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.

Amazing tour

Had the BEST time in South Africa! Very different to any other intro tour I’ve done - in the very best way. Wholesome vibes, lifelong memories and experiences. Liezel was amazing, looked after us and loved that she joined in the fun with us. Felt very safe being with a South African.

The safari was absolutely incredible and a once in a lifetime experience. Loved Hlane National Park and the lodge we stayed in, wish we were there for longer.

Food had been amazing, loved everything and everywhere we ate.

South Africa tour

It was lovely! The tour guide was awesome and very helpful at times of need. Liezl helped me through all complications and made sure I had a nice holiday. The trip is very good if you want to see a bunch of south africa in a short amount of time. If youre traveling alone I would highly recommend this tour. I don’t think you’d be as safe without it and everything will be booked for you! Also for those interested, you can book a room for yourself if you want to have a calm evening by yourself. Overall had a great time

South Africa 25

Had an incredible experience with Liezl on this tour, would highly recommend, every day included moments of a lifetime from climbing Table Mountain at sunrise to seeing the big five on safari, it has truly been incredible. We covered a huge amount in 12 days but it didn't feel rushed and at every point Liezl accommodated our needs and always went the extra mile for us, including booking us a wine tour on our final day. Anyone thinking about South Africa should book this tour, it wont disappointment

Incredible tour guide - made the trip!

We went on a group tour of South Africa. Liezl was an unbelievable host and guide throughout - nothing was too much trouble, she was exceptionally caring and kind to the whole group and made sure every individual got to have the experiences they wanted. Liezl was full of interesting and useful historical and cultural information and the experiences were really well-planned. I most enjoyed the game drives, cultural experiences and the climb up Table Mountain. We would love to have her as our guide everywhere! A sensational tour.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had the most incredible experience travelling with Intro Travel in Africa! From start to finish, everything was so well-organised and thoughtfully planned — it was the perfect balance of adventure, culture, and relaxation.

Our tour guide, Liezl, was absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt included, comfortable, and safe throughout the trip. Her local knowledge, warm personality, and genuine care for the group made the experience even more special.

I always felt completely safe and supported, even in places that were new and unfamiliar. The accommodation, activities, and transport were all top quality, and it was clear how much effort went into creating an authentic and fun itinerary.

I left Africa with lifelong memories, great friends, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and culture of each place we visited. I can’t recommend this trip enough — it was truly unforgettable!
