Where the Wild Heart Beats
From the vast, untamed plains of the Serengeti to the whispering sand dunes of the Namib Desert, from gorilla-filled rainforests in Uganda to the coral-fringed islands of the Indian Ocean, Africa is a continent that captivates, humbles, and transforms all who wander its lands. At Indigo Safaris, we believe Africa is not just a destination—it’s a calling. A journey into Africa is a journey into the soul of the natural world.

Best Times to Visit Africa
Timing is everything—here’s when to catch Africa at her finest.
Africa’s vast and varied geography means the best time to visit depends on where you’re heading and what you hope to see. However, a general rule is that the dry season offers the best wildlife viewing conditions across most safari destinations. Here’s a regional breakdown to help guide your planning
- 🐾 Southern Africa (Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa)
-
May to October is the dry season, offering superb wildlife sightings as animals gather around water sources. This is also the best time for walking safaris and game drives in open terrain.
- 🐾 East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda)
-
June to October is ideal for safaris and gorilla trekking, with clear skies and less rain. The Great Migration usually peaks between July and September in the Serengeti and Maasai Mara.
- 🐾 Indian Ocean Islands (Zanzibar, Seychelles, Mozambique)
-
These destinations are generally warm year-round, with the driest months being from June to October. December to March is also popular for beach escapes and diving.
- 🐾 Madagascar
-
Best visited from April to December when the weather is drier and more suitable for exploring its unique wildlife and coastlines.
Where to Go
A continent of contrasts, from desert dunes to tropical isles, and everything in between.
A tapestry of legendary safari destinations, each with its own magic, awaits.
And far beyond, Africa extends her wonders to the Seychelles, Mozambique, Madagascar, and more—each corner promising adventure and serene experiences in equal measure.
- 🐾 South Africa
-
Big Five safaris, the photogenic Drakensberg, world-class wine, and dramatic coastal drives.
- 🐾 Tanzania
-
The Great Migration in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro’s volcanic caldera, and idyllic island escapes on Zanzibar
- 🐾 Namibia
-
Dunes that meet the sea, desert-adapted wildlife, and cinematic scenery.
- 🐾 Zambia & Zimbabwe
-
Remote bush camps, walking safaris, and the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls.

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!

Amazing Okavango Delta & Beyond
Kenya Bush and Beach
I worked with Matthew for over 18 months creating the Perfect Kenyan Safari + Chale Island Beach vacation for my husband and I. He was so very patient with me, answered every single question of mine (and there were a LOT of questions - as neither my husband nor I had ever been to Africa!), and gave us all the tips of traveling in Africa, where to go, where NOT to go - and worked with us in such a kind manner while also keeping our budget in mind. I would HIGHLY recommend Indigo Safaris as a tour operator to anyone that wants that Perfect experience in a different land, while also keeping us very safe as well!!!!

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.
