can you please let me know the name of the starting hotel? I under that the finishing hotel in Nairobi is Boulevard Hotel at Harry Thuku road. Please confirm this.

Joining point is Never@home (Kloof Street) at 73 Kloof Street, Gardens, Cape Town, 8001, SOUTH AFRICA. Finishing point is Hotel Boulevard, Harry Thuku Road, Westlands, Nairobi, KENYA.

Are all the additional services at an extra cost?

Yes all the activities listed under that section are at an extra cost.

Is it possible to see gorillas in the africa encomposed northbound tour?

Gorilla permits included! Seek out the rare mountain gorilla on a trek through Uganda's steamy forests and spend an unforgettable hour in their presence.

how many people of my age are usually on such tours? i assume that one can do washing en route?

our groups are a completely mixed bag and on a trip like this you can expect to have people joining in their 20's-70's. As it is a combo tour (aka. made up of shorter tours), you can expect the group to also change throughout. Right now, I have people booked on all sectors with ages ranging from 30's to 60's. Solo travellers and pairs. The group might change/fill up in the coming weeks but that's a bit of a snapshot. Washing is definitely possible along the way and the Tour Leader will be there to help you and advise when it's available so you can 'budget' accordingly.

This tour was amazing! The itinerary was well thought-out and didn't leave anything to chance, or miss anything I wanted to see. It felt very comprehensive, though, of course, there's always more to see wherever you go. I was impressed with Intrepid's concern about safety on activities (they risk assess all activities that are recommended by their guides) and ethics, both re: animal welfare and cultural safety. I was expecting the food to be very basic and not particularly exciting but I was wrong. This tour includes a cook, and your "participation" in cooking basically just includes shopping food up - the cook plans your meals and actually cooks them. Which makes for a more relaxing time. Not only that but the food was amazing. Curries, pasta with excellent sauces, lamb chops - you name it, we had it. And they catered well for vegetarians as well. In particular though, the team really made this trip worthwhile. I particularly want to that Chris, Peter, and David (CT to Nairobi section) for making things feel so comfortable, and making sure everyone felt safe during the trip. I also really appreciated Chris's knowledge of the areas we traveled through, which he shared around campfires at night. Overall, I highly recommend this tour as a very comprehensive 'introduction' to Southern and Eastern Africa. I would absolutely travel with Intrepid again given the high quality of service. Show more
