Outstanding- knowledgeable, supportive and thorough!
Absolutely amazing working with Kerry from Indigo Safaris to book my first Safari. She worked within my estimated budget to find the best possible options, provided very valuable advice for traveling in South Africa overall, and made for a completely seamless, stress-free trip. I had the trip of a lifetime and couldn’t be happier! I will most definitely be coming back to Kerry in the future 😁

Amazing experience
We had an amazing experience in South Africa with Indigo Safaris. Everything was organized very well, and our organizer Matthew responded very quickly to questions we had before booking. Can definitely recommend!

Chamelion is well organised with good equipment and Gideon was an excellent guide, driver, and cook.
Mathew was very efficient, understanding and quick to respond.
Namibia is a very young and interesting country. It seems to be well governed and at peace with itself. They also speak English, drive on the left, watch plenty of football, and rugby is a national sport.
The tour or safari took us North to Etosha National Park, West to the Skeleton coast and South to the giant dunes. About 2000 km of driving in 6 days. Everything went to plan. A lot of good tar road, but also plenty of 'African massage' on dirt tracks. We saw around 20 different mammals including lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe and rhino. Plenty of birds too.
The accommodation was good, particularly in the lodges where air conditioning was a blessing. Chamelion backpackers lodge in Windhoek was fun and very adequate. Food was good, and I was lucky to have great companions from USA, Singapore, New Zealand, Spain, Denmark and Japan. Gideon our guide, was excellent and very caring. I am 86 and probably the oldest visitor he has had to cope with!
All in all it was a great experience and good value for money.

Highly recommend Indigo Safaris. Inis was helped and knowledgeable throughout :-)
We booked an amazing 2 weeks in South Africa through Indigo Safaris after getting quotes from a few operators. Inis was extremely helpful throughout the process as we made amendments to our itinerary until we were finally happy. Her responses were quick, polite and professional and her suggestions were excellent. The trip itself was incredible and we were so glad we chose to book through Indigo Safaris. We would definitely use them again.

Great customer support
Due to conflicting dates, we did not end up going through Indigo Safaris because we tagged along friends who had already organised one. HOWEVER, Kerry offered fantastic support and insights throughout the quoting process and was really kind and understanding when we mentioned we were no longer pursuing the Safari. Thank you very much!

Patient and helpful
My husband and I booked a 5 day Safari to Timbavati nr the Kruger Park in South Africa with Indigo. Ines, the person at Indigo who made the booking for us, was extremely patient with all our questions, and as well as arranging the safari itself, she booked our flights from Cape Town to Hoedspruit and from Hoedspruit to Johannesburg. Everything went smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
I would definitely recommend Indigo Safaris and Ines in particular.

A brilliant way to discover Africa
Matthew was an excellent communicator, without being pushy. His arrangements were detailed and precise. Our driver was excellent, happy to chat and answer questions but also happy just to let us marvel at the scenery and all transfers were on time and easy. Our stay at rhino ridge was wonderful, and a wonderful introduction to African animals.

Probably the best journey I've ever taken in my life!
First, the Chobe River Lodge was absolutely incredible. Very beautiful, luxurious, comfortable, clean, amazing location, amazing cuisine. By far, though, the service at the lodge was sublime. The staff was absolutely incredible. To say this place was amazing would be an understatement.
Next, all of the excursions were amazing. We saw SOOO many animals! I could not believe how many species of animals there were in the Chobe River Park! And the landscape and views in that part of Botswana (Kasane) were just incredible. And the guides were absolutely incredible. Very knowledgeable of the zoology, biology and history.
And Matthew at Indigo Safaris did an INCREDIBLE job booking my journey. Absolutely everything went according to plan. The booking process, including the itinerary, information, payment process and logistics all went smoothly. Everything went according to plan. And I truly appreciate him working with me to customize the tour with an add-on excursion to Victoria Falls. That too went completely to plan.
I would absolutely use Indigo Safaris AND the Chobe River Lodge again, and would recommend both to any of my friends or colleagues who are considering travel to Africa.

Trip of a Lifetime
Liked the personal touch, not just e-mails but also an introductory phone call which gave opportunity to ask questions. October is a good time of year to visit, no insects, and not too hot. Seeing all these amazing animals in the wild, close up, was truly magnificent. The lodges we stayed in were comfortable, not luxurious but homely and the staff were lovely. The food was simple tasty homemade fare and there was a bar for drinks in each site. The bush barbeque was very atmospheric, especially when a hyena came near. All organisation was very smooth safari is not cheap but the cost was reasonable.

The best choice for a trip to Africa
My wife and I came back from Africa with the best impression we could have about our agency. Indigo Safaris provided a super high level experience in terms of service, lodges, transfers and everything. I found them on line and for sure we were sort of worried about if they exist or not, if all was real or fake. I believe this completely understandable once we never know what can happen nowadays. But I really hope this message I leave here right now let people travel and buy their services in a more relaxed way.
They were amazing and all of this was personalised by Kerry Wyatt. She was just the best! Amazing services, everything super outstanding from the first contact to other demands through the process until the end! Everything was perfect and we had the best time we could have in Botswana! We fell in love for the place! Kerry has maden our dream comes true for real!
We really appreciate her services!! Awesome!
