Impressive ! Kudos to Kerry from Indigo Safari !
We had our family trip to South Africa in Jan 2023 which was so impeccably planned by Kerry Watt with months of discussion and changes to the very close of the trip. Kerry was very professional in managing our expectation and accommodating to heaps of changes that we made. Kerry, we love your patience and cheerfulness in doing all of these changes with a big smile....so amazing!
The whole trip was well designed with care and consideration for the young and the old for the excitement and the relaxation to enjoy the journey. We enjoyed the beautiful Hermanus beach hike and fabulous scenery (wish we had taken Kerry's advice to stay extra day to enjoy more) and the awesome safari experience at the fabulous Kapama Game Reserve Resort and we were so pampered by the service team as well that we did not want to leave the resort so soon! Not forgetting...the beautiful Cape Town, winelands tours, Graskop tours & etc. All in all, we had a fantastic time in South Africa...kudos to Kerry for orchestrating this whole trip so thoughtfully !
I had already recommended my friends back in Asia to make a trip to South Africa and insisted that they should sign up with Indigo Safaris!!

Excellent two weeks trip in South Africa
My family of 5 had just completed a two week trip in South Africa, organized by Kerry from Indigo Safaris.
A few things that I find impressive of Indigo Safaris:
-The trip was very well organized. Everything went smooth and there were no delays.
-Kerry was prompt in our communications back and forth, despite us having about 80 emails by the end of the trip!
-Kerry was very flexible in planning the tour itinerary, we had lots of changes before and even during the trip, and it was not an issue. Kerry made sure to explore all options in order to suit our preference the best.
-The costs were transparent and well-communicated during our discussions. No hidden fees or surprises.

Perfect 2-week elephant safari to Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo East by Indigo Safaris!
Desperate to be back on safari ASAP after lockdown and with the keywords of elephants, Amboseli, tented camps and driver guide, we asked Indigo Safaris to propose a Kenyan safari for 6 weeks time in June 2022.
2 emails and a day later we had our dream 14-day itinerary from the highly proficient and cheery Kerry, detailing extensive safaris in Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo East. Sadly, we had to postpone twice to October but Kerry dealt with our rebooking, questions and prevarications with a smile and speedy efficiency. Thanks, Kerry, you're amazing.
Kerry organised everything perfectly, from the remarkable local driver guide Daniel of Explorer Kenya to the choice of locations and accommodation (for details see www.tripadvisor.com/Profile/138kevanw).
The safari destinations were wonderful in every way, although the mass migration had left us behind by October. A short stopover between the national parks was at Lake Naivasha, including a boat ride and walking with the animals, and a guided bike ride and hike through Hell's canyon.
Highly recommended are the Enkorok Mara Camp, in the Masai run by the exceptional and helpful Faith, and the Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp with stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, probably the best situated camp ever.
A personal driver guide means that you can watch the wildlife for as long as you want - and we certainly did. We saw hundreds of elephants in total but we could also just sit and observe their behaviour for hours if we wished.
In the beginning, we were a little concerned that Indigo Safaris' claimed expertise and super feedback might just be too good to be true.
I am happy to report that Kerry and Indigo Safaris are exceptional and deserve their accolades and more. A wonderful experience worth every penny.
We are still thrilling to this latest time in Africa, months later, with its marvellous people, scenery and wildlife.
We will be going back again soon - and always with Indigo Safaris!

Very responsive and organised, with great local partner
Kerry from Indigo Safaris was super responsive from the very start (and in fact, one of the reasons we decided to go with them). She was always open to exploring different options in terms of budget and our focus/ interests rather than trying to sell any one standard package to us. Even during the trip she kept checking in on us, which was great.
Their local partners Chameleon Safaris were also great with great guides and superb organisation. Everything was per itinerary - no nasty surprises or downers or hidden costs, and everyone was great at communicating well in advance and managing expectations.
This was our first group tour experience (where someone else had planned for us) and so we were slightly nervous, but all our nervousness vanished in the first couple of days because of high level of organisation and clear communication.
I’d recommend Indigo and Chameleon. Our Namibia trip was a mix of lodges and camps and we wanted to cover as much as possible in 9 days and so a bit on the expensive side but I’m sure they could work with you to find the most suitable option!

Outstanding
Our five day Botswana and Zimbabwe Safari and Tour was magical and exceeded all expectations. The safaris were excellent with a huge variety of excursions and animals, accommodation and food were brilliant.
Everything about the trip exceeded expectations. Thanks Ines and Indigo.

The safari with Douglas as a guide to Amboselli and Tsavo east and west was amazing.
Safari bookings provided transportation from the Mombasa port to Amboselli and Tsavo parks for four days with Douglas as their guide for our 20 year old children and four friends They saw so much wildlife. Douglas was an amazing guide. The luxury accommodations and food were excellent. It was an extraordinary lifetime experience for them. We can’t wait to go there next year with safaris bookings guiding our way to a Kenyan safaris. Thank you so much!

Lindie The Superstar!
Lindie who is one of the reps from Indigo organised our entire holiday even with late notice and low availability. We made a custom trip to our budget and gave her a list of things we wanted to cover on our trip. We fulfilled all our best experiences and we have already recommended Lindie and her company to multiple family and friends back home
