My first time in the Sub-Saharan Africa, I felt well taken care of, had an amazing crew and fellow travellers, and saw animals up close like never before.

An amazing adventure experience. With great staff guiding you through activities and locations. Camping was fun and stress free. Would 100% recommend.

The Okavanga Experience exceeded expectations! We were a group of 17, expertly guided by three staff members. The itinerary, starting in South Africa, camping through Botswana, and ending in Zimbabwe, was excellently paced. We saw so many animals and learned a lot via interactions with local people and our fantastic crew. As a solo female traveler, I felt perfectly safe at all times. The camping in the Delta was a special highlight. Very enthusiastically recommended! Thanks for this fantastic experience!

We were a family of 4 travelling to Africa for the first time. Although apprehensive at first, our guide, driver and chef provided us with the most incredible experience. We met the most amazing people and built core memories with our teenagers.

As a teenager I wasn’t sure what to expect from an adventure holiday with my parents and younger sister. Wow! What an incredible experience. I learnt so much about a beautiful country. I’ll be going back to Africa during my gap year to explore even more!

A fabulous experience to see such amazing animals in their own habitat. It’s the 2nd time we have used intrepid, they are so well organised. Definitely recommend them!

We’re here for the animals— and this trip exceeded our expectations with sightings of exotic animals in their natural habitats. Well organized itinerary with game drives, walks, and boat trips. Camping was a great budget-friendly experience; although I hadn’t camped for years, I was comfortable and slept well.

Cannot recommend this trip highly enough. What an amazing experience, it’s a lot of travel and early mornings but 100% worth it. The team that looked after us were incredible! Thank you, you made it very special.

Amazing experiences viewing wild animals. Botswana is wonderful because it is uncrowded. There are elephants EVERYWHERE. Putting the tent up and down nearly everyday can be tough, but the bigger takeaway will be the game drives and game walks. The delta is beautiful. Book the trip. It is worth it. I traveled alone as a 30ish year old woman and felt safe at all times (with the exception of some nerves about how close some of the wild animals get - yes lions roaring and bull elephants walking extremely close). A few packing notes/tips: Quick dry towel and quick dry clothes are worth the purchase. Bug net in the winter is not. There are hardly any bugs in late July. There are rarely any hand dryers or paper towels in bathrooms, so a small quick dry towel would have actually been helpful to keep on yourself or in your bag. Pack some utility-like gloves for the tents. The tents end up covered in dust and some of the metal clips and poles can be quite difficult, especially in cold temperatures. Your fingers will thank you. You do need a beanie and puffer and GOOD sleeping bag if you're going in July.
