What to know before going on safari on your own
Tanzania is an easy place to go on safari alone. Trips here are built around a vehicle and guide, so solo travelers are not left out the way they can be on some kinds of holiday.
A private vehicle and guide cost the same for one person as for several, so traveling alone usually costs more per person. Joining a shared departure, where one is available, can bring the price down.
Your driver-guide is with you throughout the safari, which removes most of the usual worries of traveling alone. In towns and cities, normal precautions apply.
At camps and lodges you often eat near other guests, and many solo travelers find they are rarely lonely.
Some lodges charge extra when one person uses a room meant for two. It can make a noticeable difference to the total, so we always confirm it up front.
