“We had a great experience with Indigo Safari. Everything was perfect. Ines was so kind and always so quick to respond to all our questions and concerns… I do recommend Indigo Safari: amazing service…”
Tanzania – Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater Safari
Our safari in Tanzania was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived at Serengeti National Park, everything was fantastic — the camp was perfect, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The warm welcome, enthusiasm, attention, and constant smiles from everyone made our stay even more special.
At Tarangire, we once again enjoyed excellent service, a beautiful tent, and wonderful hospitality. Everything was perfectly organized. We were still delighted with our stay and overall experience.
From start to finish, the trip went smoothly and was perfectly managed. For a first safari in Tanzania, it was an incredible success. Thank you, Christopher, and the entire team for making this such a memorable adventure!
17-Day Northern Tanzania Safari Expedition with Zanzibar Beach Break
Some days passed since we got back to Argentina. We just wanted to thank you for your support and assistance in our trip to Tanzania, which was an incredible experience for us as a family, one of the most beautiful trips we made by far! Send our regards to Christopher as well please. Hope we can plan a trip again soon!

We had a a great time! This was our first family safari, and it really hit the spot. The planning was thorough and detailed, and the choice of camps and hotel perfect. All the transfers worked seamlessly, and Christopher found us places to stay that we would not have found on our own. Thank you so much.
Tanzania – 7-day Taste of the North Safari
Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire combined Safari
Dickson our driver is a true gentleman and has been driving Safari trips for over 20 years. His knowledge about animals and the Reserves is hard gained and invaluable.
Other Safari drivers acknowledged him everywhere we went and it is obvious he is well respected. The descent into the crater is steep and takes driving skills. We again saw a lot of wildlife within the crater. The lodge at Tarangire is to die for. Wow the views worth the whole safari trip.Would I book with Indigo Safaris again. 110%. Another country and another experience.
