Amazing underwater Safari Komodo
We where on a longer trip and had plans to go to Komodo, but did not really know what the options are and what the best thing would be for us. We contacted Indigo Safari and Chris did an outstanding job describing the various options which helped us to take our decisions. He was very patient with us (we did not always had Internet access and let him wait somethimes). We ended up chartering a small liveaboard for a very comprehensive price, and had an excellent time diving some of the best spots in Komodo, including the somethimes difficult areas in the nord. Finally we booked a week in Ambon to get started with Muck diving, and we loved it.
Chris has very good ideas and is able to book you into spots that are not available through a normal travel agency.

9 day Photographic Safari taking in three Nature Parks in South Tanzania organised and led by Chris.
This was a very intensive safari through 3 of Tanzania's Nature Parks at the end of the dry season led by Christopher Bartlett, who was a fountain of knowledge. I have only just got around to viewing some of the many stunning photographs obtained despite being a novice using a new and unfamiliar camera, I am very grateful to Christopher for his help and advice in this respect.
This tour was organised on a very tight budget so the accommodation was basic but adequate - quite an experience to have Elephants and other animals walking past the door in the middle of the night!
A very memorable experience and having now recovered, would very much like to go on another one!
Highly recommended.

An excellent experience!
Chris from Indigo Safaris was very prompt in returning emails and calls from us prior to booking on the trip despite him being all over the globe at the time! We were very happy with our decision to book 3 trips through him for Papua New Guinea. The Goroka Show was well organized with smooth transfers. The accommodation couldn't have been better as we were next to the venue and he was always happy to organize transportation into town or to eat out for those who weren't eating at the accommodation. He also set us up with a week diving in at the Walindi resort in New Britain which is an absolutely amazing facility we would highly recommend. Finally, our trip to the Sepik river, was certainly memorable. Although remote, we were well taken care of with freshly cooked meals and bedding and mosquito nets each night despite being in the middle of no where! We met some amazing people and were amazed at the artwork and spirit houses we were able to see along the way. I would happily go on another trip with Indigo Safaris as it was a great experience!

Namibia
I've booked three safaris with Indigo (Zanzibar, Tanzania (Tarangire and Lake Manyara), and now, Zanzibar. It's always an excellent experience and always, comparably, priced at a reasonable rate. This time, I went to Namibia with a partner safari organisation that Indigo arranged and the experience was amazing. I didn't have to worry about anything, the trip was awesome, and I loved every minute of it. I could never afford expensive safaris and Chris makes safaris in various countries in Africa possible without worrying about extortionate expenses. I'm impressed and will continue to recommend and use him.

A once in a lifetime holiday
Thanks for organizing this amazing trip! Dinner at Emerson Spice was exceptional. Pemba very personal and friendly. Safari was perfect. Nice and knowledgeable guide, marvellous lodges, and the animals were our friends. We could take some exceptional pictures. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, ...... everybody was around, and paid us a visit just beside our car.

Wonderful Service & Holiday
The trip was amazing! Thank You so much for you help!!! From the initial planning to the end, it was easy and efficient with Chris. We loved it.
Unfortunately no bait balls or much action at all down in Port St. Johns. The diving at Aliwoal Shoal was great though, and we enjoyed the time with the whales and dolphins.
The SAFARI however was INCREDIBLE!!!! The lodge was spectacular and we saw everything we hoped to see and more... the best part of the trip for sure.. Amazing place!
We got heaps of great photos and endless memories :-)
We had so much fun and already ready to go away again...hahaha
So happy we found your website as your knowledge helped us plan a trip we'll never forget.. Would recommend your service to friends and family, and already thinking about our next trip.

Really being in Africa
For the beginning of 2012 we had signed up for a trip through Botswana and Namibia with Indigo Safaris. We were thoroughly satisfied with the way everything was organised and with what we saw and there is very little we can add to the laudatory enthusiasm of the other reviews, but we particularly and unforgettably remember - from Namibia - the long, steep sweaty climb in the deep, hot, sifting, flowing sand of the dark-orange dunes, and driving up the long, dry, sandy bed of the Hoanib River in its remote valley and, sitting still in the infinitely silent midday heat under the endless deep blue sky, watching a group of dusty desert elephants clustered around their young ones, lazily fanning their ears as they eyed us from under a spreading canopy of acacias.
Christopher Bartlett knows Africa well, is a very competent and resourceful guide and inspires total confidence. Do not hesitate. No problem with the five stars.
