  Really great tour, I chose a good time of the year(june) and so it felt like I had the place to myself. The kruger and surrounding game parks were all magic and the bundle lodge where I stayed was just an absolute pleasure. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming, it felt like a home away from home. And the food was better than most restaurants I have been to. Highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

  Overall this tour was fantastically organised and a must do if you’re heading to South Africa! All the local guides were very friendly, had a vast range of knowledge and very helpful. They were very willing to answer questions and give info of the country on the whole. The safari guides knowledge of the animals was exceptional and tailored the safaris to what we request which made it even better. There were some early mornings and quite a bit of traveling, as described on the trip notes, but it’s totally worth it for what you see in the 4 days. You still get a chill day at the lodge which is very nice with the options of a massage. Would have loved to have been told a couple more options for the free day like the rehabilitation centre close by for example - but can appreciate most people want the free time to chill. Potentially on the 4 day itinerary have the chilled day in the middle to break up the early mornings? But the itinerary is obviously very well thought out and runs so smoothly so you can sit back, relax and enjoy Kruger. The bundox lodge is perfect! Amazing food, awesome staff and very comfortable in such a unique setting. If you have the cash it is definitely worth doing this tour to Kruger for the stress free nature and the very well thought out itinerary. Had an amazing, once in a lifetime experience!

  Animal sighting in chosen area was not good, they should have chosen a better area for safari. Panorama trip could have been done on the last day back to johanesburg to save time.

  The lodge(Bundox) was fantastic! Great staff, nice glamping type accomadations(plus an amazing partly outdoor shower), bug spray in all rooms, and delicious food when eating at the restaurant. The pre-packed meals for the safari day were okay.... After waking up at 5am, they did not serve us breakfast until 10am, and by then I was starvvving! I also take medicine in the morning so an earlier breakfast would have been appreciated. Luckily I packed snack but not everyone did. We waited about an hour before actually getting into Kruger Park and I would suggest to Intrepid to serve breakfast(even if it meant eating in the vehicle) during that waiting period. The guides were great though and a nice variety of tours were included. The reason I did not give this tour a higher rating is the communication prior to departure was poor. We had no idea where we were staying and many things listed under items to pack(Things like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bug spray, lotion, etc were all provided. I also would have appreciated being given the adaptor types as I had to pack four just in case) were not needed because of this. Apparently they recently changed to a different lodge but I would still like to be given an idea of where I am staying. Also, no communicatiom before being picked up at the hotel so you wait and hope you will be picked up. Otherwise, great tour! Perfect amount of time as well.

  The trip in Kruger was not what I expected, focus was on the Orpen gate area, the different gides was good and new where to go to find the different animals. Transportation from Johannesburg to Kruger was a nightmare, the driver was speeding and we were relived to reach out destination intact. The Lodge my sister and I found very disapointing, one does not expect a lot of comforts in the bush but at least cleanliness would have been nice.

  We booked a Kruger experience tour with Intrepid. Unfortunately my wife experienced a sudden illness condition about 40 days prior to departure and she was not able to do any air travel. Dealing with Intrepid was a shocking experience. They were not prepared to change our dates and charged us a 50% cancellation fee of the total tour cost. Even though we had provided Intrepid notice well in advance of the tour date. In addition they took over 7 days to advise us that they could not move the dates and would need to cancel. Furthermore, I made a direct complaint to their complaints department on how we were treated and never received a response. Please be aware that Intrepid have significant cancellation penalties and are not responsive or even try to help you out once they have your money. I will never be booking a tour with Intrepid.
