Perfect 2-week elephant safari to Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo East by Indigo Safaris!
Desperate to be back on safari ASAP after lockdown and with the keywords of elephants, Amboseli, tented camps and driver guide, we asked Indigo Safaris to propose a Kenyan safari for 6 weeks time in June 2022.
2 emails and a day later we had our dream 14-day itinerary from the highly proficient and cheery Kerry, detailing extensive safaris in Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo East. Sadly, we had to postpone twice to October but Kerry dealt with our rebooking, questions and prevarications with a smile and speedy efficiency. Thanks, Kerry, you're amazing.
Kerry organised everything perfectly, from the remarkable local driver guide Daniel of Explorer Kenya to the choice of locations and accommodation (for details see www.tripadvisor.com/Profile/138kevanw).
The safari destinations were wonderful in every way, although the mass migration had left us behind by October. A short stopover between the national parks was at Lake Naivasha, including a boat ride and walking with the animals, and a guided bike ride and hike through Hell's canyon.
Highly recommended are the Enkorok Mara Camp, in the Masai run by the exceptional and helpful Faith, and the Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp with stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, probably the best situated camp ever.
A personal driver guide means that you can watch the wildlife for as long as you want - and we certainly did. We saw hundreds of elephants in total but we could also just sit and observe their behaviour for hours if we wished.
In the beginning, we were a little concerned that Indigo Safaris' claimed expertise and super feedback might just be too good to be true.
I am happy to report that Kerry and Indigo Safaris are exceptional and deserve their accolades and more. A wonderful experience worth every penny.
We are still thrilling to this latest time in Africa, months later, with its marvellous people, scenery and wildlife.
We will be going back again soon - and always with Indigo Safaris!

Very responsive and organised, with great local partner
Kerry from Indigo Safaris was super responsive from the very start (and in fact, one of the reasons we decided to go with them). She was always open to exploring different options in terms of budget and our focus/ interests rather than trying to sell any one standard package to us. Even during the trip she kept checking in on us, which was great.
Their local partners Chameleon Safaris were also great with great guides and superb organisation. Everything was per itinerary - no nasty surprises or downers or hidden costs, and everyone was great at communicating well in advance and managing expectations.
This was our first group tour experience (where someone else had planned for us) and so we were slightly nervous, but all our nervousness vanished in the first couple of days because of high level of organisation and clear communication.
I’d recommend Indigo and Chameleon. Our Namibia trip was a mix of lodges and camps and we wanted to cover as much as possible in 9 days and so a bit on the expensive side but I’m sure they could work with you to find the most suitable option!

Our five day Botswana and Zimbabwe Safari and Tour was magical and exceeded all expectations. The safaris were excellent with a huge variety of excursions and animals, accommodation and food were brilliant.
Everything about the trip exceeded expectations. Thanks Ines and Indigo.

The safari with Douglas as a guide to Amboselli and Tsavo east and west was amazing.
Safari bookings provided transportation from the Mombasa port to Amboselli and Tsavo parks for four days with Douglas as their guide for our 20 year old children and four friends They saw so much wildlife. Douglas was an amazing guide. The luxury accommodations and food were excellent. It was an extraordinary lifetime experience for them. We can’t wait to go there next year with safaris bookings guiding our way to a Kenyan safaris. Thank you so much!

Lindie The Superstar!
Lindie who is one of the reps from Indigo organised our entire holiday even with late notice and low availability. We made a custom trip to our budget and gave her a list of things we wanted to cover on our trip. We fulfilled all our best experiences and we have already recommended Lindie and her company to multiple family and friends back home

The tour operator was knowledgeable, flexible and fun-loving
The tour was organized by Kerry Wyatt who was fantastic in her ability to respond to our requests and needs, recommend the best and value-for-money tours and accommodation, to match our expectations with what her tour company had to offer! She was also a great advisor on all things South African, on organizing travel itinerary even outside the Safari program and generally provided the most useful gateway for the first-time tourists to Africa. Her company, Indigo Safari, should be proud of having Kerry on its staff.
Indigo Safari operates in the vicinity of Hoedspruit on private game reserves and also on Kruger National Park. The personnel is very friendly, responsive to some extra requests and willing to help - with accommodation and other needs. The rangers are knowledgeable and fun, take all actions to show the tourists as much of nature incl animals as they possibly can while providing advice and guidance on safety. This is their common attitude adopted uniformly on the lodge and out on tours. I recommend Indigo Safaris for a great African experience to anyone.
