What people love about touring Africa solo
- Queen Isis Egypt Tour – Women Only (No Single Supplement)
Dear Walaa, I just wanted to write and thank you. Our trip to Egypt was fantastic thanks to your help in organizing and the wonderful staff that you have working with you. As we only had a short period of time and requested a very packed itinerary our trip could have been very stressful if it had not be planned so well. We were greeted both in Cairo, Aswan and in Luxor by very helpful individuals to assist with our travel and checking in and the guides provided by Vacations to go travel were both very friendly and informative and definitely made the trip one to remember. I would definitely recommend your company to any friends or family wishing to travel to Egypt. Thank you very much for your help! Kind Regards, Kristen Frame

Great range of experiences and accommodation
- Botswana and Falls Overland: Wildlife Walks & Safari Drives
Had a really fantastic time on this G Adventures tour. Vitalis and Judah were both excellent - always happy to help, answer any questions and educate us on the places we were visiting. The food was great and the tents were spacious and we had comfortable sleeping mats. The truck even had air conditioning which was a pleasant surprise. Absolutely loved the wild camping in the Okavango Delta - a real highlight! Thank you G Adventures!
What our customers ask about Africa Tours for Solo Travelers
Which areas of Africa are most suitable for first-time solo travelers?
Southern Africa's well-developed tourism networks make Botswana Namibia and South Africa natural choices for first-time solo visitors. The route from Cape Town to Victoria Falls serves as a reliable introduction with convenient stops at Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta. South Africa's Kruger National Park region welcomes solo travelers with properties like Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge offering dedicated programs for independent guests. According to a TourRadar traveler: "As a first-time solo traveler to Africa the Cape Town to Victoria Falls route felt very safe and well-organized with great opportunities to meet others."
What are the sleeping arrangements for solo travelers on Africa tours?
During camping safaris solo travelers share standard two-person canvas dome tents with another guest of the same gender. Established sites in places like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater provide camping mattresses and bedding for comfort. As one TourRadar participant shared: "Sharing a tent was a great way to bond with fellow travelers while experiencing the authentic sounds of the African bush at night."
How do cultural experiences work on Africa tours?
Tours weave in genuine local interactions from spending time with San Bushmen in Botswana's Kalahari to visiting Maasai communities in Tanzania. Activities range from dance demonstrations to craft workshops and shared meals. Venues like !Khwa ttu San Culture Centre near Cape Town and the Lusumpuko Women's Club in Victoria Falls facilitate direct engagement. A TourRadar reviewer noted: "The cultural experiences were incredible - we learned traditional crafts from local women and shared meals with village families."
What is included in terms of meals when traveling solo in Africa?
Tour packages typically cover most meals with 15-20 breakfasts 10-15 lunches and 12-18 dinners based on trip duration. Properties like Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge serve meals buffet-style or at community tables to encourage mingling. Many camps feature traditional African barbecues known as braais as social gatherings. According to one TourRadar traveler: "The communal meals were a highlight - we bonded over delicious local food while sharing stories from the day's adventures."
Is it safe to travel as a solo traveler in Africa on a guided tour?
Guided tours provide built-in security through experienced leaders who manage logistics and safety protocols. Accommodations range from secure lodges like Victoria Falls Safari Lodge to protected campgrounds in places such as Kruger National Park. Guides maintain contact with local authorities and follow established safety procedures. As one TourRadar reviewer confirmed: "I felt completely safe throughout the journey - our guide was professional and security was never an issue."
