Sabi Sand, Botswana, and Zimbabwe Safari

Our tour was booked through Indigo Safaris and Christopher Bartlett. Every connection his company made for us was perfect and went off without a problem as we started in South Africa at Sabi Sands and traveled through Zimbabwe before arriving in Botswana. We highly, highly recommend Indigo Safaris.

This was my first visit to Africa and we will return in June 2025. Thank you so much, and thank you for supporting nature and the local communities.
