Voices from the Wild – Shared by Our Travellers
Tanya De Canha Namibia
Indigo Safaris is an extremely great company to work with. Matthew was super helpful from the beginning right up until our visit in Namibia.
Even in Namibia with recommendations Matthew came to the rescue. He made sure all our requests were fulfilled to the maximum and nothing was left out. His attention to detail is incredible. If you want the best, well organised trip I would recommend Matthew in a heart beat. Thanks once again for everything in making our dream trip a reality.
17-Day Northern Tanzania Safari Expedition with Zanzibar Beach Break
Some days passed since we got back to Argentina. We just wanted to thank you for your support and assistance in our trip to Tanzania, which was an incredible experience for us as a family, one of the most beautiful trips we made by far! Send our regards to Christopher as well please. Hope we can plan a trip again soon!
Northern Tanzania
Indigo Safaris exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were top-notch, and every detail was handled impeccably. I can't wait to book again.
Alina Dominica Sperm Whales
As all Indigo Safari trips I have done it was well organized and relaxing. The highlight was obviously swimming with the whales. I appreciate and respect Christopher's insistence of following protocol and not chasing or harassing animals…added bonus-it always leads to better interactions! Christopher has in depth knowledge of the village and surrounding areas and the land tour was a must for adventure and learning more about the island. Back to the whales which as I said are the star of the trip-the boat crew were excellent and very dedicated to getting us as many encounters as possible. It was an amazing week with memories that will stay with me!
Anna R. General
Indigo Safaris provided the ultimate safari experience. We saw the Big Five, stayed in incredible lodges, and made memories we will treasure forever.
Botswana – 11-day Okavango Delta and Chobe Safari
Ines was very professional and patient with all the setbacks my family faced not only with COVID issues but also with finding dates and availability of our travelers. Dealing with airline cancellations and Covid testing was challenging even until departure. We could not have traveled so "easily" under the circumstances without her!
Botswana – 8-Day Buffalo Safari – Group camping
chose Indigo Safaris as I wanted to book with a local company who knew their stuff. Michele helped with the booking process and was very helpful, responding quickly to all my questions and quickly pinning down safari dates. The actual safari in Botswana was provided by Bush Ways, who were fantastic - the planning and execution of the camping and safaris was top rate and Evans and Kepapa were our exceptional guide and cook. The wildlife was unbelievable, far exceeding my expectations.
Spending our last night in the Pioneers Lodge, after 6 nights of wild camping among the lions, hippos and elephants, was the perfect finish to a very memorable trip.
Botswana & Zimbabwe – 11-day Botswana & Zimbabwe Discoverer Safari
Perfect trip
Michele was exceptional with regular communications and helpful tips throughout.
Very flexible and quick response times.
Safari with Bushways was out of this world.
Highly recommended
Botswana photographic safari – Moremi, Khwai, Savuti, Chobe, Nxai Pan
Coming out of our life in our luxury UAE bubble to 1 vehicle for 2 weeks with 3 nationalities and 5 people/personalities, making this a rewarding exploration of Botswana could have been a challenge in itself.
Catering for individual needs in a group is a challenge that Christopher masters whilst at the same time multitasking as a patient driver, amazing chef & experienced field guide with us the guests helping pitch tents, prepping veg & doing the dishes.
Being in the lush green Okavango Delta with amazing campfire dinners to break the ice set the expectations for the game drives and camping in Moremi, Savuti, Chobe, Vic Falls and Nxai Pan.
Cynthia Lourenco Tach General
I had a great experience with Indigo Safaris. The team was very professional and responsive in answering all my concerns and ensuring I had a great experience. My trip was implemented by a local partner very professional. It was one of my best trip experiences.
Cristiana Namibia
A fantastic organized tour in Namibia
We visited Namibia for 10 days on a tour that included a shuttle, lodges, and some excursions. Everything worked out perfectly. Comfortable shuttles with friendly and helpful drivers, always on time. Lodges with all the comforts, friendly staff, and beautiful excursions.
Excellent value for money. We really recommend it.
Di Nam & Bots Combo
Indigo safaris created the holiday of our dreams!
Indigo safaris did an amazing job booking the perfect trip to Namibia and Botswana for two sixty year old women. Michele listened to what we wanted from our trip and designed a holiday which fitted our needs. Michele was quick to respond to messages even while we were away and even helped resolve issues that she had not even created. I can’t rate her highly enough.
Elizabeth T. General
Every moment of our trip was magical. The combination of professional guidance and stunning landscapes made this an extraordinary adventure.
Ellis – General Review
Everything lived up to my expectations. The service was top notch and the tours were amazing (including many leopard sightings!). Highly recommended
Emily First Kenya Safari
Kerry was incredible, truly! This was our first trip to Kenya and our first Safari and Kerry listened to what we wanted, made great suggestions and planned a fantastic holiday - thank you Kerry! Fantastic trip, great itinerary, 3 mini safaris within one seeing Amboseli, Laikipia and Mara. The organisation was seamless.
