Is the accommodation on sharing basis or single occupancy? What vaccinations are needed and how strenuous will the tour be? I have some issues with high impact activities, though walking and low impact hiking on flattish ground are ok

The price listed is for shared accommodation. If you prefer a private room, you can request one starting at €1,050 for this trip. Many countries require a valid international Yellow Fever vaccination certificate. Please consult your doctor for current travel health advice and any required vaccinations before your departure. A moderate level of fitness is recommended for this trip. While the step up into the overland truck is not too high, it can be repetitive. You should feel comfortable enough to climb in and out of the truck at least 8-10 times a day.

do any of them visit the meekats at the Makgadikgadi pans?

You can visit the meekats at the Makgadikgadi pans on the 07th Day of the tour, which is already included in the itinerary.

I would like an offer for a safari in the requested period.

We have some great safari options! However as we use all local guides and leaders they will general speak their native language as well as English.

Can one person come on this trip or does it need to be a minimum.

Solo travellers are welcome on our tours. The group size for this tour is Min 1, Max 13. A single supplement is available From an extra $1,310 if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip.

Do you offer anything related to a dietary and medical requirement such as coeliac disease - gluten free?

We always ask for dietary and medical needs when you book on our tours, and we should be able to help arrange and facilitate meals to fit your needs. However, I have reached out to our Operations team for further advice, to make absolutely certain one way or the other!

This 10-day trip through Botswana was better than expected. To see such a large group of hippos in the water and to have lions walk by casually were much more than I'd seen in Kruger Park.

This 10-day trip through Botswana was better than expected. Now have lots more photographs of animals in the wild than I'd expected to get. To see such a large group of hippos in the water and to have lions walk by casually were much more than I'd seen in Kruger Park. Some of the travel by road was taking a lot of time and accommodation on the houseboat was a bit cramped. But in the end that was part of the fun as a way of meeting up with others who felt the same way.Show more

I loved this trip to Southern Africa and went especially for the wildlife. I was not disappointed and am planning another trip already. We were lucky with our small group of six and had plenty of room in our truck. There were long drives of six to eight hours to get to the next town but we were prepared for this. Food & accommodation were good and the crew were good. The driver was abit mean & rude and butted in where he wasnt welcome. That was the only negative on my Adventure in Africa.Show more

Because Innocent the leader and Goodman the driver were excellent but Intrepid administration could be better. Changes to the itinerary that Intrepid's decision, not the leader's or driver's, were not notified by email to me (my travel agent was also on holiday). Entry Fee to Victoria Falls should have been included, as should the dinner at Maun. Innocent only found out because he rang the office. As we were trying to budget and manage our money, this was awkward for Innocent because we were frustrated. You have the email addresses of participants, they should all be ccd emails sent to travel agents.Show more
