa with us. We highly recommend this tour to others.

      TravelerWritten March 2024

      I had a look at the itinerary before and there is no walking safari included so we were wondering if it was possible.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten March 2024

      I reached out to our local operators to check whether it's possible for you to do this Safari during this tour.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten March 2024

      Safari & Nature walk is included in the tour.
