What travelers are saying

"This was a fantastic trip. Everything went well from start to finish, the views and the hikes were amazing! Nigel Lewis is an excellent guide and was patient and empathetic, managing the different walking paces in our group very effectively. The hotel was clean, comfortable and had a beautiful lakeside view. We were well fed, both in the hotel and in local restaurants. Our group gelled together very well and we sincerely enjoyed each other's company for the week. We swapped the walks on the last two days due to weather conditions and I feel that this should be amended on the itinerary as the walk on the last day was the best and a perfect way to end the week's hiking. A perfect holiday, thank you Explore for a great week, already searching for the next trip!"

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

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."

Zambia Tour Selection Trips

  • Zambia’s dry season (June-October) is the best time to visit, when animals gather at rivers and watering holes to drink.
  • The best big game viewing in the country is in North and South Luangwa national parks.
  • Zambia is the top country in Africa for walking safaris; if you’re adventurous and want a truly memorable experience -- a step above game drives -- look for itineraries that include them.
  • Walking safaris are accompanied by multiple armed and experienced rangers, so safety is not a major issue even in the presence of potentially dangerous animals.
  • Zambia is an excellent birding destination; Lower Zambezi National Park and Blue Lagoon National Park are two of the best places.
  • If you’re looking for the “real Africa” of yesteryear, you can find an authentic wilderness experience in Zambia.
