South Africa Solo Tours for Single Travelers

We opted to do this over hiking Mt Kilimanjaro. So glad we did. I loved the variety of the wildlife and the hiking. The terrain was excellent with a good amount of challenge. Clifford our guide was fabulous. He pointed out the wildlife, gave us interesting information on all sorts of things and led our walks managing a range of abilities and speeds. We loved the trip and had an awesome time. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

The perfect blend of city life, adventure, and unforgettable safari experiences. Our Trip Manager, Sim, was outstanding—highly professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and an absolute blast to travel with. His expertise on each country we visited was unmatched, and no matter the question, he always had the answer. His ability to speak multiple languages made communication seamless with both locals and guides, adding so much depth to the experience. The safari guides were truly remarkable. Their talent for spotting wildlife—camouflaged in dense trees or hidden in the distance—was nothing short of impressive. Even with their help, I often needed extra direction just to see what they had already noticed! I would do this trip again in a heartbeat—ten times over.

Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see Africa. It was absolutely amazing! Our Trip Manager is the most special thing to ever happen to Contiki, he cared about everyone in our group and we all loved him right back. TM was professional, approachable and inclusive also his knowledge of the local languages and history was fantastic. The accommodation is really good especially in Victoria Falls the resort is gorgeous. Activities like the game drives, village homestead tour and camping in Chobe National Park are spectacular once in a lifetime experience. In short, book the the trip because you won’t regret anything except when it’s time to come home!

This trip was everything we hoped for and more. The itinerary was fast paced and sometimes meant a lot of time on the bus, but it was worth it to be able to see and do so much. I'd recommend this trip to everyone.

We had great and unique lodging and food, great excursions, and knowledgeable guides and leaders! Overall we were well cared for and shown a good time. A few of the days we were stuck on the bus or van for almost all of the day, and while there were brief stops to break this up it still felt like we were seeing South Africa from afar instead of experiencing it on these days. If there is a way to tweak the schedule for less bus time that would improve this tour.

The trip was amazing was incredible and really knowledgeable about his home. All the game drivers were lovely and had amazing knowledge as well! The downfalls, basically the whole trip were add ons. Not alot was included, eswatini dinner was frustrating as we had no other option so we had to buy dinner there and believe it should have been included.
