    The trip was well organised and the guides were brilliant. The tour was also well represented by the description on the website. We didn't give it a 5 because there was a lot of driving and the accommodation on one of the nightsdid not match the style of accommodation described on the itinerary. The itinerary could be improved if you could fly into the delta on the end of the scenic flight (one way flight). The day driving from Maun to the delta was really really long and on very uncomfortable roads. Our driver did an amazing job on that drive but the trip would have been far more enjoyable if we could fly in to the delta!

    Although the guides and overall “highlights” of Botswana were wonderful, itinerary changes required due to weather/water conditions in the Okavango Delta were not properly managed by Intrepid. Our driver struggled with an inappropriate vehicle for hundreds of additional kilometers of driving on very poor roads to reach our alternative (stellar) destination at Jumbo Junction. Further disruptions were created by ferry failures — clearly out of Intrepid’s control. In retrospect, it seems that our small group could have been better transported either with a proper 4-wheel vehicle suitable to the roads OR by boat.

    The locations were great, the accommodations were fantastic, particularly Jumbo Junction. Our guide Philip was knowledgeable, helpful and good to have around, and our driver Ernest was reliable, managed to get us out of a few awkward moments and great fun. Both Philip and Ernest made it a holiday to remember. Oh …… and the elephants, so many elephants.

    You need to either cancel giving this tour or give it a serious re-think. The tour was expensive and we did not get any value at all. It was a drive only. The tour included nothing. I felt ripped off.
