Chobe River Tour & Trip Reviews

Travelling alone I was nervous about the trip but I had nothing to worry about and had the best time. Evans as guide and Ernest as our driver could not have been nicer. The food was delicious and I met some amazing people. I couldn't recommend highly enough!

This trip was amazing. It's an experience I will remember forever. Our tour guide, Jay was outstanding and he made every second of the trip better with his great personality. Jay and Cassandra were so knowledgeable about the destination we were in and I would do this trip again in a heartbeat. Also, I can't forget to mention the amazing friends we made along the way. Do this trip!!

This trip was one of a life time! I was a solo traveller and being apart of this group that quickly turned to family helped me grow and of course showed me parts of Africa I wouldn't of seen. Everything from food to organization was spot on and I enjoyed camping overall highly recommend

This trip was everything and nothing short of incredible. KB and Aaron were the best guides imaginable and set us up for an amazing trip of animal spotting, enjoy the nature of Africa and making great friends with our group. Have never experienced anything like it and can't wait for the next one!

There is no question, this trip was incredible! If you’re lucky enough to be paired with the “dream team” Rene and Cosmos you will not be disappointed! Amazing locations, food, activities and ample information about the animals and their surroundings with fires morning/ night. Thank you for an authentic and genuine experience!

We did this trip, Explore Southern Africa, from Aug 9 - 26 this year and we thought it was probably our most memorable trip ever. The variety of wildlife (we saw the big 5 plus giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos, hyenas, wildebeests, impalas, baboons, ...) and our proximity to them that we experienced was unparalleled. The scenery was like nothing we had ever experienced before (our first time anywhere in Africa). Although it was winter time there when we went and many areas were looking very dry it was an experience not to be missed. Additionally we were made to feel welcome everywhere that we went. The highlights of the trip for us would be the two days to the Okavango Delta, the optional game drive through Chobe National Park and day 13 with our guide tracking rhinos in Matabos and going to the African village. Our tour leader, cook and drivers were excellent as were our co-travellers. The meals that were prepared for us tasted great, were well balanced and no one ever left hungry. The 2 person tent accommodations weren't the most luxurious but they allowed one to stay right in the "middle of the action" with the animals in close proximity to our overnight homes. This being the case, we never felt unsafe in our tents at any point. The overlander vehicle didn't have air conditioning, as is standard, however if you made sure to open windows for air circulation during the drive the heat wasn't so bad. If one is prepared to put up with these few inconveniences and willing to help out with camp set up, vehicle clean up, and meal clean up afterwards (this is a participatory type of trip where certain tasks are required of the travellers) it is an experience not to be missed. It all makes one more appreciative of the luxuries that we have at home that many do not have in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Botswana Adventure, August 2019. Loved: the trip, adventure, guide Tshepo, driver Moses. So informative, great culture immersion, great game viewing, fun accommodations, house boat to rondovals to san community to comfortable hotels .Yummy and different foods and plenty of it. Enjoyed the variety of the entire trip, felt safe and comfortable at all times. Above all else FUN TIME with guide, driver, fellow travelers and all the local peoples we met.

This was an amazing three week journey across a beautiful part of Southern Africa. An excellent itinerary with lots of included activities. Lots of wildlife, scenery and some long and dusty bus rides, thankyou for a great trip.

Our Botswana adventure was the best guided tour we have taken. It was our first with Intrepid and were impressed by the effort taken by our leader and driver to make our African experience extraordinary. We appreciated efforts to be socially and environmentally responsible and not being pressured to spend on extras

This was my first group trip and my first time to Africa, and it was an absolutely life-changing experience. Everyone in the group was so great, and we were all open to new experiences and seeing new things. It was so refreshing to be on an adventure with like-minded people. Our leaders were fantastic and I learned so much from them, in addition to all the wonderful local guides. Sitting around the campfire every night, sleeping under the stars, taking sunset cruises, and elephant spotting in the truck are memories I will cherish forever. Don't hesitate to book this trip- it will change your life!

Absolutely most authentic trip,very well informed,always very prompt ,great communication,safety the utmost importance on this Safari,excellent Safari tour guides. Unless you do this trip you absolutely miss real African Safari,Absolutely highly recommend!

If you are considering doing a Safari trip but you are travelling alone and have some safety concerns, then look no further. This is the trip for you. This was an unbelievable opportunity to explore a small part of southern Africa in comfort and style. I made like-minded friends, I ate and drank way to much (disclaimer: you will not lose weight on this trip). And I saw and did the most amazing things that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Do it! I guarantee that you will have no regrets.

This trip was awesome. It was the first I’ve done, and I will definitely be doing more. Traveling with other people my age and with my interests really made it easy as a solo traveler to have a lot of fun and enjoy such a unique place.

The overall trip was satisfactory, at times excellent. We had no significant rain. On three nights there was however, some iight drizzle for a short time. The tent walls have inward sloping screens on their four sides. ANY precipitation is first detected when it drips down on occupants and gear. Then one rushes out, in the precip, to roll down exterior covers over the screens. In a sudden tropical downpour gear and occupants would be seriously wet before that could be accomplished. Nor could tents be successsfuly erected nor struck in a rain situation, Plus they are heavy canvas, maybe 30 pounds and awkward to erect. They have no fly to reflect the sun or re-direct rain. If you think this wouldn't be a problem, make your reservation. We couldn't recommend this o anyone except in the middle of the dry season.
