Wildlife family holidays | Intrepid Travel ZA

Are you a family of animal lovers? Then our range of nature-filled family trips are just the ticket. Travelling in a small group allows you to get close enough to the action, but not so close you disturb these incredible creatures in their habitats. Picture a lion tucking into breakfast in Kruger National Park, dolphins playing in the ocean surrounding the Galapagos Islands or tigers prowling through India’s Ranthambore National Park. Share all these memories and more on our wildlife holidays.

A taste of what's in store...

Each of our wildlife family holidays has been built with a perfect balance of action-packed activities and flexible family time. Want to know the sorts of adventures you can expect with us? Here’s a handful of our favourites.

Support local conservation at the Khama Rhino Park

On the edge of the Kalahari Desert, this former hunting area is now a conservation project. It’s also the only place in Botswana where you and your teens will see black and white rhinos living together, alongside a wealth of other fascinating fauna.

Go wild with Intrepid’s Botswana Family Safari with Teenagers.

Fall in love with colourful Costa Rica

If your family’s in the market for something slightly more tropical, the lush green rainforests of this Central American favourite are a must. Spot everything from red-eyed tree frogs and beautifully bright butterflies, to creepy bugs and sleepy sloths.

Get closer to nature with Intrepid’s Costa Rica Family Holiday.

Encounter gentle giants in Udawalawe National Park

Is seeing an elephant your child’s dream? Let Sri Lanka make it a reality! Spend the day at Udawalawe National Park with its stunning array of animal and birdlife, as well as more herds of wild elephants than anywhere else on this teardrop-shaped island.

Walk on the wild side with Intrepid’s Sri Lanka Family Holiday.

Swim with sea turtles off San Cristobal

Even if your young ones have never snorkelled before, there’s no better place to give it a try than the Galapagos Islands. Jump into the water at La Loberia and enjoy bobbing around together, next to graceful sea turtles and friendly sea lions.

Splash about with Intrepid’s Galapagos Family Holiday.

Sri Lanka Family Holiday, March 2018

shirley harrod

Our trip to Sri Lanka exceeded expectations, Fabulous country, everyone friendly and delicious food. Intrepid took the hassle out of organising and provided a well balanced, informative experience. We had the pleasure of sharing this with a number of families and again that provided a great social group from the get go. The children of mixed ages all drew the group together. Fantastic all round.

India Family Holiday , March 2018

Sinead McCarthy

Excellent trip taken by a family of four with two young teenagers. Whilst the itinerary was ambitious and some days were very long, we felt we experienced and learned so much. Intrepid and our leader were top notch which gave us great peace of mind. Highly recommended but it helps to know what to expect so that you go with the right attitude.
