On Safari in Africa

56
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.
