    Khensani was great and definitely managed the overall team and tour. A couple of recommendations - the tour should review the condition of some of the camps to assess their services (e.g. a couple of times there was not hot water/showers available) to see if they are still in good repair and clean. The farm stay proved to be awkward and difficult and some of the guests were uncomfortable with the atmosphere - I would recommend changing this stop. The stay and tour in the Delta - including the guides operating in the concession - and Soweto were absolute highlights. Zimbabwe and Victoria falls were also great!! If there is some way to break up the long drive to Soweto from the Rhino sanctuary (maybe another stop) that would be helpful. Re-working the meal plan to include snacks (if not lunch) on the travel days would have made us more comfortable. I'm concerned about the fact the driver was not able to drive for the last 2 days - Khen was great but it put him a difficult position.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

      We can absolutely inform our local team on the ground about your coeliac/gluten-free requirements. While you're not vegetarian or vegan, we'll make sure your needs are communicated clearly so that you're not mistakenly grouped with other dietary preferences that don't suit you. Your trip crew will plan meals with the whole group in mind, including any dietary restrictions, and will do their best to prepare options that are both safe and satisfying for you.
