Flying Solo Travelling ‘Solo’ doesn’t have to
mean travelling ‘Alone’. There
many people today who, for a
wide variety of reasons, are
booking holidays by themselves.
Luckily, on safari, the communal
nature of mealtimes and the
vehicles means that no-one is
ever alone. Where shared
p a s s i o n s f o r w i l d l i f e ,
photography or travel in general
means that conversation and
good company are never in short
supply.
However, one of the big sticking
points for a solo traveller is often
the single supplement. We
understand that with limited
room numbers, lodges need to
balance their books. Thankfully
however, a great number of our
recommended lodges and camps
offer either year round or low
season rates with no single
supplement. So no tiny rooms,
with an equally tiny single bed,
but the same light, bright and
beautiful rooms as everyone else.
We’ve put together a small
selection of our favourites to
whet your appetite.
For anyone who still has
reservations about venturing out
alone, there are plenty of group
escorted tours to be found from a
classic Garden Route tour to a
full on wilderness safari
adventure.

your ideas, 0161 789 8838
