Solo Travelers

Traveling alone can be one of the most rewarding ways to experience Africa. With no one else's schedule to follow, you can linger at a sighting, say yes to an invitation and follow your curiosity wherever it leads. People often open up more readily to someone on their own: guides share more, hosts invite you to join the conversation, and fellow guests become friends around the campfire.

Independent, not alone

A tailor-made trip gives you the freedom of independent travel with a safety net. We plan every transfer and airport welcome, choose places to stay where solo guests feel at home, and give you clear contacts for every stop, so there's always someone local to call.

Great places to start

For a first solo trip, destinations with good infrastructure and a strong culture of hospitality are ideal. A safari in Kenya or Tanzania is naturally sociable: many camps seat guests together at dinner, and shared game drives can keep costs down. South Africa pairs Cape Town's easygoing city life with the Winelands and Kruger.

Rwanda is compact and widely regarded as very safe, with mountain gorillas as an unforgettable highlight. Morocco rewards the curious with medinas, mountains and desert, and a good local guide makes all the difference.

Solo travel and costs

Many hotels and camps charge a single supplement, but some reduce or waive it in quieter months, and a few offer rooms designed for one. We'll look for those options, suggest shared activities that lower costs without compromising your experience, and be clear about exactly what's included.

Traveling as a woman alone

Women traveling solo can explore Africa with confidence when the planning is right. We're happy to share practical advice on dress, etiquette and getting around at each stop, and to choose guides, drivers and neighborhoods with your comfort in mind.

Whatever your style, our Kenya Safari Adventure and Morocco Medina + Desert journeys are great starting points, and every journey is customizable.
