South Luangwa and Livingstone
Chris created great trip that suited my budget perfectly. The photography opportunities were fantastic, and Flat Dogs camp was great.
Zambia – South Luangwa and Livingstone
I had such a great time on this trip. The South Luangwa wildlife is stunning, and Victoria Falls so impressive. Indigo Safaris organised a perfect tour.
South Laungwa Safari, Zambia
What a wonderful country and people, and the wildlife is stunning. Chris set up a great tour to South Luangwa national park, and topped it off with two memorable days at Victoria Falls.
Sabi Sand, Botswana, and Zimbabwe Safari
Our tour was booked through Indigo Safaris and Christopher Bartlett. Every connection his company made for us was perfect and went off without a problem as we started in South Africa at Sabi Sands and traveled through Zimbabwe before arriving in Botswana. We highly, highly recommend Indigo Safaris.
This was my first visit to Africa and we will return in June 2025. Thank you so much, and thank you for supporting nature and the local communities.
Southern Africa Safari: Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kruger
We just returned to the States after a safari in Southern Africa and Botswana and I wanted to say how pleased we were with the camps we stayed in: Meno a Kwena, Mokolwane, and Hyena Pan. The camps and guides were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and welcoming. We are nature lovers first and when our group had a safari vehicle to ourselves, the guides and camps were willing to make lunch for us and stay out all day. This was the absolute best and we had a blast photographing and observing.
Tanzania – 10-day Selous & Ruaha Safari – Private Fly-in
For my first-time safari experience in Tanzania, I could not have chosen a more professional and yet friendly travel agent to work with. Ines Moosman with Indigo Safaris, covered all areas of fly-in safari life, and explained in detail every aspect of my travel requirements and experience. Ines also quickly responded to my questions, and explained how my choices would affect my travel--something that was particularly important for a first-time solo traveler. Thanks to Ines and Indigo Safari's efforts, it looks like I may be rearranging my future trips list, and taking a look at Botswana next after all.
Excellent game drives with knowledgeable guides in both Rufiji River Camp in Selous (Nyerere National Park ) and Ruaha River Lodge in Ruaha National Park. I can't say enough about the attentive camp managers, comfortable accommodations and exceptional food in both camps.
