Tansania Rundreisen

First time with intrepid and i enjoyed the diversity of the group and the guides were well informed and willing to share their knowledge. The Killy crew gave me the confidence of knowing that i was in safe hands.

If you’re a solo adventure traveller, the Intrepid trips are always great fun, with a good mix of like minded people from all over the world. Always leaves life long memories & friends

Incredible experience, tour leader Sam was excellent and would definitely recommend this trip.

The climb is tough and should not be under estimated (the final summit push will really test your stamina and resolve). However, the rewards of reaching the summit are more than worth it and will live long in the memory.

Had a great time on the Kilimanjaro climb. A great way to challenge yourself meet new people and enjoy some breathtaking scenery.

Was very impressed with the reputation of Intrepid overseas. Many of those who worked for the company have such a high regard for the working conditions and benefits this company provides for the Guides, cooks, drivers & support staff.

You are in very capable hands with Intrepid: Don’t think about it, do it!

Cycle Tanzania is challenging. The most important thing to prepare for is being fully comfortable with how all 22 gears on a bike work. Practice this on steep inclines, rocky roads, dirt and sand. The trip is extra hard if your not confident with this. I suggest your fit but don’t have to be super fit. You need to be some one who doesn’t mind being dirty for a day or two and having no problem roughing it a bit. This trip is a Adventure in every sense where everyone gets hands on to enjoy all elements of the trip. There is more culture experiences than riding time and plenty of recovery if you don’t do the optional activities Remember that tipping is part of the trip with extra guides.

This trip was absolutely a real life experience that you would not get by vehicle, keep in mind the cycling element was a lot more difficult than I expected and you should be a confident rider in all different mountain biking terrain. I would highly recommend this trip with Justaz and his crew!!

A fantastic experience, the best way to see the country. Guides were top notch!

Climbing Kilimanjaro was a lifetime ambition and it did,nt disappoint incredibly hard, do not under estimate. prepare well certainly recommend Machame route as it gives more time to adjust to height.

Despite it being the toughest thing I’ve ever done, I can’t recommend this trip enough – an incredible experience from beginning to end. Pack LOTS of layers, keep your phone and camera battery in an inside pocket come summit night to stop them from freezing, and be prepared for the adventure of a lifetime.

Bring your own sleeping bag if necessary.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is physically and mentally the hardest thing I’ve ever done. My tip for other travellers is to keep going despite the exhaustion because the view from Uhuru Peak is stunning.

Trust the guide, don’t overestimate yourself, be nice to everyone, specially the people that are helping you to reach the summit. Be nice to the people of your group, you are not travelling alone.

This trip is second to none. The kind of scenery you will get to explore is only possible in this kind of catamaran. The crew, the boat, the activities — I cannot say enough good things. It was a trip of a lifetime to get in touch with nature, a new culture, and learn from some outstanding crew members. Thank you to the boat crew and thank you Intrepid!

A challenging ascent of Adrica’s Highest mountain made easier through the commitment, organisation and caring of the Intrepid team.

Next time after doing more trips with you.

Fun and challenging, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

This was a fantastic trip with an enthusiastic guide and team. Camping in the Serengeti was unforgettable, and the safaris were great. The inclusion of the cycling makes you feel closer to the landscape and local culture, and the included trips give a great insight into the diversity in Tanzania. Thanks Justaz and all

Such a challenging walk but the scenery the crew and the sense of achievement made it all worthwhile.

It’s such a great way to experience the Tanzanian wildlife and local culture up close, and having Justaz on hand with his encyclopaedic knowledge of the area made it all the better! The whole team did an awesome job, it was an unforgettable trip.

This is a definite WOW trip and sailing is the best way to explore the exquisite waters of the Zanzibar archipelago. The trip includes a fabulous itinerary – which takes in incredibly beautiful beaches, the crew are super attentive and competent, the food prepared by David is ridiculously delicious. Just take note, all accommodation is onboard, so you need to adaptable and prepared to share fairly confined spaces with strangers and be comfortable in doing so.

