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!

Amazing Tanzania safari
Our recent 5-day safari with Mikini Safari was nothing short of spectacular! From the very beginning, Mikini’s team made sure every detail was taken care of, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations.
The entire journey was perfectly planned, and we were fortunate enough to witness the stunning wildlife of Tanzania up close. Every day brought something new and exciting!

Amazing
My trip to Kenya using Kwezi Safaris was an amazing experience. We had 94 people in our group/ 15 Safari jeeps . The trip was run smoothly , and all the drivers were informative , professional , friendly and patient with any and all questions we had . I felt the respect that the drivers had for the animals and gave them space . I felt safe everywhere we went . I would highly recommend Kwezi 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!

A well organised, great trip!
Besides our trip to the Kilimanjaro, we also booked the safari (3 days, 2 nights) with this company. We had contact with Mohammed through WhatsApp before departure, which was great! He was very helpful and answering all our questions.
We (a group of 4 friends from the Netherlands) were picked up early in the morning by our guide Josef. A very friendly guide with a good sense of humor.
He drove us to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater and there we have learned a lot about the environment and all the animals and birds we saw. Josef knows so much!
Josef is a good spotter, he knows were to go and made sure we saw all of the big 5. Josef is definitely not a quitter; he keeps looking for new animals (sometimes long after we were ready to give up, because our eyes were tired 😅).
We slept in tents on campsites which was a great experience. The food from Collins and the other chef was amazing!
We had a great time and like the trekking; we will never forget this. Thank you so much!

Benji is the best!!
We were blown away by the Tanzanian jungle with Benji by our side, showing us the best it had to offer and explaining the habita of all the animals. He made besties with our 9 year old daughter, playing and singing with her whenever we stopped for a break - even teaching her to take professional photos with his massive camera (he later also shared all photos with us, which gave us an unexpected treasure of national-geopgraphic-like personal memories!). He was also one of the few guides to speak Spanish fluently, which helped us a lot since my wife is Spanish. I can't recommend this provider enough, you will not get disappointed!

Excellent Private Safari Tour
Mateo Travel and Adventure organized an excellent private tour for us. The communication with Patrick was reliable, quick and transparent always reassuring us about our decision.
The value for money was one of the best we saw and despite its relatively low price, the quality of the tour was excellent. We had nice stays, great car for the safari and Gordon, our driver had 10+ years of experience. He always knew the best spots and timing, so we could see the big 5 during our first 2 days (of 4).
We totally recommend this reliable and affordable company, you wont be disappointed.

Incredible Experience
Our 10-day familiarization trip to Rwanda, organized by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and facilitated by Shalom Safaris, was an unforgettable experience, and one that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we could feel the trust and confidence RDB placed in Shalom Safaris to provide a world-class experience for us as travel professionals. Their attention to detail, hospitality, and professionalism were evident throughout the entire journey.
A key part of our exceptional experience was the remarkable driver-guide, Mico. RDB had clearly chosen the right person to guide us through Rwanda’s most breathtaking landscapes and cultural treasures. Mico's knowledge of the country’s history, wildlife, and vibrant culture was incredibly thorough, but it was his passion for Rwanda that truly set him apart. He wasn’t just a driver; he was a dedicated ambassador for both Rwanda and Shalom Safaris, sharing captivating stories, engaging with us on every level, and ensuring that we experienced the very best that the country had to offer.
Beyond his impressive expertise, Mico’s hospitality was second to none. He made sure we were comfortable, safe, and well-informed throughout the trip. His thoughtful approach helped us understand how to best present Rwanda as a travel destination to our clients. Mico's insights into the logistics of Rwanda's tourism infrastructure, as well as his firsthand experiences with Rwanda's wildlife and communities, were invaluable. His knowledge helped us develop a deeper understanding of how to sell the destination authentically and enthusiastically to our clients.
The partnership between Shalom Safaris and the Rwanda Development Board truly made this trip a success. With Mico at the helm, we experienced Rwanda in a way that will stay with us for years to come. Shalom Safaris, backed by RDB’s trust, provided an outstanding itinerary, exceptional service, and an experience that surpassed all expectations. We are now more than ever eager to recommend Rwanda as a top travel destination to our clients, confident that we can sell it with genuine passion and understanding, thanks to the invaluable experience facilitated by Shalom Safaris.