Family Safari to Tanzania: Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti, Zanzibar
We had a a great time! This was our first family safari, and it really hit the spot. The planning was thorough and detailed, and the choice of camps and hotel perfect. All the transfers worked seamlessly, and Christopher found us places to stay that we would not have found on our own. Thank you so much.
Greater Kruger and Lowveld Safari
I contacted indigo safari about having a few days in safari and they definitely didn't waist any time got right to work 😑
Shannon is amazing and she really did great a wonderful experience custom made just for us because I have a few medical issues she worked around it and she delivered the best experience for me and my wife...Needless to say we are already booking with her again and can't wait to see what she comes up with next a big thanks to Shannon
Helen 8-day Botswana Adventure Fly-in Safari – Private Fly-in
It was very well organized, the choice and order of the lodges was excellent giving a variety of experiences. We especially loved the small scale venues.
Honeymoon Safari in Tanzania
I cannot recommend this experience enough. Indigo Safaris went above and beyond to make sure our trip was special and they certainly achieved just that. We went to some of the most breath taking places and stayed in some incredible accommodation. Our driver Dickson was fabulous, we learned so much from him and thoroughly enjoyed spending a few days with him. This was all made possible because of indigo safaris professional and knowledgeable approach and we are so grateful to them. They were happy to work with our budget and tailor make an experience to our exact needs. The whole process was completely seamless and we would certainly book with them again!
Jean 11-day Botswana & Victoria Falls Zimbabwe Value-For-Money Safari – Private fly-in
Matt at Indigo Safaris arranged a fantastic trip for us! He was so helpful; willing to investigate every crazy request and answer every question :)
We experienced a wide range of habitats, from delta to desert, and saw the Big 5 plus so much more. A highlight of the trip was something we’d never heard of until Matt suggested it - a night sleeping under the African sky on an open 2-story platform, alongside a waterhole visited by lions, elephants, and other wild creatures throughout the night. The stars were absolutely magical!
All the internal flights arrived like clockwork. We were delighted with the intimate “mid-range” camps we chose with Matt’s advice. Each of them was very comfortable, employed lovely staff, offered good food, and had prompt laundry service. One of the best features of our trip was having close-up encounters with elephants and other animals as they roamed through these small camps.
We followed up our adventure with a stay at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, and it was the perfect touch of luxury after our time in the bush.
We’ve enjoyed previous safaris in Tanzania, Kenya, and the Pantanal Wetlands of Brazil, and we were delighted that Matt and Indigo were able to provide such a totally different experience for us. Would love to work with them again someday!
JJ South Africa
Excellent recommendations for an unforgettable trip
Indigo recommended several options for our trip, and we finally decided on Umkumbe Bush Lodge for our 3 night safari - it was an incredible unforgettable experience, the lodge itself was wonderful with great amenities, excellent food/drinks, and great tour guides. We saw all of the big 5 along with countless other wildlife, and I would highly recommend the whole experience.
Kaisa-Marie Botswana & Zanzibar – 14-day Botswana & Zanzibar Family Safari
Would definitely recommend to my friends!
Linda Kvilten 4 x 4
Makes everything for you to get the best out of your adventure!
I went on a 4 day Soussusvlei and Swakopmund tour and it was absolutely amazing. The contact with Indigo Safaris, in my case Michele, was excellent and she did absolutely everything to make the trip as memorable as I wished for.
When in Swakopmund I suggest you do the 4X4 wheel on the sand dunes in Sandwich Harbour which is the Namibia you´ve probably seen on pictures, where the dunes meets the ocean. Don´t miss this!
Travelling from Swakopmund to Sossusvlei was an adventure itself with the changing landscape along the road.
Also the guide we had, Kennedy, was great and a very good and safe driver.
I definitely recommend this tour and Indigo Safaris!
Malawi – 3-day Majete Safari at Thawale Lodge
Great experience. Everything went exactly as planned. Amazing service and a competitive price.
This is a special place. Amazing helpful staff, stunning location, great food.
Manuel D. General
I was impressed by how Indigo Safaris tailored our itinerary to match our interests. The guides were knowledgeable, and the wildlife sightings were phenomenal!
Namibia – 6-day Sossusvlei, Swakopmund & Etosha Shuttle Safari
I cannot recommend this operator highly enough. From the very beginning, Michele was extremely accommodating to our needs, ensuring that the program was tailored perfectly to our schedule and wishes. This personalized approach made our safari experience truly unforgettable.
The richness of background materials provided enhanced our understanding and enjoyment of the tour. We were well-informed about the places we would visit, transportation, and lodging.
Moreover, Michele was always within reach to clarify any questions or concerns we had. This level of accessibility and responsiveness made us feel supported and confident throughout the tour.

Pemba Island Break
came home feeling relaxed refreshed and revitalized, ready to take on the new year, so I feel we had a “real” holiday. All the diving was outstanding with unbelievably excellent visibility. Two dives in particular were very special for me –one was exhilarating flying through the current at Emelio’s back passage and the other was another dive site at Fundu Gap (I think it was Manta Point) where the coral and the fish were superb. The service from all the staff was attentive and caring. Craig and Sam were very professional and excellent dive leaders, as well as being fun, interesting and good company. Elaf created some delicious fish dishes, all meals were so beautifully presented.
