About Kenya
Kenya is generally considered the birthplace of the African safari. It is majestic Africa, offering immensely diverse scenery – from the palm-fringed beaches of the Indian Ocean in the East to rainforests in the West, immense fresh water lakes, desert landscapes and vast plains of savannah. All this is dominated by the Great Rift Valley which bisects the country from North to South and in the centre are the highlands, overlooked by Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Mountain range.
Culturally, Kenya is as diverse and home to many different ethnic groups. They range from the Swahili on the East Coast where Arabic culture has had the greatest influence in shaping Swahili traditions to the pastoralist Masai and Samburu, the El Molo fisherman along the shores of Lake Turkana and the agricultural Kikuyu of the central highlands. This Eastafrican country, however, is ultimately renowned as a premier wildlife destination and you do not have to travel far from its capital Nairobi to see wildlife here.
The world famous Maasai Mara in the South West, is a mere 4 hours’ drive and 45 minutes flight from Nairobi. It is here that the legendary annual Wildebeest migration of up to 2 million Wildebeest and Zebra arrive around August, from the Serengeti plains in neighbouring Tanzania. They stay here for a couple of months, generally until mid-October when they begin their journey south to Tanzania and fresh new grasslands after the rain has fallen.
But it is not all about the migration. Kenya, with its abundant wildlife in its many and diverse game areas offers the most memorable and spectacular wildlife encounters, from lions & leopards hunting antelope on the plains of the game rich Maasai Mara to elephants drinking at waterholes in Tsavo; Grevy's zebra, the long-necked gerenuk, Beisa oryx, the striking reticulated giraffe in the arid country of Laikipia, Samburu and Shaba; Amboseli with its picture postcard back-drop of Mount Kilimanjaro; the shimmering waters of the Rift Valley Lakes, at certain times of the year, home to millions of pink-hued flamingos and Lake Turkana with massive Nile crocodiles breeding in its waters.
The main ports of entry are Lusaka and Livingstone international airport, from where you will be transferred by road or light aircraft to the individual destinations.
Indigo Safaris
Scuba specialist Indigo Safaris has a wide range of off-the-shelf and tailor-made dive trips in Mozambique as well as island stays with some excellent deals.
A small, owner-operated company promoting ethical tourism with a strong focus on conservation and two decades of experience, we know the best accommodation in each area and price range. We have explored the length of Mozambique's coast and its archipelagos.
About Mozambique
Mozambique is an exceptional destination for beaches, island paradise, and scuba diving along more than 2000 km of almost unspoilt coastline. We have our focus on beach and dive stays in this beautiful country.
As already mentioned, Mozambique's never ending and totally unspoiled coastline is stunning and there a few nice places to stay and enjoy it from on the mainland. However, the focus for beach stays in Mozambique lies on the Archipelagos, which are the Bazaruto Archipelago just off the cost of Vilanculos in the south and the Qurimba Archipelago of the coast of Pemba in the north.
In addition to the Archipelagos there are few more places to highlight, like the Machangulo Peninsular which can be reached from Maputo and is an easy accessible and affordable option, plus a few places around Ponta do Oura, located right at the border with South Africa, which is a good place to look at for a beach extension after a safari in South Africas Kwazulu Natal region.
Another great spot that is often overlooked is the lively town of Tofo in the south. Tofo is however most suitable for a more active beach stay, so for someone who would like to dive or surf as well and who also wants some options to go out in the evening.
There are three main airports that serve the areas mentioned. Maupto, the capital city located in the very south of the country, Vilanculos, the gateway for the Bazaruto Archipelago and at the moment also for Tofo and Pemba, the gateway for the Quirimbas. Most flights will go via Johannesburg. The south of Mozambique can also be reached by road from South Africa.

About Tanzania
With over 38% of its territory declared national park, game reserve, or conservation area land, Tanzania is home to some of the best game-viewing parks in Africa.
In the north there is the legendary Ngorongoro Crater and it's 30,000 hooved mammals, the Serengeti's amazing migration of around two million wildebeest, zebra, Grant's and Thomson's gazelles, to the lesser known, nearby parks of picturesque Tarangire National Park with its annual elephant migration in the dry season, and Lake Manyara National Park with it's birdlife, tree-climbing lions and elephants.
In the south there are the giant Selous Game Reserve, Nyerere National Park and Ruaha National Park.
In the west Katavi National Park is almost never visited despite plentiful lions and huge buffalo and hippo herds, and Mahale Mountains National Park offers what it probably the best primate encounter going.
As well as safaris, Northern Tanzania also has some world-class treks: with some excellent less-used routes up the well-known and popular (possibly too popular) Mount Kilimanjaro to the roof of Africa at Uhuru peak, some 5895 metres above sea level, and the lower (4566 metres) but steeper Mount Meru. In addition to all this, we can also organise trips or donkey treks to across the Ngorongoro highlands to Empakai Crater and through the Rift Valley to Lake Natron.
And then there are the stunning, exotic Tanzanian Indian Ocean Islands, just off the coast of Tanzania, which are fantastic for beach extensions after your safari, as well as for stand alone beach holidays combined with cultural explorations, snorkelling and diving.
