Very good
Thank you !
The camp was incredible and the people were very kind.
Matthew from Indigo safari was extremely responsive, thanks again!
The only drawback was the "walking safari" which was not a safari but a walk in the forest with a guide, although nice and being a source of knowledge, made a "show" reserved for tourists (or children) which did not particularly please us (nor the people present that day...) ... But it is quickly forgotten because everything else was perfect!

Amazing!
Well, where should I begin? We booked with Ines from Indigo Safaris. She did a great job and as some things didn’t work out at first step, she solved it out of her own holiday very quickly so we could enjoy every minute of our stay.
We had an incredible 8 night camping Safari, starting with 2 nights in Kasane, one night camping at chobe river front, followed by 2 nights camping in savuti and 2 nights camping in khwai before heading to Maun for one last night at the backpacker. The camp sites were wonderful, especially the one in khwai right next to the river, where a tall elephant came to the camp to great us. We have seen so many animals ( jackals, hyenas, leopard, wild cat, honey badger, hippos, Buffalo, giraffe….) in savuti we found even a pride of 15 Lions and followed them to the waterhole watching them drinking water and relaxing for a long time. The whole trip was great, the tents and bedding comfortable, the car spacious. But best of all was the crew. Joseph, our guide was unbelievable in reading body language of the animals and found so many interesting animals for us. He always gave lots of information about what we just saw - as well as about animals as vegetation. At the camp fire he was telling interesting stories about everything. We enjoyed every minute with him. Team-members were also Prince and System, travelling with a second car with the tents and kitchen stuff - always a bit ahead so everything was prepared when we arrived after the Safari at the camp. Prince the Chef - what he did over camp fire I can‘t do at home in this quality. Pizza, bread, spaghetti, meat, salad - everything was delicious! They got up really early in the morning to prepare breakfast and even the salads for lunch when we had whole day trips. Don’t know when they found time to sleep. System took care of everything at the camp and the atmosphere between all of them was so good, we felt really comfortable.
Spending the nights in a tent in the wilderness, hearing all the different sound was so exiting! For us, it was the best experience ever. The only bad thing, we only booked those 8 nights - it should have been much longer! So if you get the chance to go to Botswana doing a Safari, choose a camping one and try to get such a great team as we had. Thanx Joseph, Prince and System for this wonderful journey!

Best experience of my life
My boyfriend and I chose the 4 day Selous Safari and we couldn't have had better. The whole experience was mindblowing, we saw so many animals: lions, monkeys, impalas, elephants, giraffes and so many more! The lodge was super cute and very comfortable, the food was delicious and our hosts made us feel at home. I highly recommend Safari Bookings for unforgettable moments and unique activities

Easy communication and fantastic experiences
The trip was great! It was a really good experience and I really enjoyed all aspects of the trip. The guide, Tulimo, was fantastic and I couldn’t recommend him enough. There were only two other guests on the tour, but he made sure that it was always a lot of fun, and had a lot of interesting knowledge. The accommodation was also all fantastic, no complaints at all in that regard. The Hoada Campsite on Day 5 was switched for another one, but the switched camp site was probably the best of them all! All the experiences were highly enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed climbing the dunes in the desert. In Swakopmund I did both the skydiving and sand boarding, which were a lot of fun, (but cost extra, although very worth it!). Overall though, it was a fantastic trip and very good value for money too. Thank you very much for organising it! I even got home in time to avoid the hotel quarantine, which caused a lot of stress!

The tour operator was very quick, accurate and helpful
The Baobab Ridge provides nice bungalos even for families of 5 persons ( 2 adults and 3 kids ) the pool area is beautiful and one can easily watch animals directly from the pool

Excellent communication and availability
The overall trip went very well. Matthew was extremely helpful and responsive. He gave advices on a lot of things even on covid tests which made the organisation of my trip easier. I was travelling in 5 different countries (Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia) and I had quite tight number of days and specific wishes, I booked Namibia and SA with Indigo Safari and Ines then Matthew were of very good advices and came with nice suggestions and my trip went better then planned even though it is covid period. I would definitely recommend!

Excellent from start to finish
We booked this last minute and it exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed on arrival and the staff were all friendly throughout our stay. The accommodation in tents was very comfortable and well equipped. The food was of a consistently high standard.
The safari's themselves were excellent with plenty of animals to see and the guides knowledgeable and friendly.

Perfect tour, awsome guide, very nice accomodations
Very nice and informative information before booking the tour.
3 day trip from Mobasa to Tsabo East and West was great, our guide found every animal, and was doing extra rounds to search for them. He was amazing!
Accomodations were also very nice. So all in one a perfect trip, worth every cent!

Amazing experience
I had a very specific and last minute safari request across northern Botswana and Matt at Indigo Safaris did an amazing job accommodating my budget and timeline. My experience was perfect and Matt was very organized and reachable, planning my safari on very short notice. Absolutely would recommend Indigo Safaris!!
Fantastic - tailor holidays to cater for all and considerate and responsive
Really wonderful service. Spent time talking through what we’d like and provided a variety of detailed options to consider. Fast and responsive in securing bookings and reassuring and helpful with COVID advice. Excellent communication throughout entire process from before booking to end of holiday. Will definitely be using again.
