your description does not say anything of the optional balloon ride in serengeti. it says to look at day 7 info but it is not there. please tell me a bit about it. also, please can you tell me names of camps/lodges we would be staying at, so i can look them up? other tours provide names of accomodations, so would like to be able to compare. on lake victoria, what town are we staying in? that is not mentioned either.

Day 6 Optional activity: Serengeti National Park - Balloon Ride. There is another optional balloon ride this morning, offered as a pre-booked service, which will guarantee you a place. If you would rather wait and try to get a better price by booking this locally on the ground, you are welcome to – but keep in mind that this is a popular activity and places are limited.

I am trying to coordinate 2 trips with Intrepid. The fist trip is to Cape town, Africa for 5days starting on June 27-July 1 and the second trip is East Africa for 13 days (July 1-13). How can I make reservation that everything is smooth.

When booking through TourRadar there is no option to have multiple trips on 1 booking so you would need to make 2 separate reservations. However, once this is done we can make the internal notes on our end so that our team is aware that you will be doing these 2 trips back to back.

Are bathroom facilities available during camping?

Campsites are equipped with basic bathroom facilities to meet essential hygiene needs during the stay.

Can specific dietary requirements be accommodated?

Yes, please inform us of any dietary restrictions at the time of booking to ensure appropriate meals are provided.

What are the visa requirements for travel?

Visa requirements vary by nationality. It is recommended to check the latest requirements from official resources or consult with our travel experts.

will we be able to see the great migration of the wildebeest? That is kind of on my bucketlist as well as seeing Mount Kilimanjaro and seeing the Big 5 in Serengeti and Maasai Mara as well as visiting beautiful Zanzibar.

We are excited to start the planning phase with you and are happy to answer any questions. If you are keen on seeing the Great Migration in the Serengeti this would be a good trip to do so. However, you will need to travel during July - October when the Wildebeest are doing their migration however it is not something that we can guarantee.

What activities are planned for the safari?

Fabulous - No safari can guarantee that you will see everything you want to but very happy with what I did see. Photos shown were taken with either a low spec phone or a pocket camera – those with better phones or better spec cameras have far superior pictures Group leader ‘Lucky Steve’ was excellent as were the drivers. During a trip briefing a few years ago, a guide said ‘if you want home, stay at home’….many of the roads were bumpy. Services such as hot showers are not guaranteed. Wi-Fi was available albeit sometimes only in reception and restaurant areas and could be patchy. Food was a bit samey. Some variance to the trip notes. Accommodation was generally acceptable and one lodge was more like glamping. Caution regards money – many places / accommodations didn’t accept credit cards for additional expenses. Also, the Tanzanian government are trying to stop payments in US dollars (doesn’t apply inside Serengeti National Park) although this was being flouted. The optional elephant caves trip – whilst the trip notes provided a price in $, payment needed to be in cash (Tanzanian Schilling). In Zanzibar, credit cards were accepted and many prices in $. Zanzibar - optional walking tour in Stone Town was good and very informative; the guide (‘Ali’), clearly-spoken and funny (when he put on a cockney accent). The optional ‘spices’ tour was also good. Accommodation much higher standard.Show more