Thanks to Justaz and the team for providing an experience not to be forgotten. The combination of cycling,safari and cultural activities providing a locals insight to Tanzania was unforgettable. Whilst the cycling at times could be tough due to the combination of the altitude, heat and dust, it was extremely rewarding. Experiencing wild animals so close and the Masai in their own environment was not to be missed. Tips: pack carefully, lightly, wet wipes, spare camera batteries. Thank you to my fellow travellers for making it so memorable. Asante sana!

A fabulous sailing trip. Expect a couple,of long sailing days with little activity but time to relax on the boat. Highlights include good food including freshly caught fish on the boat, very few tourists in many places, great snorkelling, options to kayak and paddle board and see fab sunsets while on board. Plus visits to islands and meeting locals…be aware that there will be no shops etc on the trip so stock up,in advance on sun cream, snacks, drinks etc if you need (wine, beer and some soft drinks can be bought on board at a reasonable price). Cabins were more spacious than other cats I have been on and had an en suite although showering at the back of the boat at sunset still the best option! Highly recommended.

I loved the sailing trip because it was very beautiful sailing around untouched islands. The scenery was unreal and it was great being able to get out and about and explore the islands and to chill out on the beaches and do activities such as paddles and nature and village walks. The boat was very comfortable, the food great and the people very friendly and accommodating. As a tip I would suggest making sure that you bring a lot of sunscreen and be sun safe as you will probably be out on the front of the boat and the sun can be quite intense.

Intrepid is a serious and very well organized Travelcompany, you get to see places and things that you woulnt imagine, and even if you go alone you feel yourself like in a family after just a short time, i am very recommanding this travelcompany to those who wants to explore the world from the natural and beautiful side.

Take an extra day on marangu. 5 days is too short unless you are happy being very sick for the 2nd half

Be prepared for some corrugated roads. But it’s worth it.

You need to understand sailing is different to other forms of travel. Boats have special traits. Catching fish should be added to trip notes as part of the experience. Overall it was a great trip, made nicer by the personalities of the skipper, the cook and the two local crew.

The experience was excellent and well looked after by the team. The team made it that little bit more special

1. Capetown to Victoria Falls; 2. Kerala, India; 3. Jakarta to Ubud, Indonesia – I enjoyed them all immensely.

A wonderful way to experience Africa. The combination of cycling and touring was special. Cultural exchanges were unforced and everyone in our group appreciated the animals and nature. We are still in contact and have shared images of the trip. We look forward to returning.

A great combination of outdoors, animals, and exertion! Summitting Kili is a major achievement. Made great friends that I hope to travel with again.

Note that mountain bikes are used for a reason. Note the Fitness rating is 4/5. We are fit but we are over 60. We could have prepared better. But go anyway, it was fantastic and being with younger people is rejuvenating!

This trip combines Serengeti and a rapid ascent of Kilimanjaro in that order, each is very fulfilling but also quite exhausting in different ways and you may want to consider if this is the best order in which to do these activities. Don’t attempt Kili without preparation, for an independent perspective on what to expect on the Marangu route read https://www.mountkilimanjaroguide.com/kilimanjaro-marangu.html and remember that this tour includes only the 5 night option…

This is a very unique experience for anyone looking to get off the beaten path and truly explore the serenity and nature of Zanzibar and the surrounding islands. From spotting whales and dolphins, to catching fresh tuna for dinner, to snorkeling and exploring secluded islands, and visiting a remote village in Pemba, you will have a very memorable and fun experience.

An amazing way to discover East Africa, especially if (like me) you want to see amazing sights like The Serengeti and the Ngorogoro Crater but are too energetic to sit still all day. Biking allowed me to feel a much more authentic connection to both the land and the beautiful people of Tanzania.

Best organised trip have been on. Wildlife amazing. Accommodation very basic but always comfy.Guides extremely knowledgeable & always felt in safe hands. Food great. would definitely recommend this tour and take clothes you can leave behind for recycling. Take snacks & isotonic for rides. Amazing trip-do it!

