Madikwe Game Reserve South Africa

Indigo Safaris organised the perfect safari to Madikwe. Quick to respond and advise us on great options. They clearly know the area and the lodges very well.

Great knowledge

South Africa – Madikwe 4-night safari

We found Indigo Safaris after sending an enquiry through Safari Bookings. Lindie Janse Van Rensburg was our consultant. She made the whole process easy and was always prompt with replies to our questions. Absolute professional. Would highly recommend this tour company. Thank you so much, we had a fantastic time at Thakadu River Lodge in Madikwe game Reserve.

Helpful, easy to deal with

South Africa – 4-Day Madikwe Safari

Indigo Safaris was amazing in organising us the perfect safari and seamless transfer from Johannesburg to Madikwe. Lindie was always so quick to respond and advise us so I'd definitely recommend booking through Indigo Safaris. In terms of our Safari, the team at the lodge, accommodation, food and safari drives and guides were absolutely fantastic and the whole experience was definitely a highlight of our trip!

Amazing Safari experience and seamless organisation

South Africa: 19-day Cape Town, Garden Route & Madikwe Safari

This was my second trip through Indigo Safaris, after Papua New Guinea in August. It came about at the last minute as the coup in Madagascar cancelled a trip booked previously through another company. Christopher spring into action and put together a wonderful itinerary for a trip combining a self-drive along the Garden Route that was so much easier than I thought it would be, tours around Cape Town, and a safari to Madikwe before returning to the Cape.
The accommodations were excellent, and that was before we got an upgrade in Cape Town, the scenery so varied, and the wildlife stunning. I'm looking forward to seeing what can be put together for our next trip with more than one week's notice!

Absolutely fabulous

Greater Kruger and Lowveld Safari

I contacted indigo safari about having a few days in safari and they definitely didn't waist any time got right to work 😑
Shannon is amazing and she really did great a wonderful experience custom made just for us because I have a few medical issues she worked around it and she delivered the best experience for me and my wife...Needless to say we are already booking with her again and can't wait to see what she comes up with next a big thanks to Shannon

Nicolaas van den Berg
The best ever

South Africa – 9-day Greater Kruger Safari

Nelia at Indigo Safaris was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I'm usually the one who plans all of our family trips, so I know firsthand how much work it is. This time, I didn't have to lift a finger! She helped us figure out exactly what we wanted and then handled every detail, booking an incredible trip for us.

Everything worked like clockwork. The three lodges she booked were amazing, and all our transfers were perfectly pre-planned. I didn't need to worry about a thing or confirm a single detail. It was, without a doubt, the most stress-free travel experience I've ever had.
