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...

    Because of some of the accommodation

    The trip was well planned. We always were informed. Tawanda was a terrific guide. Gordon was a great driver despite not given an adequate vehicle (4we)

    The trip was well organised and the guides were brilliant. The tour was also well represented by the description on the website. We didn't give it a 5 because there was a lot of driving and the accommodation on one of the nightsdid not match the style of accommodation described on the itinerary. The itinerary could be improved if you could fly into the delta on the end of the scenic flight (one way flight). The day driving from Maun to the delta was really really long and on very uncomfortable roads. Our driver did an amazing job on that drive but the trip would have been far more enjoyable if we could fly in to the delta!

    Although the guides and overall “highlights” of Botswana were wonderful, itinerary changes required due to weather/water conditions in the Okavango Delta were not properly managed by Intrepid. Our driver struggled with an inappropriate vehicle for hundreds of additional kilometers of driving on very poor roads to reach our alternative (stellar) destination at Jumbo Junction. Further disruptions were created by ferry failures — clearly out of Intrepid’s control. In retrospect, it seems that our small group could have been better transported either with a proper 4-wheel vehicle suitable to the roads OR by boat.

    Too much travelling time, in a van (not SUV) over really bad roads.

    The tour was amazing from the moment we met our group and leader until the sad morning we all said good bye. The accommodation was fantastic, the air conditioned bus comfortable and the activities unforgettable.

    The locations were great, the accommodations were fantastic, particularly Jumbo Junction. Our guide Philip was knowledgeable, helpful and good to have around, and our driver Ernest was reliable, managed to get us out of a few awkward moments and great fun. Both Philip and Ernest made it a holiday to remember. Oh …… and the elephants, so many elephants.

    Our second time with Intrepid, and once again organisation was excellent and the tour guide Johannes and Gift the driver were very well trained, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful in every way.

    You need to either cancel giving this tour or give it a serious re-think. The tour was expensive and we did not get any value at all. It was a drive only. The tour included nothing. I felt ripped off.
