What people love about touring Tanzania solo
- 9 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing - Lemosho Route
Great experience, we never want to miss. Great guides and team, organising everything needed. Reliable staff. Thank you so much for everything. Can't wait to recommend you for everyone I will meet
- 5 Days Tanzania Enticing Explorations
We were with Steppe Dogs Adventures for 5 days on safari in the Lake Manyara, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Our driver Joseph Mashine was one of the best you can ever find out in the bush. He drove us safely through all muddy waters while others got stuck. And he is a fantastic spotter. We could see with him all big 5 and above all the Serval cat which is a rarity on its own. The whole trip was perfectly organised and they found for us the perfect stays in the tented camps. As the non plus ultra they organised for us a balloon safari with the most experienced balloon pilot Paco. It was the once in a lifetime experience. 2 million wildebeests as far as you can see. Unbelievable. If you really want a safari out of the common tracks Joseph is the man. He managed to be on spots nobody was there. Asante sana Mashine.
- 6 Day Machame Route | Kilimanjaro Climbing
From Amos greeting us at the Kilimanjaro airport, to Guides, and all of the porters and our cook helping us on our 7 days hike up Mount Kilimanjaro. They run a very competent and professional Kilimanjaro climbing company that supplied us with everything we needed to succeed on our summiting Mount Kilimanjaro hiking the Machame route. Our expectations were regularly exceeded with all aspects of our trip! The food was fantastic, the tents and sleeping bags kept us warm and the charming personalities of the whole team who took much enjoyment in helping us because they clearly love their jobs! We were treated amazingly well. This is the only company I would use to climb Mount Kilimanjaro again.
What our customers ask about Tanzania Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the typical group size for Tanzania tours suitable for solo travelers?
Tanzania tours keep groups small and manageable usually between 6 to 12 people. The Northern Circuit safari tours maintain a strict limit of 6 travelers per vehicle which gives everyone a clear view of wildlife. For those interested in climbing Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route groups usually include 8 to 10 climbers plus guides and porters. This size makes it easy to get to know your fellow travelers.
How experienced are the guides with solo travelers?
Tour guides in Tanzania come with extensive training in managing group dynamics and working with solo travelers. They're fluent in several languages including English German French and Spanish. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our guide Maxwell turned our safari into an exciting odyssey through Tarangire Serengeti parks and Ngorongoro Crater. He was knowledgeable about all the animals and helped us communicate with the Maasai people."
What are the typical costs of single supplements on Tanzania safari tours?
Single room charges in Tanzania cost between 200 to 400 USD varying by accommodation quality. Some places like Serena Safari Lodge and Kibo Palace Hotel have rooms designed for solo guests. Several operators including Almighty Kilimanjaro don't charge extra for single tents. As one traveler noted on TourRadar: "I had my own spacious tent throughout the trek with no additional charges."
How are meal arrangements handled for solo travelers?
Group dining is standard practice in Tanzania creating natural opportunities to meet other travelers. At Millennium Camp on Kilimanjaro everyone eats together in a shared tent while places like Lake Burunge Tented Lodge set up group dining experiences. The kitchens adapt well to different dietary needs. One TourRadar review noted "the cook prepared excellent vegetarian options throughout the trek."
Which areas of Tanzania are most welcoming for solo travelers?
Tanzania's Northern Circuit especially around Arusha and Moshi offers a welcoming environment for solo travelers. Places like Serengeti Wild Camps and Highview Hotel in Karatu feature social spaces where travelers naturally gather. A TourRadar guest noted: "The staff at the camps/lodges was exceptional. They treated us like royalty attending to our every need." The village of Mto wa Mbu gives visitors chances to connect with locals through activities like banana beer tasting and cooking classes.
What kind of accommodations can solo travelers expect on Tanzania tours?
The best times to visit are June through October and December through March. During these months the weather suits outdoor activities and wildlife viewing is at its peak in places like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. These busy seasons bring more travelers making social connections easier. A TourRadar visitor who went in July shared: "The weather was perfect while we were there and we saw all the Big 5 plus incredible migration scenes."
