Who travels solo?

In the past, the concept of traveling alone might have evoked ideas of daring adventurers and the wildest among us. The situation has changed. Though all solo travelers—men and women—generally possess a healthy dose of self-assurance, they can range from those at the extremes of the introvert sociability spectrum—attracted to this type of travel because it allows them to be independent and spend time alone—to those who are regarded as adventurous extroverts and make friends everywhere they go. anything in between as well.

Is it safe to travel solo in Africa?

There are no concerns unique to solo travel in Africa, especially with pre-planned itineraries reserved through an operator, but tourists should always follow the standard common sense safety precautions like avoiding deserted places and never traveling alone at night in towns. Additionally, booking through a travel agency will reduce your vulnerability to con artists and provide you with advance notice of any potential health hazards, such as malaria, and instructions on how to avoid them.

What is a single supplement?

In most cases, the cost of a room is automatically split between two individuals. To cover the full cost of the lodging, the sole traveler must pay a single supplement. This can make traveling alone more expensive, in addition to the fact that the majority of activities and transfers are often paid as a minimum of two people.

How do I avoid single supplements?

The knowledgeable staff at Kabira Safaris & Tours Africa knows which hotels don’t charge single extras and when it’s ideal to visit to avoid the extra fees associated with solo travel. Additionally, we can help you arrange transports and light aircraft charters without charging a single premium.
