Itinerary

Amboseli National Park, Kenya

Located in the southern reaches of Kenya, the Amboseli National Park is renowned for its excellent variety of wildlife such as Maasai giraffe, elephant, lion and cheetah and not surprisingly it is one of Kenya's most popular parks. The landscape of Amboseli is dominated by the majestic snowcap of Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as open plains, acacia woodland, swamps and the massif of Ol Doinyo Orok. The birding is excellent, especially closer to the lakes and swamps. The park is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to large herds of elephants among other wildlife species. Other attractions include opportunities to meet the Maasai people and soak up spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world.

Tsavo East National Park, Kenya

Separating northern and southern Kenya, Tsavo East National Park features bushy grasslands, open plains dotted with baobabs alternating with semi-arid acacia scrub and lush woodlands. The arid environment with its unique red earth creates spectacular photo opportunities. This park is home to some of the largest elephant and buffalo herds in Kenya. Tsavo East boasts rich biodiversity and is said to be one of the last remaining wildernesses. Visitors can enjoy many wonderful attractions including: Galana River and Lugard’s Falls; the magnificent Yatta Plateau; and Mudanda Rock, a natural viewpoint that overlooks a much visited and photographed drinking hole. The south of the park is busier, while north of Galana is a remarkably quiet wilderness where visitors can enjoy this unspoilt beauty.

Kenya – 4-Day Tsavo West, Amboseli & Tsavo East Safari

Indigo Safaris provided transportation from the Mombasa port to Amboseli and Tsavo parks for four days for our 20 year old children and four friends They saw so much wildlife. Douglas was an amazing guide. The luxury accommodations and food were excellent. It was an extraordinary lifetime experience for them. We cannot wait to go there next year with Indigo Safaris guiding our way to a Kenyan safaris. Thank you so much!

Extraordinary lifetime experience

Kenya – 4-day Maasai Mara Safari

Thanks to Indigo Safaris, my first safari experience was great !
I am so grateful for their warm, careful advice and services, with remote contact.
You dispelled all my anxiety about the remote communications and first safari adventure.
I am looking forward to have this company for my next adventure! surely!

Dreamy and wonderful safari experience

Kenya Bush and Beach

I worked with Matthew for over 18 months creating the Perfect Kenyan Safari + Chale Island Beach vacation for my husband and I. He was so very patient with me, answered every single question of mine (and there were a LOT of questions - as neither my husband nor I had ever been to Africa!), and gave us all the tips of traveling in Africa, where to go, where NOT to go - and worked with us in such a kind manner while also keeping our budget in mind. I would HIGHLY recommend Indigo Safaris as a tour operator to anyone that wants that Perfect experience in a different land, while also keeping us very safe as well!!!!

Carrie Anne and Mark
Perfect Experience

Emily First Kenya Safari

Kerry was incredible, truly! This was our first trip to Kenya and our first Safari and Kerry listened to what we wanted, made great suggestions and planned a fantastic holiday - thank you Kerry! Fantastic trip, great itinerary, 3 mini safaris within one seeing Amboseli, Laikipia and Mara. The organisation was seamless.

Emily Burns
Incredible, truly!

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.

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.
