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 passions for wildlife, 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.
