Going on a safari is a wonderfully rewarding holiday for anyone wanting to travel alone and whether you want to join in with a small group of likeminded individuals or have a tailor-made safari itinerary planned just for you, there are many possibilities available to the solo traveller.

If you are looking for company when you take your safari holiday in Africa then one of the best things to consider is to join a small group. These safaris operate on frequent departure dates throughout the year and vary in length, style and types of activity depending on the interests of the travellers. However, if group travel does not appeal then there are plenty of opportunities to take a safari alone. The majority of camps and lodges are small and have an atmosphere similar to that of a small gathering of friends and many people meet new people who then go on to become lifelong friends.

Travelling with a group is a reassuring sure way to stay safe and many women choose to travel in a small group for precisely the added confidence that this way of travelling brings. As safety is always an important issue, when on safari as on any trip abroad, it is a good idea to stay in small group accommodation even if travelling solo.
