Why choose one country when you can experience the best of several?

These journeys are expertly curated to capture Africa’s full range of wild beauty and cultural richness, with seamless logistics and handpicked lodges that make every transition feel effortless. One trip, countless memories.

Why Choose a Multi-Country Safari with Indigo Safaris?
An Unforgettable Tapestry of Experiences
Imagine beginning your adventure on the arid salt pans of Botswana, then drifting down the lush waterways of the Okavango Delta, before ending your journey with the thundering spectacle of Victoria Falls. Or perhaps tracking gorillas in Uganda before heading south to the iconic plains of the Serengeti and ending with beach bliss on Zanzibar’s coral-fringed shores.

What to Expect on a Multi-Country Safari
One Journey, Endless Horizons
A Multi-Country Safari is your passport to Africa’s remarkable diversity—all wrapped into one seamless, unforgettable adventure. From the great open plains of East Africa to the floodplains of the Okavango Delta and the desert dunes of Namibia, every stop offers something new—wildlife, culture, and landscapes that shift with every border you cross.
These journeys are thoughtfully designed to eliminate travel hassles while maximising variety, comfort, and impact. With expert guides and carefully timed routes, you’ll explore iconic regions at just the right moment—without ever feeling rushed.
- 🐾 Iconic Wildlife in Every Country
-
Track the Big Five in the Serengeti or Kruger, witness the Great Migration in Kenya or Tanzania, and watch herds gather at waterholes in Botswana’s dry season—all in one itinerary.
- 🐾 Immersive and Varied Activities
-
Mix it up with open 4x4 game drives, mokoro rides through flooded channels, guided bush walks, and cultural encounters with Maasai, Himba, or San communities.
- 🐾 Breathtaking Landscapes That Constantly Change
-
From the misty volcanoes of Rwanda to the salt pans of Makgadikgadi and the red dunes of Sossusvlei, no two days look or feel the same.
- 🐾 Effortless Transitions Between Destinations
-
Seamless border crossings, scenic flights, and overland routes make country-hopping efficient and comfortable—so you can focus on the experience, not the logistics.
- 🐾 Handpicked Stays with a Sense of Place
-
Stay in a variety of lodges and camps that reflect the character of each region—luxurious, eco-conscious, and ideally located for game viewing and exploration.
Best Time to Visit
When to Safari Across Borders
The beauty of a Multi-Country Safari lies in its flexibility—different regions shine at different times. With the right planning, you can follow the wildlife and weather across borders for the best possible safari experience. Here’s how to time your adventure:
- 🐾 June to October – Peak Wildlife Viewing
-
This dry season window is ideal for combining East and Southern Africa. The Great Migration is in full swing in the Serengeti and Maasai Mara, while Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia offer clear skies and concentrated wildlife at water sources.
- 🐾 January to March – Summer in the South
-
A fantastic time to focus on Southern Africa. While East Africa sees short rains, South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe offer excellent safari conditions with warm weather—perfect for beach and safari combos too.
- 🐾 November to December – Green Season Magic
-
The start of the rains brings fresh grass, dramatic skies, and newborn wildlife. It’s a quieter, more affordable time to travel with excellent photography conditions in East Africa and rewarding game viewing in Botswana and Zambia.
- 🐾 Year-Round in Carefully Paired Regions
-
With expert route planning, there’s always a way to create a memorable journey no matter the month. Some parks shine in the green season, others peak during the dry—our specialists ensure you’re in the right place at the right time.
Plan With Confidence – Know Before You Go
-
Yes, each country has its own visa requirements. However, in some regions (like the KAZA Univisa for Zambia/Zimbabwe), one visa may cover multiple countries. Indigo Safaris will guide you through the process to ensure smooth entry.
-
- Lightweight, breathable, neutral-coloured clothing
- Warm layer for mornings and evenings
- Sunhat, sunglasses, and strong SPF
- Hiking boots or comfortable closed shoes
- Binoculars and a good camera
- Power bank, headlamp, insect repellent
- Soft-sided bags (especially for overland trucks)
-
In most areas, we recommend drinking bottled or filtered water, which is readily provided at all lodges and camps.
-
Malaria is present in several safari areas. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider for prophylaxis and using mosquito repellent and bed nets where provided.
-
Expect Type C, D, G, or M plugs depending on the country. Most lodges offer adaptors and charging stations. Power outages are rare but possible in remote camps.
-
Wi-Fi is available in most lodges, though often limited in speed and coverage. Consider it a digital detox and immerse yourself in the wild.
-
Most safaris require minimal fitness as travel is done by vehicle or plane. Gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda requires a moderate level of fitness due to the terrain.
-
Yes, all border crossings in our itineraries are pre-arranged and facilitated by our partners. We ensure transitions are smooth and stress-free.
Your Journey Makes a Difference
At Indigo Safaris, we believe that travel should be a force for good—not only for the traveller, but for the places and people that make each journey extraordinary. That’s why we work with lodges, camps, and community initiatives that are deeply committed to conservation and responsible tourism.
When you travel with us, your safari helps protect endangered species and preserve critical habitats, from rhino sanctuaries in Namibia to marine protected areas in Mozambique. Many of our partners support anti-poaching efforts, wildlife monitoring, and habitat rehabilitation—ensuring that Africa’s iconic wildlife remains for future generations.
Beyond wildlife, your journey also uplifts local communities. We support projects that provide employment, education, and healthcare in rural areas, and work closely with community-owned conservancies where tourism revenue directly benefits local families. Whether it’s funding scholarships, supporting women’s cooperatives, or training future guides, your adventure creates meaningful impact far beyond the game drive.
Travel with Indigo Safaris isn’t just about seeing the wild—it’s about protecting it. Together, we help keep Africa wild, thriving, and deeply connected to those who call it home.
