Impact 🌎

At INTRO our commitment to a sustainable future is a key principle, and the driving force behind our Small Change initiative, which we launched in 2017.

As part of our goal to make a real positive impact to the environment, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects in 2019 to plant 10 trees for every booking we received. And as a result we’ve planted tens of thousands of trees, aided reforestation, rehabilitated wildlife and reduced poverty in multiple local communities.

However we wanted to go even further and achieve true sustainability, so in late 2023 we began a new partnership with Path Net Zero to accurately measure our tours emissions, and Veritree to plant trees to offset those emissions.

We are now very proud to say that every INTRO tour is 100% carbon neutral.

Intro South Africa

Just finished our intro South Africa trip with Liezl and had the time of our lives. We saw some amazing sights and felt safe the whole time. Liezl was amazing and super helpful throughout. This trip was great for solo travellers but also couples and appropriate for all ages! The activities were varied and we also had lots of free time with the options to do additional activities such as another safari and cliff walk! We stayed in incredible accommodations and lots of cultural experience throughout

An amazing experience!

Really enjoyed the variety of experiences on this trip. Liezl the guide was amazing and we absolutely love her. She was really informative and knowledgeable about SA and gave us all the support needed.

The safari was great and we got to see see some amazing animals up close. I would really recommend people to try this tour and it was brilliant. I got to meet some great people of mixed ages and nationalities. We all gelled really well. The travel between places was really smooth and our drivers Stephan and Milton were lovely.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?

South Africa experience

Liezl, the guide, was amazing! Best guide I’ve had in any of the other competitor companies. It was super well organized and everything was smooth. Especially enjoyed the Safari at Kruger. Accommodations were nice, clean and very comfortable. Even after this trip I feel rested, which is great.

The only thing to comment would be sometimes the day ended very early and we had no much included activities to do, so we had to pay for extras to have something to do.

In general amazing experience would totally do it again!

South Africa

I’ve really enjoyed my trip to South Africa with intro travel, I was unsure about going but I felt completely safe with Liezl! She is so knowledgeable about the country and made sure everyone was comfortable with what we were doing. All the activities were enjoyable and educational so I learnt a lot about the country. My favourite part was going to Soweto and helping out the less fortunate people, it really added a personal touch to the trip. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is wanting to travel around South Africa

The best guide for South Africa!!

Liezl is truly the heart of my South Africa experience. From start to finish, everything was planned with incredible precision and attention to detail, making the entire trip seamless and stress-free. She is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also so fun, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.

Liezl always went above and beyond, she had a solution for everything and was consistently proactive, considerate, and attentive to our needs. She made this vacation feel extra special in ways that went far beyond the itinerary.

This trip simply wouldn’t have been half as enjoyable without her. Liezl will forever be synonymous with South Africa for me, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Intro Travel South Africa

An absolutely amazing trip. So well organised. We had the best tour guide, Liezel. She was wonderful. Would recommend this trip to anyone in a heart beat ❤️

The best excursions, photo opportunities, and experiences.

I was apprehensive before booking, as I was a solo traveler. But lots of information is available beforehand, and the chance to chat to the people that will be in your group!

Always felt safe & had no problems.
Thanks, Liezel xxx

Incredible!

Had an amazing time in South Africa with Liezl and Intro Travel. From Johannesburg to Kruger national park to Cape Town, and many places in between. Everything was so organised and went extremely smoothly, Liezl made sure of it! The group gelled together straight away, as 20 & 30 year olds, of mainly solo travellers. The itinerary gave a really diverse look at the country, people, culture and history. All the accommodations were really nice, and the travelling was smooth, mainly in a large comfortable coach.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
We ate a traditional, simple African dish of samp and beans, a few times. It was delicious! All the food was spot on, with lots of choice, and very suitable for vegetarians and dietary requirements.
Pros
  • Fun
  • Insightful

South Africa Adventure with Liezel

I did the South Africa Adventure with Liezel in July. It was amazing. Liezel was such a great Group Leader with a lot of cultural knowledge. She was very passionate about her job and South Africa as well as neighbouring countries. My highlight was definitely Kruger National Park - we saw the big 5! It is obvious that INTRO care about the places and people they visit, and we had the opportunity to visit local communities and support them along the way. It has definitely made me want to do more trips, and I'll be back to Africa again for sure. Thank you Liezel!!

What was your funniest moment?
Funniest but also most amazing moment was seeing a ostrich in the wild courting another ostrich, from the bus window! Such a giant bird doing a dance was once in a lifetime.
