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...

    This 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.
