The Animal Lover

You’re an animal-loving adventurer at heart.

As an open-minded traveller who’d rather spend hours searching for an elusive gorilla in the wild than partying in a foreign nightclub, you like to keep things simple. You'd prefer to be camping than in a luxury hotel and are the first to look on the positive side when things don’t go in your favour. You’ll do anything to get closer to animals, making sure they’re kept in the wild where possible. Whether it is exploring a jungle in Costa Rica or heading off on a safari in India, Intrepid’s new 2020 Wildlife trips are the perfect adventures for you.

Why choose Intrepid

Real life experiences

We love the highlights, but the real magic for us happens well away from a beaten path. It’s the little noodle bars, hidden galleries and backstreet bodegas you won’t find in a search engine.

Small groups

Our groups are made up of 10 travellers on average. That’s big enough to create a good vibe, but small enough to explore a destination independently. And if you’re travelling solo, it’s the perfect number of new friends.

Local leaders

Who better to show you around than a local? Unlike other tour companies who travel with imported Western guides, our leaders are connected with the area you’re travelling in.

Hassle free

We’ve put 30 years of research into our itineraries, operators and accommodation so you can focus on fun. Why spend hours agonising over details when you can leave it to someone who lives and breathes travel?

Adventures for all

Age, pillow preference, budget, travelling solo or together – it doesn’t matter where you’re from, what matters is where you’d like to go. Our mission is to deliver the best travel experiences to anyone who’s up for them.

Sustainable travel

We strive to use travel as a force for good. That’s why we choose to give back to the communities we visit, carbon offset all our trips and take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously.
