Amazing Trip

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!

Kateri Walsh
Recommend highly!

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.

Completely fabulous from start to finish

Namibia and Botswana – 15-day dventure & Chobe Safari

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.

Indigo safaris created the holiday of our dreams!
