Africa Tours & Vacations
Surrender to the lure of Africa and its diverse wildlife, thousands of cultures and breathtaking landscapes.
Meaning ‘to travel’ in Arabic and Swahili, the word ‘safari’ can describe many types of epic adventure in Africa. There is the ancient Egypt kind – discovering the lost city of Abu Simbel and the Valley of the Kings. The nomadic one – veering away from Morocco’s souqs and medinas and being hosted by a Berber family in the Sahara. The local village version – cherishing moments with Maasai, San, and Malagasy cultures. The wildlife way – search for the Big Five in any number of game reserves and parks: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Kruger, and Lake Nakuru, to name a few. What does your African adventure look like?

Search for the Big Five
On safari, it’s all about getting as close as you can to the elusive Big Five – the African elephant, black rhino, Cape buffalo, African lion and African leopard. Pack your camera and keep your eyes peeled to the grasslands as you travel in a custom-built Overland vehicle on the trip of a lifetime.
Eat more of Morocco
There’s no better way to get to know a place than to learn about its cuisine! Among the sights, sounds and souqs of Morocco, salivate over street-side snacks at Marrakech’s Djemma el-Fna market, taste a tagine in Tangier and embark on a food-focused experience at a Berber family homestay high in the Atlas Mountains.
Trek the heights of Kilimanjaro
Standing at 5896 m, the world’s tallest freestanding mountain may seem imposing, but it’s certainly not out of reach. Mt Kilimanjaro rises from acacia forests and arid scrublands at the border of Kenya and Tanzania, and trekking to the summit to see the sprawling plains below is definitely worth the long days on the trail.
Meet with Maasai warriors
The wide-open plains of Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve are not only home to herds of wild animals, but also to the welcoming communities of the Maasai people. Join these red-clad warriors to learn about their vibrant customs and culture, witness the famous jumping dances and discover their traditional way of life.
Encounter a gorilla in Rwanda
There are only two populations of mountain gorillas left in the entire world – one of which is in Rwanda. After the effort of trekking into the thick jungle, once you’re near a silverback or can spot a female nursing her baby you’ll know the muddy trek was worth it.
Mokoro down the Okavango
Days spent overlanding on safari are incredible, but what about wildlife spotting from the water? Traverse the channels of Botswana's Okavango Delta by mokoro – a traditional dugout canoe – through the maze of reeds and lagoons, searching for the region’s most unique and unusual creatures and birdlife.

Classic Morocco
gareth · Traveled March 2024
This trip delivered everything it said it would and a lot more. The staff and people were welcoming and professional. Morocco itself is a beautiful country with a rich heritage. I would recommend going during Ramadan. I felt it added to rather than diminish the experience

Deborah · Traveled March 2024
We had a wonderful time during our trip to Morocco expertly led by Omar, our guide who had a wealth of knowledge and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. This trip covers a lot of miles so there are a couple of long driving days but really worth it for all you get to experience. I travelled with my two children aged 19 & 15 and made some fantastic memories and would not hesitate to use Intrepid again. Thank you for such a great trip, can’t wait for the next one !
