Travelling by yourself in Kenya doesn’t have to be intimidating, and can open you up to a whole world of exciting adventures, friendly encounters and opportunities to make lifelong memories! The breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, vibrant wildlife and welcoming locals offer incredible opportunities to embark on a journey of self-discovery - you don't have to wait for the perfect travel companion to see what magic Kenya holds.
Whether you're a seasoned solo explorer or stepping into the world of solo travel for the first time, Kenya offers endless opportunities for exploration on your own terms. Let Secret Safari be your guide, starting with these three trips to take by yourself.
You don't have to travel with a partner, or join a group to make the most of the Mara. If what you’re looking for from a solo getaway is tranquillity and the chance to immerse yourself in nature with a side of jaw-dropping wildlife encounters, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is a dream. Without the distractions of a tour group, you can set your own pace and fully make the experience of diving into the African wilderness your own. You can also use the opportunity to get to know your guide, learning about Maasai culture and sharing some insights into your own. Your Maasai guide will have an unparalleled knowledge of the landscape, history, fauna and flora of the Mara, and you'll leave with an arsenal of incredible stories to share with friends back home.
With favourable Single Supplement rates for solo travellers, this is the perfect Mara getway for single travellers. A stylish and contemporary tented camp in the heart of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. All seven of the large luxury tents have a private 10 foot veranda complete with day beds and private dining areas and the en suite bathrooms all have flushing toilets and safari shower, filled daily with hot water on request. The tents nestle amongst a riverine forest and are spaced so that each has a unique view of the surrounding bush and wildlife. Naibor Camps proudly supports and involves nearby Masai communities, employing many of their staff from neighbouring towns and villages.
Are you up for a challenge? Mount Kenya, East Africa's second-highest peak, awaits your solo ascent. Embarking on this journey alone can be a profound test of your determination and resilience. Traverse through lush rainforests, moorlands, and alpine deserts as you make your way to the summit. The breathtaking views from the top are all the more rewarding when you can savor them in solitude. It's a journey of self-discovery, and the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled. Of course, you'll have your skilled and expereinced guide to help navigate this journey of a lifetime, so you won't be left completely to your own devices. If you've been dreaming of tackling this challenge, but you can't seem to find the crowd to do it with, this is your sign to hit the mountain solo!
