Itinerary

Olderkesi Conservancy, Kenya

Olderkesi Conservancy stretches across the southeastern corner of the Mara, near the Tanzanian border, forming a vital corridor for wildlife moving between the Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. Each year, wildebeest and zebra thunder through these grasslands during the Great Migration, watched closely by lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. Elephants, giraffes, and antelope roam freely across riverine valleys, forests, and woodlands, while birds, reptiles, and smaller mammals thrive in the quieter corners of the landscape. The Maasai, original inhabitants of the area, still live here as semi-nomadic pastoralists, guiding large herds of cattle across the plains and keeping their cultural traditions alive.

Kenya – 4-day Maasai Mara Honeymoon

It has been fantastic. Kerry, our contact, has always been very supportive and looking for the best options for us. The organization has been perfect and we enjoyed a lot the safari, the food, the guide, the resort. For sure we will collaborate with Indigo Safaris again :)

Kenya – 14-day Tailor-made Kenya Safari & Beach Break

We had an outstanding experience with Indigo Safaris! Kerry crafted our Kenyan trip to perfection, tailoring every detail to our preferences. Our adventure included game drives through Masai Mara, Nairobi National Park, Amboseli, and Tsavo West. Kerry's advice was invaluable, particularly her suggestion to visit Lake Naivasha, which turned out to be an incredibly unique and worthwhile stop.
Every lodge we stayed at was exceptional, offering perfect accommodations, delicious food, and warm, welcoming staff. We truly appreciated Kerry's reliable guidance, sound advice, and excellent recommendations throughout the trip.
Overall, I cannot recommend Indigo Safaris highly enough. Although it was a significant investment for us, the trip truly delivered incredible value.

Exceptional Experience with Indigo Safaris

Kenya – 14-Day Tailor-made Kenya Safari

Indigo organised everything perfectly, from the remarkable local driver guide to the choice of locations and accommodation.
The safari destinations were wonderful in every way, although the mass migration had left us behind by October. A short stopover between the national parks was at Lake Naivasha, including a boat ride and walking with the animals, and a guided bike ride and hike through Hell's canyon.
A personal driver guide means that you can watch the wildlife for as long as you want - and we certainly did. We saw hundreds of elephants in total but we could also just sit and observe their behaviour for hours if we wished.

In the beginning, we were a little concerned that Indigo Safaris' claimed expertise and super feedback might just be too good to be true.
I am happy to report that Indigo Safaris are exceptional and deserve their accolades and more. A wonderful experience worth every penny.

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.
