Step Into a New Adventure

Step Into a New Adventure

As we step into 2026, Intrepid's new journeys promise to take you to some of the most stunning locations in Africa through unique experiences. When people think of Africa, they often picture vast landscapes filled with majestic lions or gigantic elephants. However, the true charm of this continent lies in its little secrets.

There are hidden paths leading to fascinating discoveries, like proud termite mounds where millions of tiny creatures scurry about, or the light fragrance of sagebrush during a safari. Of course, Intrepid's new adventures in 2026 will not lack grand experiences, but it is these small moments that will stay with you long after your journey ends.

1. Fall in Love with Sierra Leone

If Sierra Leone were the quirky friend in a romantic comedy, you'd find it more appealing than ever. On this new adventure in Sierra Leone, you’ll kayak along the Moa River to the UNESCO-listed Tiwai Island, home to adorable pygmy hippos. You’ll also visit the village of Boma to meet the pioneering female chief, Kadie, who hails from a matrilineal lineage. A highlight of your trip will be relaxing on the beaches of the Banana Islands.

2. Ignite Your Creativity in Tunisia

If you have a creative spirit, a nine-day journey through Tunisia will delight you with fresh experiences. Your adventure begins with a calligraphy class led by a master at his studio in Tunis, followed by a hands-on session making makroudh pastries and harvesting dates in the oases of Tozeur. A special treat will be enjoying lunch in a troglodyte house in Matmata, famous for being a filming location for Star Wars.

3. Sleep Under the Stars in Botswana

Camping will never feel the same after this family safari in Botswana. You’ll spend eight colorful days sleeping on cozy mattresses amidst the stunning Makgadikgadi salt pans. After a day spent exploring the lives of meerkats, you’ll enjoy a BBQ dinner with your family on the soft white sands.

4. Learn the African Way in Kenya and Tanzania

When kids refuse to listen, why not try communicating in clicks? On this family trip to Tanzania and Kenya, children will learn from the Hadzabe community and Maasai warriors. They’ll also explore iconic sights like the Ngorongoro Crater and Maasai Mara, ensuring they’ll be left speechless with wonder.

5. Summit New Heights in Morocco

If you love hiking but don’t want to forgo comfort, Intrepid’s trekking experience in Morocco will meet your expectations. You’ll explore the Atlas Mountains and meet the Amazigh people in their quaint villages, then unwind at Riad La Cle D'or with its spa and pool.

6. Discover Wild Nature in Uganda

If you’re ready for nine days of adventure with young explorers, the Essential Uganda and Gorilla Trek will thrill you. You’ll encounter chimpanzees in Kibale National Park and have the chance to raft on the Nile River. But perhaps the most incredible experience will be spending time in Bwindi Park to meet the rare mountain gorillas.

7. Train Through National Parks in Kenya

On the Kenya by Rail journey, you’ll spot wildlife right from your train window. You’ll ride the Madaraka Express from Tsavo East to West and even have the opportunity to plant a tree in the Taita Hills sanctuary. A hot air balloon safari at sunrise over Amboseli will be an unforgettable experience.

8. Sunset Views in Botswana

Before concluding your journey, you’ll take a guided walk through the baobab forest and enjoy a sunset by the campfire at Gweta. The Essential Botswana trip not only offers incredible moments at Khama Rhino Sanctuary and the Okavango Delta but also immerses you in the traditional rituals of the region.
