- Hey travelers, today I am reviewing,
the Intrepid Overland Tour Bus,
that we took from Vic Falls down to Joeburg
via several national parks.
Let me tell ya, this thing is a rig.
So it's purpose built to cart 24 passengers,
purpose built for camping, purpose built for Africa.
I think one of the most important things is
that it's comfortable.
You spend so long on this thing
so you really do some big days in an Overland Safari
on the bus.
I think the longest day was up to 10 hours,
so when you think about that,
most important thing, comfy seats.
They were like coach seats, so they were quite comfortable,
easy to sleep on.
I'd recommend taking a pillow, or a neck pillow,
on the bus to get a sleep in,
but I slept on the bus several times.
You got early starts, you're often tired,
you want to be comfortable, and you want
to be able to have a snooze when you need to.
There's heaps of storage, which is really important
because when you cart all your stuff for camping
with us we had myself and Nat, and four teenagers,
between us we had 10 bags which included all our pillows
and sleeping bags.
So what they've got under the bus is where you store
all your bags, and you can push all your bags in underneath,
and then on the bus they've got storage lockers.
So what you do is get anything out that you're going
to need for the next day, or couple of days,
put it in the storage locker for easy access,
then you can go to the storage locker
and get your stuff out.
Above your seats, there's a storage shelf,
and that's just good for your cameras and stuff like that
that you need while you're on the bus.
In the overhead shelves, they have USB charging points,
so you can charge your phones and things
as you're driving along.
For safari viewing, these things are just unbelievable.
They got a really high vantage point,
particularly when you going through national parks
like Kruger or whatever, if someone's pulled up looking
at some elephants, this thing can just pull up
along side'em and you just look straight over the top.
You get an unobstructed view out to the wildlife.
The windows can be slid down to be completely open,
so for photography for example, you can get your zoom lens,
aim right out the window, and get those up close shots
which was fantastic.
These things don't have aircon, but it doesn't really matter
because you can open up the windows,
you get a nice breeze through the bus,
and at no point did I think it was to hot
on the bus while we're traveling.
But off-road, these things did really well.
We went down a lot of really crappy, crappy roads,
and this thing handled it very well,
and because the seats are so comfy,
you just sort of bounce along and enjoy the ride.
As far as camping, these things are unbelievable.
They've got storage for all the tents,
all the camp cooking stuff, all the mattresses,
all your pillows, all your bedding, and because of that,
the camping experience is much better
because they take everything you need.
When you're out there, you've got good meals,
you're dry, you're warm, you're comfortable.
It's everything you want.
Overall rating for the Intrepid Overland Tour Bus
is a five out of five.
I can't think of any improvements they need.
They are comfortable, heaps of storage,
they got great viewing for wildlife.
They're really comfortable, they did off-road really well,
and they cart everything they need for camping.
They're absolutely brilliant.
Based on the overall experience of the tour,
and how comfortable the tour buses are,
I can highly recommend the Intrepid Overland Tours.
Well done, Intrepid.
