Your Adventure, Your Way
Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters for Independent Explorers.
Picture yourself alone in nature, with only the whisper of the wind, the distant roar of a lion, and the rhythmic drumming of your heartbeat as a leopard slips through golden grass. A solo safari is not just a journey through Africa’s wild places—it’s a personal odyssey of discovery, confidence, and connection. Whether you’re seeking solitude or the thrill of meeting like-minded adventurers, Indigo Safaris offers bespoke experiences tailored to your independence.

Best Time to Visit
Go When the Wild is at Its Best—and the Crowds are Not
The best time for a solo safari depends on where you go and what you want to see. Luckily, with our regional knowledge, we’ll place you in the right spot at the right time for meaningful, crowd-free experiences.
- 🐾 June to October – Peak Wildlife Season
-
This dry season is ideal across much of Southern and East Africa. Wildlife is easier to spot, the skies are clear, and camps are buzzing with shared energy—perfect for solo travellers joining small groups.
- 🐾 April to May – Quiet, Beautiful, and Budget-Friendly
-
Green season safaris offer excellent value and fewer visitors. It’s a peaceful time to travel solo, with dramatic scenery, baby animals, and immersive experiences.
- 🐾 November to March – Summer Exploration
-
Ideal for Southern Africa, this period includes the lush summer months—great for birding, underwater visibility on marine safaris, and visiting malaria-free reserves.
- 🐾 Year-Round Options
-
Thanks to Africa’s varied ecosystems, we can design unforgettable solo trips in every month of the year—from gorilla trekking to desert adventures in Namibia.

Travel That Connects More Than Just Destinations
At Indigo Safaris, we believe solo travel is as much about connection as it is about independence. Every itinerary we craft supports local communities, conservation efforts, and eco-conscious lodges that are deeply rooted in their landscapes.
By travelling solo with us, you support initiatives that protect endangered species, train future guides, and uplift rural communities. Many of the lodges we work with are community-owned or directly reinvest in local education, healthcare, and sustainable development. Whether you’re sharing stories with your guide, visiting a local village, or simply choosing a lodge with a purpose, your presence contributes to something far greater than a holiday.
Because when you travel with intention—even alone—you leave behind something meaningful.