Peter L. General
From the moment we booked to the final day of our trip, everything was taken care of. The lodges were superb, and the safaris were out of this world. Highly recommended!
Sarah G – Beach & Safari South Africa
Every detail was flawless. We saw the Big Five in Kruger, and then spent five blissful days on Benguerra Island. Thank you for making our dream trip so easy.
Sarah H. General
The team at Indigo Safaris crafted a dream vacation for us. The attention to detail, the seamless coordination, and the breathtaking destinations made this one of the best experiences of our lives.
Scott 9-day Classic Migration Safari
Our guide, Peter, was outstanding and every accommodation was excellent.
Socorro Mexico
Great organization, great trip, good price/performance ratio.
South Africa & Mozambique – 18-day Greater Kruger Safari and Southern Mozambique Diving Adventure
We would definitely recommend Indigo. Ines was so helpful and responded quickly whenever we had a question. The digital itinerary was great and easy to help us keep track of our trip!
Southern Africa – 13-Day – Botswana, Zimbabwe, & South Africa Adventure
From the minute I met Shannon, she wanted to make sure we had the best trip. She planned amazing experiences for my son and I. We went to Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa and everything was perfect. Whenever I had any questions, Shannon always got back to me right away! I definitely recommend her to plan this memorable trip.
Tanzania – Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater Safari
Our safari in Tanzania was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived at Serengeti National Park, everything was fantastic — the camp was perfect, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The warm welcome, enthusiasm, attention, and constant smiles from everyone made our stay even more special.
At Tarangire, we once again enjoyed excellent service, a beautiful tent, and wonderful hospitality. Everything was perfectly organized. We were still delighted with our stay and overall experience.
From start to finish, the trip went smoothly and was perfectly managed. For a first safari in Tanzania, it was an incredible success. Thank you, Christopher, and the entire team for making this such a memorable adventure!
Tanzania trip to Ruaha and Pemba
We were the only 2 passengers into Ruaha and arrived ahead of schedule after a very smooth, easy flight. And essentially we were the only people staying at the River Lodge, so we were treated very well and had our own driver and guide the whole time. I truly enjoyed our stay in Ruaha - it is a beautiful park, particularly after the rain. We had some great lion sightings and even watched them with a kill.
On to Pemba and again the flight was on time, easy flight, etc. The road transfer ride Saray is interesting to watch the scenery go by and our driver was friendly and bought us bananas on the way! We were met with a very-appreciated cold drink and made to feel very welcome. Mum and I snorkelled one day and I kayaked in the mangroves another day. Otherwise we enjoyed watching the view horizontally (that is lying on the couches watching the water). We met some fascinating people from all areas of the globe. It feels like one big happy family at KS, a very relaxed welcoming approach.
So we had a fantastic time. Flights ran on time, the weather was good, and we were very well looked after at both our destinations.
Uganda & Kenya – 13-day Tailor-made Uganda & Kenya Safari
Indigo Safaris provided us with an ideal itinerary for our travel to Uganda and Kenya. They were quick to respond to all our communications and were full of great options or ideas and very pleasant to deal with. Kerry Wyatt with Indigo Safaris was our main contact when we made our initial contact with that company to assist us with planning a once in a lifetime trip to East Africa for a gorilla trek and safari experience. She was terrific in setting up an ideal travel itinerary for the two of us, very pleasant and in spite of the time difference was very prompt in providing responses to us with very good input and ideas for our travel.
Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park Zimbabwe Safari
Amazing for photography, great organization.
Zimbabwe & Mozambique – 9-day Victoria Falls & Bazaruto Dream
We had a great experience with Indigo Safari. Everything was perfect. Ines was so kind and always so quick to respond to all our questions and concerns.
I do recommend Indigo Safari: amazing service and a right price.
Hope to have the chance to travel with IndigoSafari in the future. and thank you again Ines for our trip.amazing service and a right price.
15-day Cape Town, Zimbabwe & Botswana Safari
I am a solo traveler, who was seeking a safe way to do some African safaris for the first time without a tour group. Indigo Safaris made suggestions and we created a trip based on my priorities. My accommodations in Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls and Botswana were unique, beautiful with good service and fabulous food! My guides were terrific. I literally felt like a princess, while at the lodges. When I needed assistance a couple of times, Indigo personnel were responsive to that.
I have travelled quite a lot, and this was one of the best trips I have taken. I believe that one of the strengths of Indigo Safaris is that the agents you work with are so experienced. They personally visit the destinations and accommodations before sending their clients there. So, for example, they knew, where I would see many elephants, which are my personal favorite wild animal, but fewer tourists.
I felt the cost of my trip was very fair and the trip cost included all of the land transfers and many of my meals. highly recommend Indigo Safaris for any sort of trip to Africa.
