Solo & Social — A small-group safari built for solo travellers — no single supplement, a sociable bunch, shared 4x4 and twin-share tents
4 days · 3 nights · Good year-round
About this experience
Travelling solo shouldn't cost double or mean eating alone. This scheduled small-group departure caps the group at eight, waives the single supplement (we twin-share same-gender tents, or pay a small top-up for your own), and keeps the vibe sociable — shared sundowners, communal dinners, a guide who brings everyone together. You get the Mara's big cats and Nakuru's rhino without the solo premium.
Highlights
- Solo travellers
- Younger / sociable travellers

Signature experiences
Optional add-ons our specialists can build into this trip. Prices are per person, confirmed on request.
Lift off at dawn over the plains, drift silently above the herds, and land to a champagne bush breakfast. The definitive Mara morning.
A boat out among the hippos and fish eagles of Naivasha, then a walk on Crescent Island where the game roams free.
Spend an hour in a working manyatta — the jumping dance, fire-making, and a look at daily Maasai life, hosted by the community itself.
A lantern-lit table set out under the stars, your own chef and a crackling fire — the safari dinner people remember for years.

Common questions
Will I really avoid the single supplement?+
Yes — on the twin-share option we pair solo travellers with a same-gender roommate at no extra cost. Prefer your own tent? Add the modest single supplement and it's all yours.
Who else will be on the trip?+
A mixed, sociable small group (max 8) — usually a blend of solo travellers and couples from different countries. The guide keeps the group together for meals and sundowners.
Is it safe and comfortable for solo women?+
Very — same-gender tent shares, a professional guide throughout, and a supportive group dynamic. Many of our solo guests are women travelling alone.
