Day 1
Day Notes:
Arriving in Kasane, an extraordinary cruise on the Chobe River awaits you. The meeting point is in Kasane at 12.30 and you will board the boat at around 14.00. This cruise will offer close encounters with aquatic wildlife and birds not easily approached on safari, and serve as a great ice-breaker. Afterward, there will be a leisurely game drive to your camp in Chobe National Park, where you will enjoy sunset views over the floodplain. You'll arrive at camp before dark, welcomed by the safari team to your home for the next two nights, staying at private sites with ensuite bush ablutions.

Day 2
Day Notes:
The next day, your morning and afternoon game drives will meander along the banks of the river, followed by the call of the majestic African Fish Eagle. The Chobe River Floodplain is an amazing game viewing area where water attracts large herds of buffalo, elephants, zebras and other herbivores. Due to the proliferation of prey, predators are likely to be close at hand.

Botswana & Zimbabwe – 11-day Eagle Safari – Group Tour
Trip was amazing, everything we were hoping it would be. The guides and staff were very friendly and accomodating. We had incredible wildlife sightings and enjoyed a great group of people.
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.
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.
Southern Africa Safari: Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kruger
We just returned to the States after a safari in Southern Africa and Botswana and I wanted to say how pleased we were with the camps we stayed in: Meno a Kwena, Mokolwane, and Hyena Pan. The camps and guides were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and welcoming. We are nature lovers first and when our group had a safari vehicle to ourselves, the guides and camps were willing to make lunch for us and stay out all day. This was the absolute best and we had a blast photographing and observing.
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.
