What travelers are saying

"I went on the Intrepid 15 day "Best of Morocco" tour in 2025 and had such an amazing time that I wasn't ready to leave by the time the trip finished! It exceeded my expectations in so many ways: value for money, itinerary, a lot of included activities balanced with lots of rest stops on longer travel days, very caring & attentive local guides, and lots of optional activities. As a company, Intrepid was very easy to communicate with before the trip started (I had sent a few questions about optional activities). The website is also easy to navigate and simple for updating travel & health information. If you are considering doing a tour with Intrepid - make sure you read the Essential Trip Information they have on each tour page. It describes everything in detail so you'll know what to expect. While I LOVED my tour, I can see some people signing up for this without reading the description and then being surprised at some of the 2 star hotels (in this case it was the "Original" tour style). Overall, I am impressed at how this tour managed to simultaneously get us closer to Moroccan culture AND feel like an adventure AND feel like a vacation from day-to-day life back home. I would travel with Intrepid again."

Highlights

  • Cape Route 62: Along South Africa's famous country road you'll capture the beauty of high mountains, twisting passes, rugged Karoo plains, vineyards and orchards.
  • Big 5 Game Drive: Spot Africa’s Big 5 from the safety of a 4x4 vehicle in their natural habitat on a malaria-free game reserve. Led by an experienced game ranger you’ll search for lion, white rhino, buffalo, elephant, kudu, zebra, wildebeest and giraffe - just to name a few. Leopards are rarely seen.
  • Cango Wildlife Ranch: Tour this multi-accredited conservation facility with over 90 species, including some of the world's most endangered animals. Get the opportunity to meet some animals in an optional close encounter. The perfect photo opportunity to get close and stroke a hand-reared cheetah or even dive with crocs.
  • Wilderness Canoe: Evergreen temperate forests merge with rocky beaches to touch the warm Indian Ocean. Lagoons and strings of shining lakes beg to be explored. Canoe on streams in the Wilderness National Park and watch the bird life while you glide over the water on your encounter with Mother Nature; or follow the shady footpaths that wind through a wonderland of giant trees into the forest
  • Myoli Beach: This stretch of white beach starts at the Sedgefield Lagoon mouth - an unspoiled paradise with the Indian Ocean’s warmer waters. Nothing happens quickly in this ‘Slow Town’ - a small town community focused on celebrating local arts & crafts and a natural way of life. Situated between Knysna and Wilderness - this beautiful seaside village is surrounded entirely by lakes, fynbos covered dunes and forests

Walk along forest trails to a suspension bridge and find a quiet spot from where to absorb the living splendour. Look out for inquisitive vervet monkeys & array of bird life in dense vegetation.
  • Addo Bus Safari: Explore the third-largest national park in South Africa - a world of diversity; varied landscapes of fauna and flora - in our guided tour bus. The lush vegetation provides protection and food to support the most dense population of wild elephants on the planet. Home to over 500 elephants and also lions, buffalo, black rhino, spotted hyena, leopard, a variety of antelope and in the marine section, great white sharks and southern right whales, which means that Addo is one of the few reserves in the world that can boast having the Big 7.
