- ZZoe· February 13th, 2017This tour was amazing! The itinerary was well thought-out and didn't leave anything to chance, or miss anything I wanted to see. It felt very comprehensive, though, of course, there's always more to see wherever you go. I was impressed with Intrepid's concern about safety on activities (they risk assess all activities that are recommended by their guides) and ethics, both re: animal welfare and cultural safety. I was expecting the food to be very basic and not particularly exciting but I was wrong. This tour includes a cook, and your "participation" in cooking basically just includes shopping food up - the cook plans your meals and actually cooks them. Which makes for a more relaxing time. Not only that but the food was amazing. Curries, pasta with excellent sauces, lamb chops - you name it, we had it. And they catered well for vegetarians as well. In particular though, the team really made this trip worthwhile. I particularly want to that Chris, Peter, and David (CT to Nairobi section) for making things feel so comfortable, and making sure everyone felt safe during the trip. I also really appreciated Chris's knowledge of the areas we traveled through, which he shared around campfires at night. Overall, I highly recommend this tour as a very comprehensive 'introduction' to Southern and Eastern Africa. I would absolutely travel with Intrepid again given the high quality of service.Show more

Asked on July 12th, 2022how many people of my age are usually on such tours? i assume that one can do washing en route?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2022
our groups are a completely mixed bag and on a trip like this you can expect to have people joining in their 20's-70's. As it is a combo tour (aka. made up of shorter tours), you can expect the group to also change throughout. Right now, I have people booked on all sectors with ages ranging from 30's to 60's. Solo travellers and pairs. The group might change/fill up in the coming weeks but that's a bit of a snapshot. Washing is definitely possible along the way and the Tour Leader will be there to help you and advise when it's available so you can 'budget' accordingly.
