South Africa Food Trips

I can't tell you how enjoyable this trip was. We were 8 people in the group, as well as our brilliant guide Ado and the excellent driver Gavin. So much work went into making this trip just amazing. Everything worked out just perfectly, we had no punctures or problems at all. Ado's knowledge of South Africa and its history was incredible as well as the entire continent. The group all got on well with one another and we stayed at some really nice hotels along the way. The only thing is I wanted to do it all over again!

A full on trip which maximised our time in South Africa. A really good balance of cultural insights, scenery and wildlife. This wouldn't have been possible without our super guide Christian. He knew how to keep us safe, was resolutely positive and energetic, and made the trip. There was a lot of driving which we knew about when we booked. If we had more annual leave available, we would have booked an extra night in Capetown at the end. This would have enabled us to book both a Robben Island excursion, and a Cape of Good Hope trip. We are very glad that we booked this trip.

This tour was well paced and a great introduction to South Africa, especially for travelers who enjoy exploring the world and finding the unexpected. One of the biggest surprises was the food. The cuisine was so unique and, as our guide advised us, plentiful. Paired with excellent South African wine, you are completely spoiled. Don't hesitate to try new things such as Bobotie or ostrich. All of the areas we visited were beautiful. I particularly loved Hermanus with its charming vibe and a spectacular whale watch, and I will dream of Tsitsikamma for a long time. Gazing into tide pools and spotting a beautiful octopus was incredible. Of course, a big part of Africa is the wildlife and this tour gives you plenty of exposure to many of the animals you hope to see. The elephants at Addo felt like something out of a movie. Cape Town is also fascinating. I had no idea the Cape of Good Hope was so vast. The beauty cannot be surpassed. We were lucky enough to have a perfect view at the top of Table Mountain, as well. The people are incredibly kind and friendly wherever you go and it we enjoyed experiencing the mixture of cultures. The accommodations on this tour vary, but we enjoyed them all. The guesthouse in De Rust was so special as the hosts cooked incredible meals for us each night and treated us like special friends. All in all, the time in South Africa was something I will never forget. The people, the scenery, the animals, the food...all of it was so much more than what I expected.

This was an excellent tour that never disappointed. While the tour was rated full on and we were busy, it never felt rushed or pressured. It definitely lives up to it's name, a great representation of the variety that is South Africa.

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!
