For solo travellers
Solo Female Kenya Safari
Thousands of solo women safari Kenya every year. Here's how to have a brilliant, safe, well-priced trip.
Key takeaways
- Kenya is one of Africa's most solo-friendly safari destinations.
- Join a small-group departure to avoid single supplements.
- Female guides are increasingly available on request.
- Nairobi is safe with common-sense precautions.
Safety in practice
On safari you're never alone unless you want to be — camp staff and guides are around at all times. In Nairobi, use hotel taxis or Uber, don't walk after dark, and treat it like any other capital city.
Cost strategy
Small-group departures pool costs across 4–8 travellers and eliminate the 30% single supplement. Our fixed departures run weekly.
Recommended camps
Kicheche Bush Camp, Porini Amboseli, Basecamp Mara Explorer — all have communal dining and a friendly solo-traveller vibe.
