Serengeti Trail
Emma · Traveled May 2023
An overall amazing trip. It’s basic so don’t expect the ritz but totally wonderful. Camping in the Serengeti is something I will never forget.

Nairobi to Stone Town

Overall, this was a great trip with a good itinerary and great team. Some observations for potential participants:
Pros:
-The Serengeti portion was fantastic - great animal sightings and our local guide/driver Very was excellent.
-Zanzibar is a very cool mix of old world cultures and pristine beaches, which was really unique.
-Had a nice group size and mix of welcoming and kind people from various countries.
-Caroline and the Intrepid team were kind, accessible, and made me feel confident, safe and looked after throughout the trip.
Cons:
-You rarely stay in any place for more than one night, and the constant unpacking and repacking can get old after a while.
-The early starts really are early - you're expected to be up and helping with washing at breakfast between 5am-6am most days.
-Very little downtime. For some, this may be a pro, but this certainly wasn't a trip to catch up on reading, sleep, laundry, or general relaxation.
-Effectively 3 of the 11 days are full travel days on a bus, so that's a big chunk of time.
Most of these "cons" came down to itinerary design and in Intrepid's defense they are spelled out clearly in the essential info, but they're worth highlighting again.
In summary, if you're looking for a bit more comfort than roughing it through campgrounds and spending days in a bus, I'd suggest looking at other options. However, if you're looking for an affordable way to experience an African safari and Tanzanian culture, this is a great option!

Kilimanjaro: Marangu Route
Michelle · Traveled March 2023
I had the most amazing climb up Kilimanjaro and I will never forget the experience I had all thanks to the incredible guides, porters and cooks.
Angela is an amazing leader and I felt comfortable and safe knowing she was always looking out for us. She is so kind and caring it was like having my Mum on the trip with me which I am so grateful for!
I felt very confident with the health checks each evening and receiving guidance and reminders on how important it is to eat, drink and rest.
Angela, Rocky and Vendy were all so friendly and offered so much advice, support and encouragement. I really felt like they cared about us all and did everything they could to help make the trip as enjoyable as possible. I don’t think I would have got the the top without the help and guidance from them all!
The food was delicious and kept us fueled throughout the trip. Thanks to Richard for waking us up each morning with a smile and a ‘bed tea’ and ‘washy washy!’
I am so grateful for everyone involved in the trip and will recommend to anyone.
Thanks! Xx