Cycling Tanzania has been one of the best experiences of my life with memories I will treasure forever. The aspects that contributed to this are the activities included on the trip, the group of like minded people you travel with and the superb tour leader / crew. Do not let the physical rating put you off as on my tour the amount of cycling was tailored to individuals. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants a real cultural experience with a difference.

This trip was amazing and exceeded expectations. The countryside, the Tanzanian people, and seeing the big 5 (and the ugly 5) were all special. The riding was at times challenging, but rewarding. We had ample opportunity to get up close to the Tanzanian people and I would highly recommend this trip to people who like a physical challenge and to learn about other cultures, and of course to experience the wildlife.

The trip was excellent – a seafari. We have seen several wales and dolphines, snorkelling around Mnemba and Mesali was excellent. There are additonal nice activities like kajaking, village visit,.. You will def loose every sense of time and relax, no tourists, just nature. The crew was so nice, very kind and careing. Be prepared to eat a lot of delicous, fresh seafood! 10+ for this trip!

Please feel free to summarise my notes to make a short review for travellers to use.

Where do I begin?! This trip was my first safari tour experience and it far exceeded any expectations I may have had. Our tour guide was excellent in every way. Knowledgeable, respectful, generous with his time, incredibly patient and managed to adjust the daily activities, particularly the cycling schedules, to cater for the wide variety of ages, abilities, experience and fitness in our group of 11. The cycling was challenging but a phenomenal way to experience the local environment, culture and way of life and created a wonderful sense of personal achievement (I’m 65 and only started riding a bike 6 months ago!). The game drives where we saw all of the big 5 and ugly 5, a vast variety of stunning birdlife, close and personal contact with various local cultural groups and seeing and experiencing their way of life, was absolutely brilliant. Will recommend this trip to anyone who is (a bit more than) moderately fit, has a strong sense of adventure and wants to see and experience the ‘real’ Tanzania. Love, love, loved it!

Please refer to initial comments on trip. I’m very happy for you to use them. Also happy to discuss either, any of my comments or suggestions in relation to this trip. +61428577733 Melbourne, Oz. Having designed and over seen construction of racks for high end (6-10k) bikes before, the current design which I spoke to both Karimi & Justaz about is a shocker in not protecting the bikes and is unbelievably slow and cumbersome, this can be significantly improved while protecting the bikes which will reduce time, maintenance & damage.

Please refer to my first comments.

Once in a life time experience. The guides, porters and cooks were very professional, hugely motivating and knowledgeable. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. I would recommend people to bring extra warm gloves and warmers for your hands and feet as the last hike to the top is very very cold.

I think it would helpful to include info on the website regarding preparation for the actual summit night. The worst the temperature can get and all the extra layers needed. their should be info on worst case scenario prep. I would suggest that the guides do not advise people to not take their diamox the evening of the summit. The site could also include info on whats available at each hut. The info on the website appears to be the minimum the travelers need to know but I think it would be helpful to include the maximum info.

The most amazing cycling tour which isn’t just about the cycling. You get a real taste of tanzania, time in the best national parks. The rides vary according to the groups ability. I enjoyed the fact it was not all about the bike. So amazing to be cycling amongst the animals and beautiful countryside! I loved this trip and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys cycling whatever your level

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a 5 star experience! You will be so grateful for the staff and porters therefore beside of you tip you will be happy to donate your clothes to them! If you want to think ahead take a gift with you: Water repellent shoe and clothes protector ( you cant really buy it in Africa). That will help them to maintain their clothes longer in the changing weather.

Really nice trip, description is not completly accurate. Really nice overall experience.

Intrepid is a serious and very well organized Travelcompany, you get to see places and things that you woulnt imagine, and even if you go alone you feel yourself like in a family after just a short time, i am very recommanding this travelcompany to those who wants to explore the world from the natural and beautiful side.

