Omo to Nairobi
Overview
Highlights
- Stray off the beaten track to the remote tribal areas of the Omo Valley, where a staggering concentration of different cultures live side-by-side in such a small area
- Be amazed by untouched landscapes and festive tribal cultures in Samburu, a national park in which lions, elephants and impala could appear at any moment
- A free day in Naro Moru lets you explore the foothills of Mount Kenya as you please. Hike trails in search of exotic birds, explore hidden caves, or game-drive through Sweetwater Reserve
- Stunning in its own right, Lake Nakuru National Park offers an excellent chance of spotting one of Africa's most sought-after beasts, the rare black rhinoceros
- Visit Elsamere, the former home of legendary conservationist Joy Adamson, on the banks of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley

The Intrepid Travel Experience
If you’re looking for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 25 years, we’ve been taking small groups of travelers on unforgettable trips around the world. What makes them unforgettable? Take a look for yourself and discover the Intrepid experience.
Our travelers have three styles of tour to choose from: Basix, Original and Comfort. Each has a different level of inclusions and accommodation, but all have unforgettable real life experiences as part of the package. Travellers can also choose themed trips, such as Family, Sailing or Food, to suit their interests.
Our group size has an average of just ten travellers, which allows us to get off the beaten track, use local accommodation and transport, and really get to know the culture. It also ensures we are contributing to the local economy; by choosing local suppliers we were able to keep AUD 60 million in local economies in 2012. We’re also working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and were the first in our sector to introduce carbon offset trips. This, along with our many corporate sustainability activities, has meant we’re one of the travel industry’s leaders in responsible travel.
Why Intrepid?
- Small groups - average of 10 people per trip
- Sustainability - pioneers for the industry
- Local leaders - authentic perspectives
- Local transport - get close and personal
- Local accommodation - experience real living
- Intrepid travelers - like-minded companions
