We choose organised tours to get a little history and guidance on the areas we are travelling, so we do like a good guide.

The trip was well organized and the trip notes great. The guide was completely disinterested in the trip and in the group. He did not have basic knowledge on the area, animals or local politics. We have things stolen (which is part of travel) however this was poorly dealt with.

If you do Botswana Highlights, just bring enough USD and also a few South African Rand (for that day and night in Namibia). A great trip for people who like a real adventure whitout camping in tents :-)

Excellent adventure. Flying over the Okovango Delta and visiting Chobe National Park were highlights. Our driver Gordon and guide Trymore were terrific! Staying in Elephant Sands was a once in a lifetime experience.

Trip was far better than we expected, all the tours, accommodation, but the main asset to your company is the staff, the guide "Gift"and the driver " Cosmas"really made the trip experience great.

Transport vehicle was not the best. Great locations, basic lodges were far more than basic, had amazing experiences in tree houses, tented camps over Okavango delta and around elephant sands watering hole. Friendly staff that 100% added to and got involved with the experience

The Botswana Highlights trip involves a lot of driving, but the experience is outstanding! The wildlife, scenery and local people make this trip very special and you will want to return to Africa after this short taster. Vietnam, Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh is the trip of a lifetime with the perfect balance of culture, wow-factor and fantastic food!

Fantastic first family safari holiday and gained a real insight into life in Botswana and Namibia. The road journeys were never dull with lots of animals and birds en route. Great guide, mixed age group. Too many highlights to list.

Great if you have limited time and want to pack as much in as possible, but the fast-paced itinerary means days are filled with driving and activities without much time to sit back and relax. Shoutout to Danny, who was a wonderful guide.

This was a well organized tour with useful information and smooth border crossings between countries. There is a lot of time spent in the van travelling between destinations so keep this in mind when selecting what type of trip suits you.

The Botswana trip takes you to some great places and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Having Elephants playing 10 meters from where you eat dinner, Hippos grunting throughout the night in the Okavango and Caprivi strip, and Lions strolling beside the open game drive vehicles were unforgettable experiences. However, be aware that most of the activities are optional extras, and there are sometimes more options than listed in the trip notes. It does pay to ask at the accommodation what activities they have when you arrive.

We really enjoyed our 9 day trip to Botswana. Gibson our guide provided an excellent commentary during the trip and was eager to help us if we had any concerns or needed help with anything. Intrepid Tours also made us more aware of our responsibilities to protect the (global) environment we live in. Most of all we enjoyed getting up real close with the wild animals. The overall experience was better than we had imagined.

Botswana Highlights trip represented great value. Well organized, well guided, nice variety of activities, not expensive for the quality. If you want pure safari, this may not be the trip for you. Lots of driving as well. Otherwise, a great intro to Botswana.
