Africa Tours & Holidays
Souqs, savannas, safaris and the Sahara – the lure of Africa is its diverse wildlife, thousands of cultures and breathtaking landscapes.
Originally meaning ‘to travel’ in Arabic and Swahili, the word ‘safari’ can describe many types of epic adventure in Africa. There’s the ancient Egypt kind – discovering the lost city of Abu Simbel and the Valley of the Kings. The nomadic one – veering away from Morocco’s souqs and medinas and being hosted by a Berber family in the Sahara. The local village version – cherishing moments of interaction with Maasai, San and Malagasy cultures. And, of course, the wildlife way – heading in search of the Big Five in any number of game reserves and parks: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Kruger and Lake Nakuru, to name a few. What does your African adventure look like?

Search for the Big Five
On safari, it’s all about getting as close as you can to the elusive Big Five – the African elephant, black rhino, Cape buffalo, African lion and African leopard. Pack your camera and keep your eyes peeled to the grasslands as you travel in a custom-built Overland vehicle on the trip of a lifetime.
Eat more of Morocco
There’s no better way to get to know a place than to learn about its cuisine! Among the sights, sounds and souqs of Morocco, salivate over street-side snacks at Marrakech’s Djemma el-Fna market, taste a tagine in Tangier and embark on a food-focused experience at a Berber family homestay high in the Atlas Mountains.
Trek the heights of Kilimanjaro
KenyaTanzania, and trekking to the summit to see the sprawling plains below is definitely worth the long days on the trail.
Meet with Maasai warriors
The wide-open plains of Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve are not only home to herds of wild animals, but also to the welcoming communities of the Maasai people. Join these red-clad warriors to learn about their vibrant customs and culture, witness the famous jumping dances and discover their traditional way of life.
Encounter a gorilla in Rwanda
There are only two populations of mountain gorillas left in the entire world – one of which is in Rwanda. After the effort of trekking into the thick jungle, once you’re near a silverback or can spot a female nursing her baby you’ll know the muddy trek was worth it.
Mokoro down the Okavango
Days spent overlanding on safari are incredible, but what about wildlife spotting from the water? Traverse the channels of Botswana's Okavango Delta by mokoro – a traditional dugout canoe – through the maze of reeds and lagoons, searching for the region’s most unique and unusual creatures and birdlife.

Okavango Experience
Wendy · Traveled April 2024
Such an amazing trip. I have been travelling for over 47 years including 4 other Intrepid trips and this rates as one of the best!! Sandile was an excellent tour leader. Always cheerful with so much knowledge and a great sense of humour. Somkelo cooked us the best meals ever. She has an amazingly cheerful disposition and is such a laugh. Clayton our driver is a real gentleman and was always so helpful. Saw an amazing array of animals and this trip will remain with me for the rest of my life.

I highly recommend the Botswana Highlights Tour with INTREPID because we saw alot in 7 days. We had a very experienced & knowledgeable Tour Guide who managed the border crossings & details of the locations we stayed. We got to see lots of wildlife & that was the goal of our trip. We had a wonderful time!!
