An Unforgettable Safari Experience - Thanks to Leon!
Our recent safari trip exceeded all expectations, and we owe much of that to Leon, our fantastic tour operator. From the initial planning stages to the last day of the trip, Leon’s attention to detail was outstanding. He took the time to understand our preferences, including dietary restrictions, and ensured that everything was perfectly tailored to our needs.
What made this trip even more special was that Leon didn't just plan it—he joined us! Along with another expert guide, the four of us set off on an unforgettable adventure. Having Leon there, sharing his knowledge and passion for the wildlife, made the experience all the more enriching.
The accommodation choices were another highlight. Leon curated a brilliant mix of lodges and tented camps, each offering unique charm and comfort. We felt immersed in the wild while still enjoying a high level of comfort. The routes and additional activities, like the hot air balloon safari, were perfectly aligned with our trip and gave us experiences that we’ll cherish forever.
This 5-day safari was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we can't thank Leon enough for making it all come together so seamlessly. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a safari experience that goes above and beyond.

positive and disappointing moments
We went on a 5-day safari in Kenya and overall our experience had both very positive and disappointing moments. Patrick helped us a lot with organizing the trip. He booked exactly the hotels we wanted and was extremely kind and patient while we were deciding. We told him precisely what we wanted to do and which routes we wanted to follow, and he did his best to accommodate our plans.
Unfortunately, the last day was very problematic. Our driver left us at a café for over an hour while the car was taken for inspection because we had a long distance to cover. After he finally picked us up and we had been driving for about 30 minutes, the car broke down right as we entered Tsavo National Park. We were stuck there for more than 6 hours, and as a result we lost the entire day. It became dark, and although we had paid the park entrance fee, we were unable to see anything inside the park. Since we were supposed to stay in Tsavo for only one day, this was very disappointing for us, as we had no time to explore it at all. In the end, we had to book an additional day, which cost us a significant extra amount of money, just so we could finally visit the park.
Despite Patrick’s excellent service and effort, the issues on the final day caused a lot of stress and disappointment and strongly affected what should have been one of the highlights of our trip.

Yvonne is very meticulous, caring and patient. She loves her job and does it exceptionally well.
Yvonne Kennedy organized and booked my trip to Mombasa. She presented me with several options within my budget and made recommendations based on my interests. She then booked the trip for me, taking into account my preferences. For example, I wanted a sea-facing room, and she specified the same when booking the hotel. She is always available on call in case of anything and keeps you in the loop throughout the arrangement process.
I took the trip for my birthday, and she liaised with the hotels I stayed at to surprise me, which made me feel very special. She checked in on me regularly as I was travelling alone and confirmed that everything met my expectations. She also recommended activities to do and restaurants/places to visit.
I cannot wait for my next trip. African Challenge Safaris gives you the true vacation experience.

This was the trip of a lifetime and Claire from Off2Africa Travel made it happen. Not only did we see some of natures most incredible wonders, but we experience it with comfort, excellent service and with great food. Claire was amazing in ensuring the trip exceeded our expectations and was flexible when we asked for changes. Well done to Claire and Off2Africa travel!

A lifelong memory provider!
Taufique was an exeptional guide and even more so, an exeptional person. We left Rwanda and Golden Rwanda Safaris with wonderful memories that we will carry with us for life now. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge, your love of life and the epic landscapes of your beautiful country. We have learned so much more than just a safari tour and we will remember you always.
We highly recommend going with their safari tours. Taufique had made sure we got the absoulte most from the excursion and they clearly take huge pride in providing a comfortable experience. From first impression to the last, every detail is taken care of to provide a first class service. We could not have hoped for better! We truly hope our paths will cross again in the future.

Very knowledgable, supportive and great service to give us a trip of a lifetime!
Shannon was our main contact at Indigo Safaris. She was very personable and supportive from the initial contact all the way through the booking process, safari options and choices, support during the trip (including one minor panic when an international flight connection was changed!) to the end of the trip itself.
We undertook a multi-location tour include Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and then back to Namibia for a family of 5 with older teenage and adult children.
The trip itinerary was complete from the time we arrived at Windhoek airport in Namibia all the way through to the time we left to return home. We had a day-by-day specialised itinerary with regular contact with Shannon during the trip to manage internal safari transfers.
Shannon even gave us first hand experience of one of the Safari lodges as she visited it a few weeks before our trip and sent us photos.
Overall I would highly recommend Indigo Safaris.
