A once-in-a-lifetime journey through Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar.
This extraordinary 13-day adventure through East Africa has been specially curated for the discerning solo traveller, blending exhilarating wildlife encounters, rich cultural experiences and time to unwind by the Indian Ocean.
Your journey begins in Nairobi, where the buzz of city life quickly gives way to the timeless rhythms of the African wilderness. In Kenya’s iconic Masai Mara, you’ll come face to face with nature at its most raw and spectacular – lions lazing in the shade, elephants on the move, and vast herds of wildebeest crossing golden plains. At Loita Hills, you’ll be welcomed by the proud Maasai people for a moving cultural exchange and insight into their traditional way of life.
Crossing into Tanzania, you’ll pause on the shores of Lake Victoria before plunging into the legendary Serengeti – a name that conjures images of acacia-dotted plains and thrilling game drives beneath open skies. With two nights under canvas in a luxury tented camp, this is the Africa of your dreams.
Next comes the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheatre teeming with wildlife – including the elusive black rhino. From there, connect with one of Africa’s last hunter-gatherer tribes, the Hadzabe of Lake Eyasi, whose ancient traditions offer a powerful counterpoint to the modern world. Finally, fly to Zanzibar, where history and hedonism collide. Lose yourself in the spice-laden alleyways of Stone Town, then retreat to the island’s idyllic beaches. Sail the turquoise waters aboard a traditional dhow and snorkel coral reefs alive with colour – the perfect exhale to your East African odyssey. Escorted by an experienced tour host and local guides, and designed for comfort, connection and discovery, this small-group journey offers solo travellers an unforgettable window into the soul of Africa.
