COMBINE TOUR

If you'd like to do this tour and the Kenya & Tanzania Tour that proceeds it:

I looked at packaging the two tours together, as a combo option similar to Patagonia + Antarctica this year
It worked out a lot cheaper to keep the two tours separate and have people book their own transport and accommodation between the two trips
Myself and Intrepid can help you arrange this if needs be, plus we will have a Whatsapp group set up as soon as people have booked on the tour, so people can exchange ideas and plans

The Kenya & Tanzania tour will end on 8th August, where we will be dropped at Arusha airport in Tanzania
For the Uganda tour you will need to be staying at a hotel by Entebbe airport in Uganda on the night of 10th August
The Uganda tour begins on the morning of the 11th August where our transport will pick us up from Entebbe airport / nearby hotel
What you do between the two trips is up to you
For example, I will be flying from Arusha to Zanzibar on the 8th, have a couple of nights there, and then fly to Entebbe on the 10th

So if you'd like to do both tours, simply fill out the booking forms for both toursee

ACCOMMODATION

ARE THESE TOURS FOR ME?

It doesn't matter whether you're an experienced traveller or this is your first time away
All we're looking for a people who are easy going, up for an adventure, and most importantly a good laugh and a good time!
If you've seen the Morocco trip, you'll know what the vibe is going to be. We don't take ourselves too seriously, everyone just wants to have the most fun as possible.
A lot of the trips are very physically active and require a reasonable level of fitness
If you're high maintence, looking for perfection and pure luxury, then look elsewhere! These trips aren't budget backpacking by any means, we're not staying in dorms, eating cheap food. Accommodation is great, restaurants are hand-picked by the local team. But remember this is an adventure! Be ready for it.
Accommodation on this trips is twin-share, solo travellers will share a room with other travellers of the same gender (or pay an additional single room supplement). These trips are a great opportunity to get to know other like-minded people, so embrace it while you can!

HOW DO I BOOK?

Fill out the booking form once the tours are on sale.
You'll receive an automatic e-mail saying we've received your request - this isn't a confirmation that you're on the tour
Within 72 hours we'll then reply as to whether you're on the tour
Then Intrepid will arrange the deposit payment off you to secure your position (deposit amount will vary depending on the cost of the tour)
