What an amazing trip with private trip Uganda, the company with best tour guides, the so called Karim.
Managed to travel to Bwindi for my vacation and the trip was amazing.

Fantastic value for money - very reliable company, very helpful and responsive company owner. 10/10
Fantastic experience. We've booked 6 days 5 nights join-in camping safari: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Everything went as planned. Owner of the company, Emanuel, was very responsive to all our emails and questions prior to booking, also kept in touch just before our arrival to Tanzania to check if everything is ok. Emanuel also picked us from the airport and checked in a hotel we had included in our booking (also - we've received a free upgrade to a much better hotel than the one we were supposed to stay originally!). After safari Emanuel met up with us again to ask about our experience and then drove us to the airport morning of the next day, again by himself. We can definitely recommend Emanuel and his company as reliable and caring.
As for the safari experience itself – I’m not going to go into details of what we saw, because it’s too amazing to describe! Enough to say we’ve seen almost 50 different species of mammals, reptiles and big birds, not even trying to count smaller and less known species of birds as it was probably over a hundred. We slept first two nights in a village close to Manyara lake (fenced area with tents and a bathroom). We were just two in the car for these first two days (Tarangire and Lake Manyara), then 4 other people joined us for Serengeti and Ngorongoro with a bigger car and a different guide. Both guides had an impressive knowledge of all the animals and were really good at tracking them. They were able to get us very close to the animals, yet they still were able to maintain respect for the animals wellbeing and avoided disturbing them even once. Camping areas in Serengeti and Ngorongoro are the best sleepovers we have ever had - this is milion times better than any hotel me - and you, whoever is reading this - had ever stayed in. You can't get any closer to the nature - do not book any lodged safaris, camping is absolutely essential to get fully immersed in Serengeti and Ngorongoro experience.
One more word of praise to our guide in Serengeti – one of the other groups car broke down in the middle of nowhere. Sure, our guide could have said it’s not his problem – but instead, he towed them over away from group of lions and closer to service sites, saving other group of tourists some stress and time. Really glad to see the guides helping each other!
If you are worried about the food during safari - don't be! Our chef was amazing. The quality of food he was able to do in very limiting condition of field kitchen is really impressive - both meat and vegetarian dishes. The amount of food was usually sufficient for whole day (if you know you like to eat more - bring some energy bars or snacks for a time you're on a game drive).
Would we change anything in this trip? Probably not. Maybe just one tiny detail now: we had a great time on our day in Lake Manyara, really fun time, but if I were to go again I would trade Lake Manyara for another day in magical Serengeti or Ngorongoro. But that doesn't change a fact it was still a 10 out of 10 experience.

Incredibly helpful very organised - our trip went to plan without a hitch!
We wanted to have an adventurous safari honeymoon but without the stress of planning logistics. Indigo Safari’s were great in putting together a package that was perfect for us. During the trip we always felt we were in safe hands. All the connections went smoothly. The accommodation was always lovely and of course the safari itself was something we’ll never forget.

Perfect Safari from start to finish
We did an 8 day safari with Zohar in September and had an amazing time.
It started with perfect communication and planning, but didn’t end there. We had a super nice airport pickup, a perfect guide (thanks so much, Tom for making these days so much fun!), amazing lodges, food, company and stunning game drives.
A honeymoon that we will remember our whole life. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Uganda/Tanzania safari
Our safari in Uganda was a great experience thanks to our guide Nathan. He was very knowledgeable and considerate. We learned a lot from him while on our drives and even were able to try some of the local food. The cabins we stayed in were closer to being budget lodging I would say but it was nice meeting other tourists and backpackers. The gorilla trekking was an incredible experience.
We didn't get to experience much of the culture in Tanzania on the second leg of the trip given we were mainly in the national parks every day. I would recommend adding a couple days that include hiking or trekking because spending 4-5 days mainly sitting inside a car is way too much.
At the end of the trip we were taken to a large outdoor/indoor souvenir market that was literally 3x the cost of all subsequent souvenir shops we visited. Make sure not to waste your time in there.
The best part of the Tanzania trip was tracking the wildebeest migration and seeing the ngorongoro crater. Don't miss those.
