Basecamp Masai Mara
Day 1 - 4
Basecamp Masai Mara offers 23 spacious and luxurious Double Riverside Tents, including two Family Riverside Tents, perfect for families traveling with children.
Day 1
Day Notes:
Your safari starts with a highlight, taking you straight from the busy city of Nairobi to one of the greatest wildlife destinations on earth: the Masai Mara. After a short briefing about your upcoming safari it is time to head west in your 4×4 Land Cruiser. When city dwellings change into acacias and shrubs, you know you are driving deeper into Masai land.
In the afternoon, you embark on your first game drive around the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Look out for lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes and many other species you expect to see on a safari. Your safari guide will share many interesting facts about wildlife and the Mara ecosystem. You will be surprised how much you will see and learn on only your first day of your safari. When the shadows grow longer, you will make your way to your home for the next three nights, the Base Camp Masai Mara at the banks of the Talek River.

Day 2 - 3
Day Notes:
Enjoy a whole day of game drives in the magnificent Masai Mara. If you visit the Mara during the Great Migration, stop at the Mara River to witness – with a bit of luck – a river-crossing of wildebeest and zebras, as they swim through the crocodile-infested waters. The Masai Mara is a stunning wildlife destination year-round and any month of the year you can encounter the Big Five and many more. The wind in your hair, take in the vast plains and the breath-taking scenery around you.
You will stay another night at the Base Camp Masai Mara, just outside the game reserve. Since animals don’t mind borders, you should look out for wildlife around camp while you enjoy a sundowner before dinner.

Naivasha, Kenya
-
Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort
Day 4 - 5
Naivasha is a Masai name given to the area, denoting the characteristics of the lake.
Day 4
Day Notes:
Leaving the Masai Mara region behind, you head to Lake Naivasha, Kenya’s flower-capital and one of the few fresh-water lakes in the Great Rift Valley. Arriving at your home for the night on the shores of the lake around lunch time, you can enjoy the afternoon at your own leisure.
Book a boat trip on the lake to spot some of the 500 bird species, take a walk across the lodge’s grounds or spend the day by the swimming pool and relax with a good book. It’s time to slow down and take a rest ahead of your next safari experiences.

Additional amenities include a swimming pool, a sun terrace, parking and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Day 5
Day Notes:
Energised from yesterday’s rest, you head towards Amboseli. Passing the Ngong Mountains on your way, you drive south towards the Tanzanian border where you will find Amboseli, home to large elephant herds. If the weather permits, you will be rewarded for the long drive with a breath-taking view of a lifetime: Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro and its snow-capped Uhuru Peak can be spotted in the distance while elephants walk majestically amongst acacia trees.
Your home for the next two nights is the Elerai Camp, located in a private conservancy just south of the park. Watch wildlife at the camp’s own waterhole or enjoy the views of Kilimanjaro from the swimming pool.

Day 6
Day Notes:
Today, you will have ample time to explore Amboseli National Park on full-day game drives. While a dry and hot climate dominates the region, Kilimanjaro’s melting snow peaks turn Amboseli into a green oasis in the rainy season. Follow elephant herds and together with your safari guide study their highly developed social behaviour. Along the way, you can spot many more animal species such as cheetahs, wildebeest, zebras and waterbucks. Enjoy the unique moments and take time to appreciate your surroundings. After an exciting day in nature, you will return to Elerai Camp for the night.

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.
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.
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!!!!
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.
Jean 11-day Botswana & Victoria Falls Zimbabwe Value-For-Money Safari – Private fly-in
Matt at Indigo Safaris arranged a fantastic trip for us! He was so helpful; willing to investigate every crazy request and answer every question :)
We experienced a wide range of habitats, from delta to desert, and saw the Big 5 plus so much more. A highlight of the trip was something we’d never heard of until Matt suggested it - a night sleeping under the African sky on an open 2-story platform, alongside a waterhole visited by lions, elephants, and other wild creatures throughout the night. The stars were absolutely magical!
All the internal flights arrived like clockwork. We were delighted with the intimate “mid-range” camps we chose with Matt’s advice. Each of them was very comfortable, employed lovely staff, offered good food, and had prompt laundry service. One of the best features of our trip was having close-up encounters with elephants and other animals as they roamed through these small camps.
We followed up our adventure with a stay at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, and it was the perfect touch of luxury after our time in the bush.
We’ve enjoyed previous safaris in Tanzania, Kenya, and the Pantanal Wetlands of Brazil, and we were delighted that Matt and Indigo were able to provide such a totally different experience for us. Would love to work with them again someday!
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.
