Indigo Safari's Specialist Matthew Milward was professional, knowledgeable, responsive and friendly.
Matthew listened carefully to our needs and arranged for us to have a four day safari experience at Umkumbe Bush Lodge, on the Sabie Reserve, South Africa. Well done! This was a perfect match; we had wanted a smaller intimate family owned lodge.
Flight and transfer - The small Airlink plane from Cape Town to Nelspruit was on time and transfer to the lodge by the Oribis company driver was friendly and efficient.
Lodge - We found Umkumbe Bush Lodge well managed. Knowledgeable staff presented us with a warm welcome. They demonstrated a strong sense of teamwork; their schedules ran like a clock. We loved the Honeymoon suite. Located at the end of the property, it was quiet, luxurious and we saw impala, zebras, in the adjacent field and a curious baboon at the tent door. We made full use of the plunge pool. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding was soft high quality cotton. We appreciated the AC during the hottest parts of the day. All the meals were creative and delicious. The common areas were just as well appointed as our tent. We socialized easily with other guests. We left the main pool to younger guests who wanted to fry in the sun on off-drive hours.
Game Drives - Our guide, Peter, was fabulous - friendly, knowledgeable, very open to questions, and had a great sense of humour. We saw tons of animals. I wanted to see a rhino - we saw lots, including a couple who had recently had a run-in with a hippo and stomped and strutted in front of us, not wanting to give us the road. There were either only four or six of us on the safari vehicle on all drives; everyone had an excellent view. This safari was truly a memorable experience. Thank you Matthew and Indigo Safaris!

Makes everything for you to get the best out of your adventure!
I went on a 4 day Soussusvlei and Swakopmund tour and it was absolutely amazing. The contact with Indigo Safaris, in my case Michele, was excellent and she did absolutely everything to make the trip as memorable as I wished for.
When in Swakopmund I suggest you do the 4X4 wheel on the sand dunes in Sandwich Harbour which is the Namibia you´ve probably seen on pictures, where the dunes meets the ocean. Don´t miss this!
Travelling from Swakopmund to Sossusvlei was an adventure itself with the changing landscape along the road.
Also the guide we had, Kennedy, was great and a very good and safe driver.
I definitely recommend this tour and Indigo Safaris!

Brilliant service from Shannon at Indigo Safaris
Shannon from Indigo Safaris did an excellent job of arranging my safari in South Africa - even with my last-minute change of plans! She listened to our requirements and recommended the perfect lodge for us - which met our needs and much, much more. Shannon was a pleasure to communicate with and was very knowledgeable about the region and the lodges. Indigo Safaris is great value for money but you feel like you are getting a luxury service. Very reliable, very communicative, had absolutely no problems at all. Definitely would recommend these guys if you are planning a safari! We had the best time :-)

Tour Guide
I must mention that a big part of our tour experience was Kennedy, the tour guide, who provided an exceptional package from his driving, his knowledge of all types of historical and scientific aspects (very well trained). He gave us a tour to remember and was of the perfect temperament for his role.

Very grateful for them to finding the amazing trip for me
I am very grateful to Shannon for her personalized approach - she found the best matching Namibian tour for me, and I was impressed with the quality of the tour, accommodations and food. The itinerary was perfect. And it must also add that our guide was the most knowledgeable humble amazing person.

Listened to our requirements, tailored a flexible solution to meet our needs & always on hand
Indigo Safaris and Michele Addison delivered the best trip we could have imagined. Namibia was on our bucket list and clearly a step into the unknown. There are many travel companies offering tailored safari packages but from my initial enquiry Michele listened, advised & adjusted the itinerary to meet our needs. Michele then provionally booked all the accommodation and vehicle rental - she was able to send a detailed PDF itinerary with insightful descriptions of key places to visit and accommodation. The plan worked like clockwork - starting and finishing at the same lovely guesthouse in Windhoek which was a nice way to round off the trip! Michele was always on hand via email and WhatsApp with rapid response to enquiries we made whilst travelling around. Namibia is an absolutely lovely country with so much to offer with wonderful people - we believe that Indigo Safaris and Michele's expert knowledge and advice helped maximise our 9 day self drive accommodated trip around the country.

Safari was efficiently and professionally organised without issues.
Indigo Safaris acted as agent for Chameleon Safaris in Namibia and Bushways Safari in Botswana. Both Safaris were fantastic and represented true value for money. Communication was excellent with Indigo and the comprehensive itinerary provided by them was excellent. Both Safaris were camping, with Botswana only having bush ablutions. The food on both was really good camp food well prepared and plentiful. The guides were incredible insofar as their knowledge and spotting abilities. All equipment was clean and functional.
