What travelers are saying

"A really excellent trip. Interesting and varied itinerary with many highlights, although Hoi An, including the cookery class, and the Hạ Long Bay cruise are worthy of special mention. We - myself, my wife, our daughter and her partner - were expecting a group of up to 16.......it was just the 4 of us, so a private tour and our tour guide - Long - was just absolutely brilliant, not only with the daytime excursions, but recommending to us/taking us to/joining us at so many really good restaurants, introducing us to many culinary local pleasures. Thank you so much, Long!"

Visits

Arusha, Nairobi, Ngorongoro Crater, Rift Valley, Serengeti National Park

Highlights

  • Get the best view of Tanzania’s landscapes from two-wheels – cycle in the shadow of Mount Meru in Arusha and ride alongside wildebeest in Lake Manyara.
  • Refuel for the ride with a cup of Tanzanian coffee. Roast, grind and taste your own in the village of Tengeru and get a closer look at local farm life.
  • Cycle where tourists rarely go, across the remote, barely charted plains of Lengai in the realm of vast grasslands and misty volcanic peaks.
  • The Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater are two of Africa’s very best wildlife arenas. Fall asleep to the sounds of the African night and take a safari in search of the rare black rhino.
  • Stretch your legs on an optional hike to the volcanic peak of Ol Doinyo Lengai, a challenging trek that will reward you with superb sunrise views.

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"We booked a National Geographic expedition Holland and Belgium by River. The promotional literature promised a 14-day deposit refund window. The “invoice” was marked “non-refundable” deposit. We completed the National Geographic Traveler Information. About 8 days later we received the “Travel Agreement” to be signed. We both approved and signed the National Geographic documents. A Cruise Line Travel agreement was enclosed but had no signature line. This document contained language which was unacceptable. We submitted the signed NatGeo documents. The following day we canceled the trip due to the unacceptable Cruise Line language. Cancellation was made 12 days after booking and no deposit was returned. We were told on the phone that the refund deadline was triggered by the 14 day window OR signatures on the Travel Agreement which ever came first. This was NEW information. To date, we have received NO refund of our $1000. We cancelled our trip within the advertised 14 day window."

Ngorongoro Crater Tour Selection Trips

  • For Ngorongoro, a customized four-wheel, open-topped Land Cruiser and an experienced guide are musts.
  • When choosing a tour operator, consider the lodging offered. Several lodges on the rim are quite luxurious, with fine locations and sweeping views, while farther from the crater there are tented camps and reconverted farms with cottages that convey a sense of history, both colonial and tribal.
  • Look for itineraries that include Olduvai Gorge, a bumpy 90-minute drive from Ngorongoro Crater. It’s the preeminent paleo-anthropological site in this end of the Great Rift Valley -- where Louis and Mary Leakey’s discovery of hominid bones, fossils and tools put East Africa on the map as the Cradle of Mankind, dating back 3.75 million years.
  • High season begins in January and runs through September, but it is interrupted by long periods in March, April and May when the rainy season makes the roads even more frightful.
