- MSMelvin· March 17th, 2020I had an excellent time
Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewWe are so happy you had an amazing time in Southern Africa Melvin!Trip date: February 2020 - ALAdina· November 16th, 2019Excellent trip. Very knowledgeable guide, the cook Kevin prepared special food for me since I don’t eat red meat or pork and the driver Shimoni has an eagle eye for spotting animals. Lots of early starts and long drives, setting up and breaking down tents, but as they say, “TIA” (this is Africa). Truly a trip of a lifetime!Show moreTrip date: October 2019
- NSNadeshda· July 19th, 2019Our guide, cook and driver were the best part of the trip. They were very friendly and looked after the whole group. You get to see so many amazing animals. The Okavango Delta was a once in a life time experience.Trip date: September 2017

- TLTIN· May 9th, 2018Very bad customer service at all, do not respect his customer and meet their need. He only care about the inventory of the first Aid box, and do not treat Customer's safety as his first priority.

- BLBENG· March 31st, 2018The transportation truck should be fitted with better suspensions. It was a bone shaker on rough dirt-road. The tent that I stayed had leaks on the floor and at the corner, most probably punched by thorns and stones on the ground. However, the meals were good.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi, Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences. I’ve taken that trip myself, what an incredible journey. You’re right, conditions can be rough at times – all part of the adventure that is Southern Africa! Hope to see you on another trip... Show more
Trip date: March 2018 - AAnonymous· March 21st, 2018Such an unforgettable trip! The Okavango delta was stunning and shouldn’t be missed! Our time their camping, eating and dancing with the local mokkoro “drivers” was unforgettable, and though I thought the animals would be the highlight, it was the people who truly made the experience.
