Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

- VVVerena· September 13th, 2024Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThere were basically only 7 real travel days, for two 18 year olds the other travel companions were quite old. Sometimes food was included in the accommodation and sometimes not included the next day, even though we were still in the same accommodation. The visit to the village was great and the elephantsShow more
Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Verena, thank you for your review. We are surprised there were not more people who were similar in age, but there is always someone/some people who will be the youngest. We do hope you managed to connect with some of the other travellers during your...

I did not know what to expect and was incredibly impressed by all aspects of the tour. Our local guide Hasif, is truely passionate and enthusiastic about his role because of this I felt I was given the best experience possibleShow moreTrip date: February 2019
- APiper B· September 18th, 2019Well managed, a fantastic guide (thanks Hasif!!) and a great way to get around Borneo without feeling too much like a loud, intrusive touristTrip date: February 2019
- AMichael M· September 18th, 2019Great itinerary and awesome guide. Hasif shared a lot of his knowledge about Sabah. The mountain climb was stunning.Trip date: February 2019
- AFlynn D· September 18th, 2019Had great fun on this trip, saw lots of wildlife and met great people! Our tour guide Hasif was a major reason for our excellent experience.Trip date: February 2019
- AMichael H· September 18th, 2019The trip was very good with many experiences included.Trip date: February 2019
- AWilliam H· September 18th, 2019Manuiel Gidiun was an excellent guide with exceptional knowledge about the wildlife, culture, history and geography of Sabah and Malaysia. He often went out of his way to make the experience more enjoyable and organised the the trip very well. Sabah in general also lived up to my high expectations. Amazing scenery and wildlife.Show moreTrip date: December 2018
- AMatthew B· September 18th, 2019The trip was made amazing by our leader Manuel, who's passion, knowledge, and enthusiasm for his home country was the highlight of my trip.Trip date: December 2018
- AGeorgia T· September 18th, 2019Whilst we experienced some itinerary changes and weather concerns, our guide was very good in adapting to the changes well and ensuring our time and money were well spent. Our guide was full of knowledge regarding both the sites we visited and additional questions asked about a very wide range of topics. The tour was well adapted to the age group, although free time could be more carefully allocated as some locations did not have enough activities available to fill the time. Despite this, I would highly recommend the tour and Manuiel. He was exceptional!Show moreTrip date: December 2018
- AKaitlyn F· September 18th, 2019I gave this score because of my excellent trip leader. He was happy, accommodating, and always sought to ensure we were having a great time. What was lacking was the value for money and itinerary. We had a fair bit of free time that could have resulted in the trip being compressed. I’d skip the hot springs entirely as everything was closed on the day we were there, and it was so busy with locals that we could barely enjoy the springs. We were also stared at the entire time so it wasn’t particularly enjoyable.Show moreTrip date: December 2018
