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.

Warmth and Safety

From the beginning of the trip Liezl made us feel nothing but welcome as if we had a family member in a brand new country. No problem or requirement on any of our behalf’s was too much for her. The trip itself was awesome so much fun and so beautiful to immerse ourselves with the locals and not see SA from the outside lens of a tacky tourist but of a true springbok ! #thxliezl

I hope to one day experience a trip like this one day. Unforgettable!!!
Loved it
So happy would do it all over again !!

Memorable South Africa trip

Unfortunately our trip is coming to an end. Liezl has gone above and beyond to make this trip possible. We had an incredible time and I will treasure the memories and friends made!

Thank you for being so flexible, recommending activities and including our interests into the schedules.

I highly recommend booking this trip, it is certainly worth the time and money spend.

Thank you, Mamma Liezl 🫶. Wishing you many greetings and best of luck for the coming trips.

With best regards and much love

such a great adventure

We spent two amazing weeks travelling through South Africa with our tour guide, Liezl, and she was simply the best! She took such incredible care of all of us and made sure everyone felt comfortable, safe, and welcome throughout the entire trip.

What made this experience so special was how much she genuinely cared about each and every one of us. By the end of the tour, it didn’t feel like we were a group of strangers anymore, but like one big family.

I also got a little sick towards the end of the trip, and Liezl went above and beyond to take care of me. Her kindness, support, and genuine concern meant so much to me, and I’ll never forget it.

Thank you, Liezl, for making these two weeks so special and for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever.

Intro Travel - South Africa

Our trip with Intro Travel and especially our guide Liezl was amazing. The trip was well organized and structured. Liezl went above and beyond with everything and was truly fun to be around with.
We felt well taken care of and safe at all times. We loved the mix of culture, history and animals. We saw so many amazing animals and stayed at some great accommodations. Especially Eswatini was truly amazing! I would 100% recommend this tour!!!
I hope there will be more Africa tours coming up soon because I will be one of the firsts to sign up :)

Intro Travel South Africa 2026

The trip was perfectly planned, organised and executed by our brilliant tour guide Liezl. The trip had everything you could ask for if you are a lover of nature, learning about local culture, adventure and beautiful scenes. Liezl brought lot's of fun, information and attentiveness. Would definitely recommend. Highlights included the game drives and experiencing and learning about the local culture, especially Eswatini for game drives, and visiting the apartheid museum, Soweto and the creches meeting the children. The food was also amazing overall.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Lions and baby elephants up close. A leopard, the game drives were amazing.

Safe, Surreal sights and SO much fun!

South Africa is my favourite trip so far, from the experience, to the group and not forgetting the leader Liezl who was there to support us every step of the way.

I cannot thank her enough for giving us such an incredible experience. From start to finish we were made to feel comfortable and safe, Liezls knowledge is unbeatable - anything we wanted to know she would find out if she didn't already have an encyclopedia about Africa stored in her brain. She went out of her way to make us laugh, try new things and enjoy every day as if it was our last. Even when I was unwell - the support was faultless.

Thank you so much for helping me tick SA off my bucket list and making it the best adventure possible. I will never forget this trip!

What was your funniest moment?
When we had to get Liezl to chase a bat from our room at Hlane National park
Pros
  • As a solo traveller I felt supported and safe
  • Saw a lot of fascinating animals
  • Made great friends

Hey Josie, Liezl sounds like she brought the perfect mix of knowledge, care and fun to your South Africa trip. We’re especially glad you felt supported when you weren’t feeling well. That kind of care matters. We’ll make sure Liezl sees this lovely message. Sounds like SA has earned a permanent spot in your favourites.

4th April SA Adventure

I recently did the Intro Travel tour across South Africa and had such an amazing experience. I went in the autumn but the weather was still great. The itinerary was a perfect mix of city life, culture and nature, starting in Johannesburg and finishing in Cape Town, with unforgettable stops like Kruger National Park along the way.

There were plenty of optional activities to choose from, which made it easy to tailor the trip depending on what you enjoy, whether that is adventure, wildlife or more relaxed experiences.

A huge highlight of the trip was our group leader, Liezl. She was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful, and always made safety a priority, which was really reassuring as a solo traveller. She also brought so much fun to the group with her sense of humour.

I travelled solo and found it a great way to meet like minded people. The group dynamic was brilliant from the start and I made some really lovely friends along the way.

I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone thinking about visiting South Africa, especially if you are travelling solo. I would absolutely book with Intro Travel again.

What was your funniest moment?
Safari was amazing seeing the animals up close and having the chance to go again as an additional extra allowed us to see more.
Pros
  • Safari and rhino walk
  • Cape Town and Boulders Beach
  • Graskop cliff walk
What other participants should know
  • Not a lot of beach time
  • Lots of driving on winding roads
  • Lots of early rises
