Indigo Safaris 

Creating tailor-made trips designed to make your precious spare time the holiday of a lifetime has been Indigo Safaris' passion since 2009.

Indigo Safaris has specialised in safari, diving, trekking, and tribal trips for more than a decade. Set up and run by ex-Field Guide, Adventure Traveller, and Underwater Photojournalist Christopher Bartlett, the management team is completed by Ines Moosmann, a safari specialist with more than 16 years experience garnered in Germany and London.

We provide impartial expert advice

Our Managing Director is a qualified guide and tour leader with 15 years’ experience and has led tours all over southern and eastern Africa. Combined, our small sales team of four has over 50 years Africa expertise up their sleeves, and we keep learning, spending up to six months a year on the road, checking up on current suppliers and potential new ones. We have visited the vast majority of the properties we send our clients to have been to every reserve and national park we promote, with Malawi being the notable exception (where we work with a very experienced ground handler).

We’ve got your back

Our network of contacts and suppliers is well-nurtured, and we keep a close eye on the quality and value-for-money of services provided. On the rare accessions that an issue arises, no matter how small, we know who to call. In the event of a serious problem we can be contacted anytime from early morning to late evening, though an elephant emptying your splash pool at 1AM is best referred to the lodge staff, as are mysterious nocturnal noises outside your tent.

We love the destinations we promote

We are incredibly passionate about all of the places we work with, especially our core areas of Africa and Papua New Guinea; their wildlife, their people and cultures, their histories, and their current challenges. We are a socially and environmentally conscious company. We are involved in wildlife conversation, marine conservation, human development, educational, and humanitarian projects across the continent, giving back around 30% of our net profits to a range of organisations and sponsorship programs.
