Travelling solo can be a super empowering and eye-opening experience, and the feeling of complete freedom to choose where to go and what to do is simply unparalleled. When you\u2019re on the road alone, you\u2019re able to connect closely with your surroundings in a way that isn\u2019t always available to you when someone else is by your side. It\u2019s also a great opportunity to build confidence and get in touch with your inner traveler. Taking a solo trip is the ultimate act of self-indulgence, and once you take the first plunge, you\u2019ll be hooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for your next solo travel destination, we suggest a place that boasts some of the most spectacular wildlife and nature landscapes in the world \u2013 Africa. Africa is vastly different from coast to coast, making it the perfect place for adventure-seeking solo travelers. Here, you&#8217;re sure to find new ways to connect with your surroundings; whether it\u2019s through the thrilling adrenaline rush of ziplining over the Victoria Falls, breathtaking views of the Big Five in their natural habitats on an <a href=\"\/i\/africa-safari\">African safari<\/a>, or sitting with a cup of coffee and chatting with the locals in one of the continent&#8217;s metropolitan centres. \u00a0Traveling alone in Africa can sound daunting to many, thanks to a number of misconceptions about the continent, but many people, women included, have experienced travelling to Africa alone, and found it to be completely safe. While recent political strife might mean that the continent hasn\u2019t enjoyed the best reputation, Africa is just as safe, if not safer, than many other popular tourist destinations around the world. Depending on where you go, most attractions in Africa are far away from zones of conflict and enjoy low crime rates, with the biggest problem being sporadic petty crime. Women who are traveling alone might be more likely to receive unwelcome attention, but don\u2019t let this discourage you \u2013 the same can result if you are too obvious about your wealth. When you travel alone in Africa, you\u2019re sure to meet lots of friendly people \u2013 either warm and helpful locals, or other solo travelers just like you!<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/d\/africa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Africa <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Here are some suggestions to kickstart your African solo travel itinerary: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seek some thrills at Victoria Falls <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This majestic waterfall is one of the largest in the world and is high on many travelers\u2019 lists, but it should be at the top of yours if you\u2019re a solo traveler looking to step way outside your comfort zone. Sitting on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, the Falls are a sight to behold, and their popularity means an established tourist infrastructure and that you likely won\u2019t be the only one exploring on your own. Here, solo activities abound, and they\u2019re not for the faint of heart \u2013 go bungee jumping off the bridge that connects Zimbabwe and Zambia, or zipline across the Zambezi River Gorge. If these thrilling high wire activities aren\u2019t for you, go white-water rafting and spot some crocodiles and hippos, wade in Devil\u2019s Pool and peer over the edge of the Falls, or go on a hike around the area and experience the local arts, crafts, and cultural scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/VictoriaFalls-min.jpg\" alt=\"Victoria Falls\" class=\"wp-image-22344 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/VictoriaFalls-min.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/VictoriaFalls-min-434x289.jpg 434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>Victoria Falls is simply breathtaking | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ninara\/14535317162\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Ninara\/Flickr (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Ninara\/Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/what-solo-travel-looks-like-for-women-in-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What Solo Travel Looks Like For Women in 2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Go on a safari<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Safaris are one of the most popular experiences for travelers to Africa, and rightfully so \u2013 the vast continent is home to an astonishingly wide range of wildlife, making for a wildlife viewing experience unlike any other. There\u2019s a solitary joy in wildlife watching, so you would be remiss not to do one on a solo trip \u2013 not only are safaris one of the best places to meet and interact with fellow travelers, but going solo also gives you the flexibility to go after the sights you truly want to see. No two safaris in Africa are the same, so you\u2019ll have some decisions to make \u2013 do you want to see the Big Five game animals in their natural habitats in <a href=\"\/i\/kenya-big-five\">Kenya<\/a>, or go on a <a href=\"\/i\/uganda-gorilla-trekking\">gorilla trekking tour in Uganda<\/a>?

It\u2019s important to avoid traveling to areas that are currently in conflict, like areas of Central and West Africa, so check your travel advisories to help you plan your trip. Make sure you get all your required travel vaccinations to avoid falling ill, as emergency services might not be as readily available. Do not travel or walk alone at night. As you would with all travel destinations, do your share of cultural research beforehand, and make sure to respect it while you\u2019re there. Be aware of the fact that you\u2019re going to stand out as a foreigner, and avoid displays of wealth by making sure not to wear expensive jewellery or carry your wallet and pricey electronics, like cameras and cell phones, out in the open. Going on a solo trip will require a lot of planning ahead, but it\u2019s guaranteed to pay off as the trip of a lifetime!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No offense to everyone else, but a girl\u2019s best travel partner is herself.
