Indigo Safaris

Indigo Safaris has specialised in safari, diving, trekking, and tribal trips for over 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 16 years’ experience garnered in Germany and London.

Ines was poached from a prestigious London travel company in 2016 where she was Senior Africa Travel Consultant. Ines has an in-depth knowledge of Africa garnered over 16 years in travel and tourism, and Papua New Guinea, and experience in Indonesia, The Philippines, The Maldives, India and Australia too. German is her mother tongue, and she is a qualified yoga teacher to boot. She is now our Director of Sales and Product. Christopher speaks fluent French, dodgy Spanish, smatterings of Swahili and Dutch.

Matthew O’Brien joined us in 2019. Formerly a guide in Namibia and Botswana, and native to South Africa, his southern Africa safari knowledge is exemplary. Matthew loves to write and share his passion in his contact with clients. Since joining us, Matthew has arranged hundreds of trips for our clients across southern and eastern Africa, to much acclaim.

Kerry is the latest addition to our team and is based in Cape Town, South Africa. With five years’ experience guiding in South Africa and Namibia, and then further afield to Kenya, and then 16 years creating itineraries across the southern and eastern parts of the continent, Kerry’s product knowledge is extensive, to say the least. Allied to her attention to detail, her passion for designing guests’ itineraries that exceed clients’ expectations and keep them coming back to Africa is a great benefit to us and our customers.

In October 2022, our team grew again, when Lindie Janse van Rensberg, a native of the Eastern Cape, South Africa, joined us, adding her 25 years’ travel industry experience and knowledge to our pot. Lindie is really clued up on southern Africa, with extensive, in-depth information on South African reserves, lodges, and logistics. She has a huge passion for the continent and its people and loves showing off its natural and unique beauty and considers it a privilege to make people’s travel dreams come true. When not working, you will find her travelling, spending time with family or volunteering at an animal rescue centre.
