Are you dreaming of an African adventure but don’t want to wait around for a travel buddy?
Why not rather book a solo luxury African safari? This isn’t your average trip; it’s the ultimate bucket list experience where you can fully enjoy a fantastically wild experience, along with top-tier comfort and personalised service, all tailored just for you.
The solo trip to Africa is growing in popularity, in fact, it has been for many, many years. And while it was usually reserved for backpackers, these days such a holiday is becoming increasingly more suitable for solo holidaymakers.
If you are sitting on the fence about booking such a tip, here’s what you should know, to inspire you to plan just such a holiday.
- Your Safari, Your Rules
Forget compromising on your travel plans to accommodate everyone else.
When you go solo on a luxury safari in Africa, every detail will be designed around your preferences. Want to spend all day with the lions or have a sundowner on a private deck? You got it. From custom-made itineraries to private guides who focus on your interests, every moment is planned to give you an adventure exactly the way you like it.
- The Perfect Balance of Comfort and Adventure
While you’re exploring Africa’s wildest corners, you’ll be doing it from the lap of luxury.
Think five-star lodges, dreamy tented camps (for glamping) with panoramic views, and meals that rival the finest restaurants.
You’ll wake up to the sounds of nature (with your coffee already waiting), spend the day in awe of the Big Five, and end the evening with a hot bath and a sky full of stars. You can look forward to all of the wonders of the wild, with none of the discomfort.
- Safety First, Adventure Always
Solo travel can feel intimidating, but a luxury African safari is the perfect way to have peace of mind without sacrificing adventure.
Many luxury lodges and camps cater to solo travellers with private transportation, expert guides, and security, so you can explore the untamed landscapes with confidence. Whether you’re tracking lions on a game drive or unwinding in a spa, you’ll be well taken care of.
- Instant Friends or Solo Bliss
The beauty of solo travel is the freedom to be as social (or as solo) as you want.
Luxury safaris are designed for both.
You’ll have the option to join group game drives, meet fellow travellers over gourmet meals, or stick to private adventures.
It’s the best of both worlds, where you connect with like-minded explorers or revel in the quiet moments all to yourself.
- A Journey You’ll Never Forget
Sure, you could wait for a friend to get time off work or find someone who shares your travel bucket list, but why wait?
Going solo on a luxury African safari means you can seize the adventure on your terms, creating stories that will last a lifetime. From tracking majestic wildlife to indulging in world-class luxury, it’s the ultimate journey of discovery, both of Africa and yourself.
