Travelling Solo to Africa After 60

As they say, with age comes wisdom, and there is no wiser choice than Africa as a holiday destination. Whether you’re looking for a thrilling trip exploring the vast savannah of Kenya, a stroll along the cosmopolitan V&A Waterfront of Cape Town, or a quiet retreat on the shores of Zanzibar, the African Travel Specialists can help plan the perfect itinerary for you. It’s never too late to embark on an African adventure, no matter your interests, or stage of life. Read on to find out why solo travel could be a good fit for you…

Travel to meet like-minded people…

Solo travel doesn’t have to mean being isolated! Whether you choose to travel with a group, or join others during game drives and around campfires, you will be surprised at how much opportunity there is to interact with like-minded individuals.

Travel with confidence…

You will always have the African Travel Consultants on call to help ease any concerns or worries. Curious about how to upgrade your room, or want to add on a few extra days? Concerned about who you would contact in an emergency? Our experienced team are here to make sure your trip is as smooth and streamlined as possible.

Travel with comfort…

Our tailor-made itineraries consider every detail of your journey- from the destinations you wish to explore and experiences you want to enjoy, to the wildlife encounters you hope to have and the style of accommodation that best suits your preferences. Our African Travel Specialists consultants arrange transfers, hand-select guides and drivers, and ensure your accommodation is both accessible and comfortably luxurious.

Travel at your own pace…

Although Africa is often thought of as a fast-paced adventure, we believe every traveller should experience it at their own pace. Whether you’re capturing incredible wildlife moments through photography, spotting unique bird species, or simply relaxing by the pool with a good book while taking in your surroundings, Africa offers something for everyone- no matter your pace of travel.

At the African Travel Specialists, we believe your dream of experiencing Africa should not be put on hold. The perfect time to travel is when you’re ready, and the perfect companion for this adventure may just be yourself.
