Solo Travel

We’ve tried to answer the most frequently asked questions about group travel to Africa below.

Africa is great for solo travel as it offers an array of incredible destinations and experiences to choose from, and is generally safe, with many warm and hospitable cultures welcoming visitors.

Africa is generally safe for travel, and your dedicated guide will ensure that you get to and from your destinations safely and with ease.

Our tours usually accommodate between 12 - 17 guests in total, ensuring that the group size accommodates for both privacy and socialising when you choose.

Ideally, you should plan your tour 6 months to one year in advance for the smoothest process, however, at least 2-3 months in advance is recommended.
