Tours with Intrepid Travel in Western Africa.Real life experiences.

Intrepid Travel has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1989. A company that began with two bearded backpackers, a typewriter and a kitchen table now leads 100,000 travellers across the globe each year.

Today, Intrepid runs more than 1,000 itineraries across the globe and employs more than 1,500 staff and leaders (many of whom don’t even have beards). And while Indiana Jones got bored of travelling after only three adventures (we don’t talk about the fourth), Intrepid is still adding to our list of itineraries across Europe, Asia, Africa, North & South America, the Middle East, Australia and both the Arctic & Antarctica.

Western Africa
Western Africa is the region South-West of the Sahara desert, with countries like Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Niger and Nigeria. People speak mostly French or English. Cacao (chocolate) is a Mexican invention, but the world center for cacao beans is now in Western Africa.
