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.

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.

Morocco Encompassed

Betty · Traveled April 2024

We took Morocco Encompassed tour in April with Intrepid Travels. Although it can be a challenging time to visit a Muslim county suiting Ramadan and Eid , the trip was managed incredibly well, without any glitches. Intrepid is an incredible company to travel with with small groups. They provide perfect service for you to get to know the culture of the country, they give you enough guidance and knowledge yet you have enough time to explore on your own. We really appreciate the meal arrangements with the private local people which gave us insights of the culture . Perfect balanced trip with a great group leader Aziz. Thank you Intrepid for a wonderful and memorable experience.
