Tanzania Safari Solo Travel Tips: Safety & Confidence
Embarking on a solo safari in Tanzania is a bold and rewarding experience.

Choose the Right Safari Style
Solo travelers often benefit from joining small group safaris, which allow for shared costs and the opportunity to meet new people. However, if you’re looking for ultimate privacy and flexibility, a private safari is also a great option. Lodges and camps in Tanzania warmly welcome solo guests and offer communal dining, bonfire gatherings, and guided activities.
Pro Tip: Ask about our shared departures or custom itineraries with a solo-friendly touch.
Safety First, Always
Tanzania is one of Africa’s safest safari destinations, especially when traveling with a professional guide. Still, here are a few solo travel safety tips to keep in mind:
- Stick with your guide while inside the parks.
- Don’t wander alone at night, especially in unfenced lodges.
- Keep your valuables secure and carry only essentials when exploring towns.
- Share your travel itinerary with a friend or family member back home.
Our team ensures every aspect of your trip meets international safety standards.
Pack Smart & Light
As a solo traveler, packing light makes navigating airports and transfers easier. Essentials include:
- Neutral-colored clothing
- Lightweight layers
- Sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat
- A portable charger and adapter
- A good camera or binoculars
And don’t forget your sense of adventure!
