  Had a fantastic time in South Africa with Intro. This would be my 4th Intro tour (Vietnam, Cambodia and Mexico), and it did not disappoint. Me and my partner were saying this was one of the top holidays we've been on. South Africa offers so much variety and that's what we did on the trip. The safaris we went on saw all sorts of wildlife in their natural habitats. To see the giraffes, rhinos and hippos so close was mind blowing. The food and wine was always fantastic. We had half a day at a local adventure park for some high adrenaline activities. We learnt so much of SA's sad history of apartheid and the aftermath to the country. We visited some very poverty stricken communities where we bought food and learning supplies and spent some time with them. Always felt safe with the tour and our Tour Guide Liezl was fantastic. So many great advice and knowledge. Highly recommend this tour, jam packed full of activities.

  Nice place, had stuff to do every day. Tour guide/group leder was always the last one to bed, helping me keep the party going as long as possible. Got taken to nice restaurants and to beatiful viewpoints every day.

  Just returned home from the 12 day Intro Tour in South Africa and wow what an amazing experience it was! From start to finish the tour was so efficiently planned out. Our group leader was Dan and his proactiveness and willingness to go above and beyond really eased the whole process for a first time solo traveller; messaging about transport options from the airport, daily packing lists and itinerary reminders, as well as being a really enthusiastic and fun guy. His love for South Africa shone through and made our experience incredible. As well as that we had a local guide called Liezl who’s knowledge on her country was next to none, regularly providing story times on the bus and cultural facts as well as her love for birds on the game drives haha! She also went above and beyond in making the trip both memorable and informative. The overall trip itinerary was perfect! Starting off with the important history of South Africa in Johannesburg which set the scene for the trip before travelling round on game drives and seeing all the amazing wildlife South Africa has, truly a once in a lifetime experience. The culture in South Africa is really incredible and the locals loved putting on performances for us and getting us involved. And finally we arrived in Cape Town, which stole my heart. The most beautiful city on earth! South Africa I will be back and Intro Travel, thank you for making this trip all that it is!

  I’ve just done the 12 day South Africa tour and it was honestly the best time ever. Dan was our tour guide and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us around the country. 1000% recommend this tour and also intro travel as a whole.

  I just completed the South Africa trip and I’m incredibly grateful for the experience. I had Dan as my group leader and Diggie as my local tour guide. Diggie led the cultural side of the tour and as well as sharing his knowledge about South Africa including its history, he always answered any questions in great depth and drew upon his own personal experiences and stories. Everything was very well organised throughout thanks to Dan, he ensured we safely travelled from one place to the next. Dan continuously went out of his way to add in extra activities such as visiting multiple view points which many tour guides don’t do. Dan has a huge passion for South Africa and is also very knowledge about the country. He would always point out interesting facts about each place. Being a vegan in a meat heavy country is never easy however, Dan made sure that there were options in every place and always asked if there was something suitable for me. Travelling to a new country can always feel a bit daunting however I do really appreciate Dan for being in contact prior to the tour starting and letting us know information including what to pack, where to meet when you land as well as answering any questions. It definitely put my mind at ease. Part way throughout the trip I felt unwell and Dan was super caring and took the time to check in with me which I greatly appreciated. I also really like Intro for supporting local communities - Dan encouraged us to purchase from locals where possible to help support their families. A highlight of the trip for me is definitely seeing all of the wildlife including the big 5. I kept an open mind as this isn’t a guarantee but was super lucky to see them all. Everyday felt like an adventure and I wish I could do it all over again. This is my third trip with Intro and I have already placed a deposit for another one! Dan, thank you for a once in a lifetime experience!! 😊

  South Africa 12 Day Tour - 9th September 2024 Group Leader: Dan Local Guide: Sam Literally just landed home from this incredible trip this morning, and cannot stop gushing about what an exceptional time I had. This was my first trip with INTRO Travel, but thanks to the experience provided by Dan and Sam, it definitely won't be my last. Already got my deposit down for the next one! Firstly - the trip exceeded all of my expectations and was incredible value for money. The included travel, meals,activities, knowledge and accommodation were all amazing - I felt like I got the most incredible experience for the amount of money I paid. I've been on group trips before with other companies, but Dan and Sam were miles ahead of every other group experience trip I've had. Having two guides was absolutely amazing - there was more knowledge to go around but it also meant that the group could split into interest activities with ease. 2 guides between 15 people meant that nobody felt left behind - we had incredible organisation and planning from Dan, and invaluable local knowledge from Sam as a SA local. Given that most local guides clock off at dinner, Sam was absolutely incredible. She cooked traditional SA food for us, shared all of her wildlife and plant knowledge, and just seemed to happy to be sharing her country with our group. This totally elevated our experience of South Africa - Sam lives to live, and that personality was so infectious. I never imagined I'd be running in the ocean in the dark searching for sea louse - but Sam's passion for life and her country just swept me up into experiences that will last a lifetime. I'm also so grateful for her honesty and vulnerability when talking about her experiences and her country. I hope to take her seize the day attitude into my home life!! Dan was our group leader, and managed the overall tour. I genuinely have no words for how special he made our trip. I've had experiences with other travel groups in the past (not INTRO) where the group leader just did not want to be there, and gave the bare minimum. Dan could not have been further from this. His passion for the country and for travelling meant that every hour felt like an adventure. He went above and beyond for our itinerary and accommodation, when he really didn't need to. Whether it was extra view points, upgraded accommodation, or pushing for late checkouts - Dan did absolutely everything possible to make this trip unforgettable. From pre-arrival checkins and advice to on tour organisation. He put our group's experience and enjoyment at the top of every list, and I cannot thank him enough for making a dream trip feel so effortless and stress free. Dan was also really helpful for post tour activities!! Lots of groups boast post-tour support, but Dan really provided. I was pretty organised before I flew out, but he still had recommendations and airport suggestions too. I know he also helped other members of the group to book hotels and extra activities on tour too! This is a really special INTRO feature - especially for solo travellers! If South Africa is on your list, book with INTRO - I cannot recommend it enough.. Made a group of friends for life, and have discovered a newfound love for a beautiful, new country 🇿🇦
