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...

    Interpret war ein sehr guter Anbieter. Nur die Buchung über Tourradar war nicht besonders reibungslos.

    It was an arranged tour by Intrepid together with their lodge/private reserve partners. As for me, I stayed at Bondux lodge and I has a great experience. The staff were friendly and well informed. The accommodation is great, meals and optional activities. I enjoyed chilling at the deack and watching the animals come. Also, the optional activity that I took was Endangered Animals Reserve and Blyde Canyon boat tour.

    First time participation. First and last Africa. It was great to experience this safari. 6 hours to go, 8 hours to return, not much trouble. Close to the Big 5 was seen. It's not a zoo. now. A wild, lively animal is in front of you. Impressive thing.

    Kruger is amazing, as was the game drive. If I were to do it again, I'd change my optional day's itinerary from the panorama route tour (overpriced for what you get, and you see the best part of it included in your return drive to joburg) for another day in Kruger.

    5+ Stars! I had the most AMAZING experience with INTREPID on a safari in South Africas, Kruger National Park. We saw all the big 5, ate well, felt safe, and had an absolutely amazing once in a lifetime type guide! I very strongly advise those who choose this trip to ask for a man who works at the Timbaviti game lodge named Johane. This is the guy you want taking you on African safari for the unforgettable experience and amazing photographs! The highest of recommendations for this guide and his camping safari. -Tristan

    The entire trip was well organized. All the drivers and guides were very friendly and helpful. The only thing that we did not like was the optional day because we haven't been informed by our lodge about the options and by the time we wanted to book something they told us that all the tours were fully booked, so we basically had a down day. So if you are planning to do this trip I would recommend that you ask about the options for the optional day upon arrival and be sure to make up your mind early enough in order to get your spot. Accomodation was ok with very friendly staff.

    The trip was very good, and an experience to remember! If anything, it has only made us want to visit Kruger once again :) The lodging was very comfortable, and the staff were extremely polite, kind and engaging. The guides who accompanied us on our safaris were also very friendly and knowledgeable while indulging us in our innumerable 'golden' photo opportunities :D All in all, it was a wonderful experience. P.S.: One incident that didn't sit well with us was how one of the lodge owners spoke to a staff member. It was uncomfortably reminiscent of South Africa's recent racial past.

    • Can you arrange a pre/post accommodation for us?
