Kruger National Park National parks Trips

My 2 adult children and I first experienced Expat Explore on a Greek Island tour 3 years ago. Not knowing Expat, we took a chance and were thrilled with the results. With this in mind, we had no qualms in selecting Expat again for the Safari Tour. What an unbelievable experience. Let by a South African citizen, we got the flavor of the country and environment along with the thrill of seeing all the African animals in their natural setting. We witnessed dozens of zebras, giraffes, elephants,....etc congregating at different times and locations. We saw 18 lions at a watering hole during our night safari, including a white lion cub. We saw a leopard stalk an impala, 4 male lions stalk an African buffalo, and a chetah lead her 4 cubs to a recent kill for feeding. All this at a very reasonable price!

Just finished the Intro Sri Lanka experience and wow it was definitely an unforgettable experience! Our tour leader Matt went above and beyond - he was super knowledgable, fun, organised and passionate. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and group, we all bonded day 1 and laughed non stop for 12 days straight! We are even talking about having a reunion next year in South Africa. The tour itself is a perfect blend of cultural experiences, stunning beaches and hikes, animal conservation and delish food. This is my second tour with Intro and couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks again Matt for sharing your love of such a beautiful country ❤️🇱🇰

We had the privilege of having Cole Reizenburg as our tour guide in the South African tour. Cole was so informative and knew everything about South African history. Because of him I’ve gained so much knowledge and understanding about Apartheid and Nelson Mandela. He recommended great books I’m now obsessed with reading. He is only 26 but he is extremely mature and has so much knowledge and experience and guided the tour so well. I can’t imagine the pressure of taking care of 13 of us on the tour and organizing everything but he was calm, respectful, patient and welcoming even with difficult people. A few people, who were a lot older than him on the group were quite rude but Cole stayed calm and continued to treat everyone with respect and kindness. I don’t know how he does it! Cole was helpful to book our extra activities after the trip like paragliding. As a local he was able to give us his own experience of South Africa and recommended amazing food! I’ve been on the Mexico tour and previous tours with other companies but Cole is by far the best tour guide I’ve had. He made the trip incredible!

This is a Must! it is an unforgettable experience. Matt, our guide, is so knowledgeable, humorous, friendly and accommodating. The group was amazing. We had so much fun. Accommodation was outstanding and the meals outstanding. The coach was comfortable. The game drives are magical. We saw very rare animals like African Wild dogs big 5 and so much more. The sightseeing at Blyde River, God's window and Bourke's Luck was majestical. The group was amazing. I will definitely travel with Expat again as they provide a wonderful experience.

Just returned home from the 12 day Intro Tour in South Africa and wow what an amazing experience it was! From start to finish the tour was so efficiently planned out. Our group leader was Dan and his proactiveness and willingness to go above and beyond really eased the whole process for a first time solo traveller; messaging about transport options from the airport, daily packing lists and itinerary reminders, as well as being a really enthusiastic and fun guy. His love for South Africa shone through and made our experience incredible. As well as that we had a local guide called Liezl whos knowledge on her country was next to none, regularly providing story times on the bus and cultural facts as well as her love for birds on the game drives haha! She also went above and beyond in making the trip both memorable and informative. The overall trip itinerary was perfect! Starting off with the important history of South Africa in Johannesburg which set the scene for the trip before travelling round on game drives and seeing all the amazing wildlife South Africa has, truly a once in a lifetime experience. The culture in South Africa is really incredible and the locals loved putting on performances for us and getting us involved. And finally we arrived in Cape Town, which stole my heart. The most beautiful city on earth! South Africa I will be back and Intro Travel, thank you for making this trip all that it is!

Dan was an amazing guide who really went above and beyond. He has a great animal knowledge for SA and a keen eye for spotting the animals in the wild!! ¦˜¦¯¦ him and Sam were the dream team
