The trip through Africa was just amazing and there were plenty if Moments I wuold never forget.
It was one of the most incredible Journeys of my life.
I found Serengeti and Goeongo just breathtaking.
Sourh Luangwa in Sambia was one of the one alife experiences, that would allwas be in my memories, spezially as we had a double spectacle: the night Safari, where we plenty of wildlife spoted and the beatiful and very impressive blood Mond during the Safari. Really cool!
Chobe was unbeliveble. So many Elefants, Buffalos u.s.w. in one Spot was just magical.
The Okabango and sleeping in the wildness was also great. We made a safari in Bulawayo, where we even got the Rhinos very close by foot. That was scaring and at the same time incredible.
One of the unforgetable moments was in Spitzkopf. We slept on the rock Hill wirhout a tent and gaze the whole night at the stars in the Sky. I was so happy and so excited, thatI couldn't close my eyes at all.
It was an one-in-life experience, which I am glad I did.
Thanks for organizing this for me and for your patience and Help!

Hi Huntley
Thanks for your message.
The trip was fantastic and I enjoyed every moment of it. I got to meet interesting and fun people. We experienced amazing days out in the bush and saw so many animals.
Even though I've travelled to Africa many times before, I have never seen this many animals on bush walks. Also the amount of animals we have seen in Chobe was breathtaking! Never have I seen so many elephants on one game drive.
Our tour crew was great and they went the extra mile to ensure a fantastic trip for us. BRAVO!
Literally every day was a highlight and I will never forget this trip.
Thank you again for the amazing support!
I'll get back to you for sure, when I get the chance to travel to Africa again.
Best regards,
Janine

I enjoyed my tour through Africa very much. Intrepid is a good organisation. I saw more than I expected and after a while I enjoyed that thinking was not necessary, every day came as a surprise. I never good do this on my own this way. Good organised, good food, good information, good places to camp, etc. Everything was so impressive and went so fast that I needed to have a holiday to travel more after this trip. That is the reason and because in a way I was needed here I decided to go home. Have my holiday, spring is beautiful here, at home an be a real granny.
For sure I am going to travel more. Intrepid wil be a good possibility to do it.
Thanks for all your help, suggestions and enthusiasm.
Hope to meet you once or talk to you again.
