Indigo Safaris - Dives, Tribes, Treks, and Wildlife​

SAFARI AND Diving expertise

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

Indigo Safaris has specialised in safari, diving, trekking, and tribal trips for almost a decade. Set up and run by ex-Field Guide and Underwater Photojournalist Christopher Bartlett, the team is completed by Ines Moosmann, a safari specialist with 11 years' experience garnered in Germany and London, poached from a prestigious London travel company where she was Senior Africa Travel Consultant. Ines has an in-depth knowledge of Africa, Papua New Guinea, and experience in India and Australia too, has German as her mother tongue, and is a qualified yoga teacher to boot. She is our Sales and Product Manager.

Corinne Bly joined the team from a leading but ageist South African Tour Operator. Despite her years, her fire still burns bright, her knowledge is of reserves and places to stay is incredible, and she speaks English, French, Dutch, and Flemish.

Our first-hand knowledge
Having lived in, worked in, and travelled around southern and eastern Africa, Oceania, Indonesia, and South America Christopher has considerable first-hand knowledge of the destinations we send clients to. Travelling independently and working on assignments, he has stayed in a wide variety of accommodation and creates trips to suit most requirements. The lodges, hotels, dive centres, safari, trek, and vehicle hire companies we use have been tried, tested, and approved. All our providers are members of their respective country's tourism organisations. ​
Our story
Indigo Safaris are experts in bespoke and package travel in Africa. Founder Christopher Bartlett fell in love with Africa on a trip to Namibia in 1997 and after numerous visits to southern Africa moved to KwaZulu Natal in 2005 and became a safari field guide and underwater guide. When he combined these two new passions with his photography and writing skills and started doing assignments in east Africa for diving magazines, he had a great opportunity to continue building his destination knowledge.

In 2009 he had to return to the UK for family reasons, and ended up combining his knowledge and love of Africa and organisational skills to help other people discover Africa. Indigo Safaris was born. In 2015, Christopher met Ines on an educational in Uganda, and recognized the consummate professional in her, and asked her to become his Senior Safari Consultant. They now live together too. Ines has worked in the travel and safari business for over a decade and is an amazing source of knowledge on lodges and camps. She has an in-depth knowledge of Africa, Papua New Guinea, and experience in India and Australia too. In February 2018, she took on the role of Safari Sales Manager. 

In February 2018, Corinne joined the Africa sales team. With over 30 years professional experience in travel, including 21 in African travel, mostly at a leading South African tour operator where she rose to a management position,  she has all the knowledge and know-how to make the most amazing itineraries. Based in KwaZulu-Natal, she works with Ines to make your safari dreams come true. 


 In 2013 Christopher met Scelo on a walking safari in Zululand, and a friendship was forged. It's become a "brother from another mother" kind of thing. Scelo now looks after our KwaZulu-Natal logistics. Scelo is one of the top guides in his native KwaZulu-Natal and is one of the best guides Christopher has ever walked with. 

Our man on the ground in Mozambique is Antonio, whom Christopher befriended in 2004 when Antonio was an enterprising 13-year-old. He is now a great dive guide, our go-to guy in Tofo, and sales and marketing assistant.

In Namibia, Tulimo is our driver-guide for our private guided safari clients. A charming young man of many talents, Tulimo is also a great bush cook and braaimaster.

Christopher's guided trips
If you choose to travel with Christopher (a keen animal and marine conservationist as well as a well-published photojournalist), you’ll be sure to pick up a tip or two to improve your photography, and get an insight into the local way of life. He speaks fluent English and French, gets by in Spanish, has a smattering of Swahili, and knows some rude words in Dutch and Afrikaans. He also passed the Field Guides’ Association of South Africa’s exam with 134.5 out of 135. His work has been published around the globe since 2007, and he has dozen cover shots to his name. 
​
Several times a year Christopher and Ines lead trips, combining their local knowledge and destination management skills, happily sharing his photographic knowledge and yoga sessions if that floats your boat. Speaking of boats, Christopher also runs underwater photography workshops. Send an email to find out more.

Get your macro geek on in the Philippines, a critter heaven, but with excellent whale shark opportunities too. Or just relax and discover the beautiful scenery of of some of the 7,000 plus islands in this tropical paradise.

Philanthropy
At the more remote destinations we work with, we have become involved with helping out communities in one form or another, beyond helping create stable employment for locals. Giving back is a huge part of what we do and what we are about. Our view is that tourism isn't just about having a good time in someone else's country, it's about learning, fostering understanding, concern, and compassion. The natural world has never been as threatened as it is now and it is everyone's responsibility to do something about preserving it. 
We choose suppliers and service providers that act responsibly, with the best interests of the local people and wildlife at heart, who we think will do the best job of providing our clients with a insight into not only the beauty they witness on holiday, but the threats and dangers facing it. 
We put our money where our mouth is. Around 30% of our net profit is given back to causes, charities, and organisations. We also fund raise and provide grey matter for certain projects. More information can be found here.
