The Lion King-like landscapes that harbour a cast of giant creatures, from wizened bamboo-chewing gorillas to towers of giddy giraffes gambolling home after one too many drinks at the watering hole. But the true lure of this blockbuster continent lies in the small things. Tiny tracks tracing along a mysterious trail. Knickerbocker-glory-esque termite mounds hiding a million busy creatures. The subtle smell of wild sage in the air on safari drives. So yes, of course, Intrepid\u2019s new adventures for 2026 go big. But it\u2019s the small things that\u2019ll stay with you long after the backpack gets home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div

Fall hard for offbeat Sierra Leone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In rom-com terms, Sierra Leone is the quirky best friend. Offbeat, but all the more intriguing for it. On the new <a href=\"\/sierra-leone\/sierra-leone-adventure-history-culture-nature-167519\">Sierra Leone Adventure<\/a>, you\u2019ll travel by boat along the Moa River to UNESCO-crowned Tiwai Island to discover a conservation stronghold cut off from the mainland where cute-as-kittens pygmy hippos roam. You\u2019ll also visit the village of Boma to meet trailblazing fourth-generation female chief, Kadie, who comes from a long line of matriarchs, and have your affections further swayed with beach time on the Banana Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. May the force be with you in Tunisia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creative souls in search of new skills will find themselves spoilt for choice on the new nine-day <a href=\"\/tunisia\/premium-tunisia-166325\">Premium Tunisia<\/a> trip. First, there\u2019s a calligraphy class with a master in his Tunis studio. Then there\u2019ll be a makroudh pastry-making demo in the inland desert city of Kairouan and a spot of date harvesting in the tree-plotted oasis of Tozeur. But the real clincher comes with a family lunch in a traditional troglodyte home in Matmata \u2013 famous for being the filming location of Luke Skywalker\u2019s crib in Star Wars \u2013 where (in our imaginations at least) you\u2019ll spend much time perfecting your lightsaber moves amid the village\u2019s otherworldly streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more: <a

Sleep will no doubt come easily after a day spent meeting a resident meerkat colony before a guide-cooked BBQ dinner amid the crystalline surface of one of the world\u2019s largest salt flats. Basket-weaving and boat cruises in the Okavango Delta promise to further up the ante for all future family holidays. You&#8217;ve been warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

So why not add a novel spin to asking them to pick up their dirty socks <em>for the 15th time<\/em>? On this ten-day adventure which visits both Tanzania and Kenya, they\u2019ll also meet Maasai warriors for a lesson in generational respect as well as tick off some of Africa\u2019s all-star

Hike to new heights in Morocco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fan of hiking, but don\u2019t want to compromise on creature comforts? Intrepid\u2019s new Premium trekking trips take you to wild places, but throw in a few luxuries too. Such as the <a href=\"\/morocco\/premium-hiking-and-trekking-morocco-167650\">Premium Hiking and Trekking in Morocco<\/a> adventure, where off-grid days spent assailing the Atlas peaks and meeting Amazigh locals in small mountain villages, are bookended with two nights at the Riad La Cle D\u2019or \u2013 an atmospheric courtyard-hugging stay in the heart of Marrakech&#8217;s medina, with a spa, hammam, pool and rooftop breakfast terrace. (Your adventure friends need never know).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Go ape in Uganda\u2019s great wildernesses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to share nine days in Africa with a like-minded age group, then the new 18 to 35s <a href=\"\/uganda\/essential-uganda-and-gorilla-trek-166292\">Essential Uganda and Gorilla Trek<\/a> is calling to you through the canopy. You\u2019ll trek to meet chimpanzees in Kibale Forest National Park and stay in riverside tents in Jinja, where there\u2019s a chance to go white-water rafting down the Nile. But it\u2019s your time in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, hiking through rugged mountain terrain to meet rare gorillas, that\u2019ll leave you bonded with your new travel troop for life. Spy silverbacks asserting their dominance, mothers grooming their young and juveniles feasting on bamboo-based picnics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more: <a

Once you\u2019ve given yourself a stern pep talk, you\u2019ll disembark into the oldest and largest national park in Kenya, to plant trees at the Taita Hills Sanctuary and go stargazing by night. A sunrise safari by hot-air balloon in Amboseli marks another high point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

As well as safari time in Chobe National Park, Khama Rhino Sanctuary and the Okavango Delta, this trip now includes time in Gweta in the Makgadikgadi salt pans.
