With companies like Elewana and Hoopoe, the nation is quite friendly for single travellers in part because it allows one to connect up with other solo adventurers, couples, and small groups on prearranged itineraries. This actually helps reduce the cost; a day on safari is less expensive the more passengers in a safari vehicle!

We will just arrange your lodging and you will go on safari with whoever is staying at the lodge or camp if you would rather go on your own to each property and do not want to join others for your safari. There are several things to think about for this type of lone visitor. The first is the expense; some businesses run better-value excursions than others. All of this comes down to the tax some businesses charge single visitors—also known as the single extra. The one supplement pays for the expenses of the other person not in your room and might be as much as 50% of your total.

Where in Tanzania for your solo safari?

Northern Tanzania is the location we advise solitary visitors joining a “group” safari. Here we provide many safaris for:

Serengetian
Tarangire National Park; Ngorongoro Conservation Area
While some of these tours are lodge-based safaris, many of them include mobile camps; so, the options for single visitors are rather extensive. We also collaborate with several knowledgeable guides, including Alex Walker, who organizes specialized safaris across the area; these safaris are more costly, but they do ensure a very high degree of guiding and showcase the best homes. Based at the property you visit, a skilled guide would either join you on private game drives or travel with you all through.

For visitors negotiating their own paths across the nation:

The Serengeti Ngorongoro Tarangire
During low and shoulder seasons, no single supplement is paid in Elewana and Lemala properties. Elsewhere, the single supplement falls between 30 and 50 percent. Since some camps offer scheduled eating times, you might also ask if you would prefer to eat alone or with others.

Suggested single activities for Tanzania

For game drives with all the Big Five— lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo—parts of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater are spectacular! Additionally present are hundreds of birds and some smaller predators and herbivores. If you would want to visit the Serengeti while the Great Migration’s herds are in residence, kindly get in touch with us; we will try our best to arrange for you a front-row view. Walking Safaris: Tarangire is advised for the large elephant migration; once more, please let us know whether you would be interested in going at this particular time of year.
