Experience three of southern Africa’s most phenomenal wildlife viewing sites in search of the world’s most spectacular animals – Hwange National Park, Kruger National Park and Matobo National Park. Spend nine days in search of the Big Five (that’s lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalo) and more on this journey through South Africa and Zimbabwe. Plus, you’ll enjoy time in a traditional village in the Limpopo province and visit South Africa's modern capital – all the while uncovering Africa's incredible and diverse natural beauty.

The thought of camping was a bit daunting to be honest but I needn’t have worried, it was fantastic! I loved the variety of experiences we had on this trip. The home stay was awesome, we met some amazing people and had so much fun with the locals. The game drives were out of this world and action packed. If you are short on time and/ or finances this gives you a great opportunity to experience Africa.

This trip was an amazing view into the life and culture in South Africa and Zimbabwe. We were able to see so many beautiful animals, like lions, hippos, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, warthogs - the list goes on - and learned so much. The homestay and village visits were also a particularly special experience. The tents were super spacious and sturdy (get one to yourself for plenty of bag room)! Shout out to Njabulo, our guide, Fitz, our cook, and Chris, our driver! You all made this trip what it was!

Brilliant tour where I was amazed at all I saw, including all of the Big Five. We had a small, lovely, easy-going group - it was a pleasure to be with them and we helped each other out. Awesome tour guide. The food was delicious and there was lots of it. I was worried about the camping, but it turned out to be fine. Don't forget a head torch!

Incredible trip, the included activities were very well planned and we experienced such a range of activities! Tshepo was so informative and went out of his way to ensure we had the most amazing trip.

My Intrepid experience surpassed my expectations. I was kept informed leading up to and during all activities of the holiday. I learnt so much due to the well informed crew and felt secure in all aspects of the trip. Having a local Guide who shared his knowledge and welcomed feedback, meant we gained the full impact of our experiences. All events went to plan and the itinerary ran smoothly as a group. due to being well planned and daily briefings by our Leader Tshepo and his crew who worked together to make it all a success.

Excellent trip if you enjoy looking at animals. Camping facilities are great and the guides were approachable, professional and informative. I would recommend this trip.

This trip is incredible for animal and adventure lovers! Chris, Joe and Lizzy went above and beyond to ensure our safety, knowledge and comfort was paramount throughout. The entire itinerary is packed full of animal magic and truly shows what African life is like. Camping facilities were brilliant too, I’ve never slept better! If in doubt, book!!!

I cried seeing the elephants and giraffes at sunset. We saw so much and did so much over 9 days! Camping in the bush was so great. The homestay in the village was an amazing experience. The group we were with was amazing. It's a life changing trip!

Even into our 60's, the Victoria Falls to Kruger camping safari trip was awesome. Fantastic to see wild animals in their natural habitat so close. Wonderful to see and appreciate their environment. Well worth doing.
11/23/2023
There’s a lot to see and do on this trip. I enjoyed it all with an awesome crew (Tshepo, Lizzy and Shimane) and some great co-travellers.
12/20/2023
As an older couple in our 60's and not lots of camping experience, we decided this was the trip for us based on locations, length and variety. The Intrepid crew of Tshepo, Mama Lizzy and Shimane certainly made sure this was a great experience and one that we'll remember always. Already planning the next one.

A fantastic trip with an outstanding crew and fun group of travellers. Njabulo and the crew kept us safe, full of delicious food and laughing all the way. A great trip for solo travellers, with some lovely campsites and lots of animals.

This was an unforgettable experience! A well planned route, well executed and thoroughly enjoyed by all. I honestly felt like I had not a worry in the world the entire trip. Dumisani was such a generous and caring leader for everyone on the Tour, Riccy was accomodating and flexible with his meals and even went above and beyond to ensure we were experiencing authentic meals. Gift was a great driver, got involved and helped out with the group and did a good job a dodging 90% of the potholes.

Absolute once in a life time experience. Our trip felt like real and raw Southern Africa with the comforts of great food cooked by in house chef, quality tents, roomy overland truck and 3 fantastic, professional and supportive guides. This trip exceeded all expectations and enabled us to create life long memories! Our first of many tours with Intrepid!
