-
Pleasant weather, lush green landscapes, excellent for hiking and safaris.

South Africa – KwaZulu-Natal Bush and Beach
There are only positive things to say about our trip to Rhino lodge and St Lucia: the accommodation was top quality, great food, a very well organised trip and the staff were very helpful.
We saw rhinos, some lions, wild dogs, plenty of different antelope. Plus giraffes, which we got to walk amongst in the veld.
Overall, it was a very special experience for my companions and myself.

Amazing trip
Nambiti Game Reserve, South Africa
This was an amazing trip that we simply would not have found had it not been for Indigo Safaris. From the initial enquiry right through to booking and post trip, they were a delight to deal with. Wow! What a place. Just three hours from Durban, this was an amazing safari. It was just the perfect blend of super organised, yet relaxed, great animal watching (but very much still wild); lovely food (and plenty of it). And the ambience was one of enjoyment in a premium setting. not luxury and stand-offish. Everything just worked, from 1pm arrival to 10am leaving three days later, we were looked after by real people doing a great job.
