| Description |
Expect In Africa Safari offer an opportunity for those solo-travelers who really want to go safari alone, destinations like North Tanzania & Zanzibar and the other Indian Ocean islands are an attractive proposition. For those with time on their hands and wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the country as well as give back, volunteering with a local Tanzanian non-profit to contribute to their community development or conservation work can give a real sense of purpose and a feeling of satisfaction to your solo travel adventures. You are far more likely to get a solo travel deal in Green Season when both rates and demand are lower than peak season. Green Season has plenty of advantages, not least of which are more options for single travellers. Lodges and camps that waive single-supplement charges will often only do so on one room. The earlier you begin planning, the better your chances of securing that room for yourself. |
