We booked accommodation for a 4-day Garden Route drive from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth as well as a 3-day safari in the Eastern Cape (Pumba Reserve) with Indigo Safaris. We had a wonderful trip - accommodation was all top-notch, transfers extremely smooth, the welcome and customer service at each location fantastic - and we couldn't be happier with the service that Matthew at Indigo Safaris provi ...

Communication with Ines from the start was excellent - we had a call to go through requirements, budget and potential itinerary. She continued to make adjustments to the itinerary throughout - adding in options that were more or less costly depending on our preferences.
On the tour itself, all transfers were seamless and on time.
The only feedback area for the team is to not charge a booking ... Read morefee for card transactions.
Namibia has been on my bucket list for years. My girlfriend and I were planning a trip this summer and we were looking for a tour that would cover many of Namibia's highlights (Etosha, Skeleton Coast / Swakopmund, Sossusvlei, etc). I'm very thankful we worked with Indigo and specifically Ines. We ended up going with a 6 day wildlife & dunes tour which hit everything we wanted to see & more, was af ...

Ines was super responsive and helpful throughout the booking process. Definitely recommend working with Indigo if you plan on visiting Namibia!
Booked a safari at Rhino Ridge just before the world closed down for Covid.
The ever helpful Ines kept the booking 'live' until the lifting of restrictions allowed us to travel. We were kept updated throughout the 2 years before we were able to actually travel. In the period leading up to our safari, Indigo provided all the details we needed to help make our safari the adventure of a life-time ... Read more.

I have just returned from a dual location safari (Botswana & Zimbabwe) having taken two young children (8 & 11) plus 2 pensioners. You can find cheaper options...but this also has a price! This was a thoroughly professional and well organised schedule with excellent personalised support throughout. Ines was super helpful with suggestions and input. Hotels were brilliant, staff phenomenal and the e ... Read morentire trip super smooth with every detail considered. I would not hesitate to use again.
Once more Indigo Safaris make our safari a great experience. Thanks Ines for all your suport and advices. Definitive I will come back with you when I return to Africa.
Our safari trip was a success. The kids loved it and everything that indigo safaris organised went smoothly. Good value for money, wonderful guides faithful transfer from and to airport, wonderful lodges (specially Antrim villa, in Cape Town, very cosy and comfortable and with a wonderful breakfast and lunch menu, lokuthula lodge in Vitoria falls and worming welcome kubo lodges in kasane, that p ...

The game drives were great (Kalahari tours) We saw the animals in a magnificente environment. The staff was very helpful and dedicated, we felt welcome everywhere.
The flights were our responsability. We had problems with Botswana air company that canceled our flight and budget air that postponed it for a week. On the other hand emirates we’re amazing and air link a very good regional flight company. After the cancellation of flight from kasane indigo safaris helped us to catch the plane from Victoria falls providing the transfer from kasane to Victoria falls airport.
Our safari was in Tsavo East and West with Explorer Kenya. It was truly amazing. Everything was taken care of. Our guide/driver picked us up from a very different location than normal and was even early! We were able to see every animal we wished to see, even the rare black rhino. The places we stayed were great.
A truly memorable experience. Kerry, who helped us book, did a wonderful job commun ... Read moreicating.
We are avid travelers and this was the best trip ever. I highly recommend Matthew Obrien. The trip exceeded our expectations and we would use safari bookings again in a heartbeat. Thanks again
I booked our safari trip to South Africa from here. Matthew was the one I was in communication with. He gives accurate description/detailed of everything, he response quickly and does his best for anything you ask. I highly highly recommend to book your trip thru this company.
