Journeys Intent

Perhaps the wildest safari experience in Africa 🐾🦏🦒🦓🍂

Jakob has been to Tanzania with Jean Du Plessis to experience Africa's wildest and most unique safari - by foot in the Serengeti. He just sent a virtual postcard:

"...I'm on the Serengeti with my family - and in the company of our good friend and partner, Jean, with whom we run Journeys Intent ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜.

Jean is one of the best guides in Tanzania with an unheard-of and unique knowledge of the Serengeti. He has, among other things, spent the past 25 years exploring the vast plain on foot, so he knows exactly where to be to avoid the crowds (of which there's otherwise plenty in the Serengeti!) 👣

We have explored for 5 days almost without seeing anyone else. Instead of people, we've seen animals (lots of them) and gotten close to nature. It's been quite surreal - several times, we've been in the midst of the migration; surrounded by thousands of wildebeests.

I've experienced the migration before, but never like this. Never this wild and beautiful.

We have also been lucky enough to spot one of Serengeti's very few rhinos, which even the guides rarely see 🦏

Of course, we have also seen the more common animals such as lions, cheetahs, large herds of elephants, hippos, and many different antelope species. 🐆🐘🦁🦛🦒🦓🐃

But the greatest experience was to be alone in the raw and wild nature. To experience the bush on foot with no sound of car engines. To search for the animals and not just drive to where you know they are.

Now we are ready for Zanzibar where Chumbe Island's corals and tropical fish are waiting 🪸🐠

All the best from Jakob

Greetings from Tanzania, where our co-owner Jean Du Plessis is guiding a small group through some of the most remote corners of Serengeti.

The trip is a unique combo of game drives and walking safari in areas closed for normal safaris.

This is the kind of experience even the most expensive camps cannot match - and in our opinion by far the best way to experience Serengeti National Park.

Meet our team 👋 - meet Lars Mathiasen
- The closest you get to a professional traveler 🌎👣

Lars has worked with all aspects of the travel industry and traveled extensively on most of the planet in the last three decades. Being truly international he is Danish by birth 🇩🇰, lives in Spain 🇪🇸 and his wife is from The Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

For Lars, it is extremely important to redefine travel and responsibility in the industry. He is an advocate for "small over big hotels" and "local over global ownership", which is also how we do it in Journey's Intent 💚♻️
Less is more ✨

In Lars's own words:

"If we are able to take the best off-the-beaten-track adventure travel of my youth and combine it with the best eco-lodges and small privately-owned resorts in the world, we will see diversity in travel and true authenticity come to life."
