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.

Sounds like an incredible journey. We’re really glad everything ran smoothly and that the group connected so quickly. Liezl will be so happy to hear how much her organisation and care made a difference. It’s great to know the itinerary gave such a well rounded view of South Africa too.

Bali Indonesia

The trip was amazing Rach did a great job of keeping us alive and making sure we had the best time possible while also giving us freedom to explore on our own. 100/100 would do again! Overall I think that the trip was planned well everything was open for us to do or not do if we didn’t want to and there was also enough free time in places to go and do what we wanted outside of the planned trip activities. Taking the year out to travel around different countries was a wild one for me but Rach made it all worth it in Bali for sure!

What was your funniest moment?
Throwing Rach into the pool because she lost the bet that she wouldn’t muddle up names!
Pros
  • Fun
  • Exciting
  • Adventurous

  • Tiring
  • Early mornings long days

Hey Connor!

Love hearing this. We’re really glad the trip struck that balance between structure and freedom, and that you felt supported while still able to explore your own way. Rach will be happy to hear how much she helped make your Bali time such a standout!

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.
Pros
  • Accommodation
  • Group Leader
  • Activities

Hey Greta

Thanks so much for sharing this. We’re really glad the South Africa Adventure left such a strong impression and that Liezel’s passion and knowledge helped make it so special. Seeing the Big 5 in Kruger is pretty hard to top, and it’s great to hear the community experiences meant a lot to you too.

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.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Safari 1000%
Pros
  • Safari
  • Safari lodge in Hlane
  • Cape Town
What other participants should know

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

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The bundgy swing
Pros
  • Good tour guide
  • Fun travel mates
  • Great nature views

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

Response from Intro Travel

Thanks for the lovely feedback, Helen. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed South Africa and that Liezl made it such a special experience. Climbing Table Mountain and spotting the Big Five sound unforgettable.

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!
