Page 56 - 101+ Tips for Solo Women Travelers

“There is something about safari life that makes you forget all
your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle
of champagne — bubbling over with heartfelt
gratitude for being alive.”

—Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen),
author, Out of Africa

On Safari in Africa

Here at O.A.T., African safaris are among the most popular trips for solo
women. Sure, you’ll be about as far away from home as you can be, and
out in the wild. But you’ll also be well cared for by your safari guides,
drivers, and camp and lodge crew; and gratified by the camaraderie that
arises as you share such an impactful experience with your safari mates.
You’ll have to be mindful of what you pack (the small aircraft that fly you to
your lodges have strict weight limits). But most safari lodges will surprise
you with the level of creature comforts they provide, out among the most
marvelous creatures on earth.
