Absolutely fabulous trip!
I've been on one safari before (Tanzania), which was organised locally and was so so. The trip with Indigo Safaris however completely lived up to my expectations. I intentionally didn't want a "mass market" trip and that's exactly what i got. Christopher paid a lot of attention to making sure all seven of his guest's requirements were catered for before and during the trip and that we got on together (in a small group this could have been a real problem). The trip was organised to a very high standard, using excellent equipment and wasn't at all mass market: our itinerary fitted in an excellent selection of game spotting opportunities, some cultural moments (with a real sense of a relationship between Indigo and the tribes we met) and a lot of fun! I will certainly be going on other trips organised by Indigo and i'm telling all my friends about them, if only so other people can share Christopher's recipe for "plains game bolognese" :D. Overall a fabulous trip and one i'll remember for many years to come!

Unique experience with the amazing wildlife, scenery and interacting with the local people
Communications were very prompt and good, price was reasonable. The tour itself was amazing; the scenery, wildlife and the remoteness and uniqueness of some of the campsites contributed to this. However the best thing about the company was the staff in the field- they were very knowledgeable, friendly and prepared to do their utmost to ensure that your experience was the best you could possibly have. Cosmos the driver/guide and Paul the chef were excellent examples of this.

We spent 4 amazing days doing the Panorama route and kruger safari
Everything went well. Very nice and comfortable accomodation, always punctual. Our guide Nik was very friendly and knowledgable. We saw all big five and many more animals!
I'm very pleased with the service Wildlife safari provides! Thank you for everything, I definitely recommend it.

The Wisdom of Animals
Christopher Bartlett with 7 passengers in 2 4WD's drove to excellent spots for viewing animals in their natural habitat, the amazing arid zones of the Namib. At night we often camped in wondrous solitude with stars and sort animal sounds for company. His cooking was superb and photography tips forever of value.
an incredible number of hippos and up close
Katavi is a wonderful Place of the World, with many Animals.
We drive in the Park in the dry Time, the Natur is then not so green, but the Animals are then watch masse. We look on the Game Drive Lions in the starting phase on the hunting, directly Elephant on the Road and masses of other Animals. The most impressiv experience was the many Hippos, the Hippos urge in the last Water in the Park.
I would return in any case again to Katavi.

We loved our safari!
Our guide was super hospitable with our group. We saw lots of animals, had good food, and stayed in a camp with tents. The owner of the camp was very nice and helpful to us. Made us feel so welcome.
The only thing that marred our trip was that outside the park, a car in front of us hit a giraffe. The driver and tour operator were concerned for the animal, who was wobbling on broken legs by the roadsied. They contacted authorities and kept tabs on the aftermath. It is important to be with people who do their work with heart and care about the animals.

My Solo trip to South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe
Mark met me at the airport in Johannesburg & got me on my flight to Cape Town. My guides were greatFrom a wonderful time in and around Cape Town, including the wine country, a national park, the Cape. Then I wended my escorted way, staying overnight at a lovely inn, to Port Elizabeth. I went to an ostrich farm, petted young cheetahs; then to Johannesburg and Soweto and then on to 3 fabulous camps in Botswana and an excursion to Zimbabee and the falls. No problem traveling alone as my arrivals, departures and plans were all anticipated and well executed!

Review about Lake Mburo National Park by Lim Poh Bee, Singapore
Was the best of the already excellent nature parks we visited. Birds were easy to spot. Animals were plenty. Every thing was well organised. Our night drive was excellent!

Gorillas and Birding with Avian Safaris at Bwindi
It was fantastic. Very well organised. A great balance between getting us the best views/interaction with the gorillas and the gorilla's welfare and status as wild animals.
Birding was a bit tough cos the birds tended to stay at the canopys but still not too bad. If someone could have controlled the rain it would be fantastic but as it is it wasn't too bad!