Sailing Zanzibar is an unforgettable experience, the perfect mix between adventure and relaxation. The crew were amazing and catered to our every need, big thanks to Caio, David, Omar and Khamis.

Pre rent or buy every single item listed on the packing list – they are invaluable!

Absolutely fabulous trip. Make sure you take a good book and some cards. BYO your alcohol and snacks if you need them. There are no ATMs outside of stone town so make sure you are prepared.

This trip was everything that I was hoping for, a combination of physical challenge, cultural exposure, and safaris! Trip leaders were knowledgable and supportive. Cycling was a nice way to feel close to the people and country. Definitely recommend!

Have a good camera, you will see animals and it will be surreal.

I just did a small research while on Kilimanjaro, as Intrepid said the success rate to Uhuru makes totally sense, considering even on our team, we made it. keep up the good work Intrepid.

Mt Kilimanjaro was tough, but the memories and friendships made during this amazing trip were worth every bit of hard work. Plus the food was amazing!

A relaxing sailing holiday after a dusty safari. Long sailing/motoring days to enjoy the sea. You may want to have a good book/sudoku.

the duffel bags are not waterproof despite it says so in brochure!!!!!!!!!!!! Items need to be in plastic bags before beeing placed in the duffel bags provided in order to stay dry

We had a fantastic adventure – unexpected and amazing experiences and diverse and spectacular scenery. Take an open mind and remember you’re in Africa. Pack wisely, learn some basic Swahili and be prepared for some challenging rough and dusty roads.

Unforgettable adventure – camping with wild animals outside our tents in the Serengeti, visiting Ngorongoro crater and a once in a lifetime trek to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. One of the best trips I have ever taken – animals, culture and a physical challenge. Tanzania should be a priority on your travel bucket list!

This tour explored the region in depth and the many forms of transport used added to the sense of adventure. As a cycle commuter, I found the off-road cycling terrain challenging at times but you quickly get used to the conditions and the bikes were well equipped. Be prepared for long, dusty days and roughing it! The crew were all excellent and knowledgeable.

I travel a lot. But this was one of the most amazing tours I ever did. We entered on our tour a different untouched world and took care that it will stay this way. We had fun, time for chatting, doing some sport activities, had even the luck to watch wales and dolphins. Perfect trip. Rating 100 out of 100. THANKS AGAIN for the wonderful experience Annette

Amazing trip!

The sailing trip around Zanzibar and surrounding islands was a jewel of a trip . It gives a wonderful opportunity to be close to the natural world, see stunning wildlife and have an insight into local communities .

The trip was simply wonderful, the ability to cycle off road as well the safari aspects meant a trip that will be forever in my memory.

Tanzania is a large country with poor roads. So be prepared for some dusty and bumpy commutes. The mix of cycling and bus rides is a great way to see this country and experience the locals and wildlife up close. And to feel safe at all times.

Exceptional trip. A tough itinary, but lots of variety, good bikes, great guides, and plenty adventure. Really felt like we got off the beaten path, and had good interaction with real locals. Safaris were superb.

Wonderful trip made better by an awesome crew. Loved catching fresh fish and having it for dinner. Local village trip was great. The cabins quite big w ensuite a bonus. The crew are 5 star. Plenty of sailing, a lot on open water take sea sickness pills. But professional friendly caring crew looking after you 24/7. I gonna give a 10/10

The summit walk to Kilimanjaro is one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done, but making it to final sign was worth every step. If you are a bit stubborn, not afraid of a challenge and want experience something bucket list worthy – this trip is for you.

Incredible sailing adventure from Zanzibar to Pemba Island and around! Gorgeous waters, lovely islands, great snorkelling. Ladies – take some modest clothes as you may visit some local villages. Overall, a beautiful break from reality in the remote sea with very capable crew.

An interesting trip, but needs some ironing out with accommodations, food, and excursions. Be warned that this 7 day trip has only 3 days on Pemba. The first and last days are minimal and there are two full days of sailing.
