Confident, Connected, and Unforgettable: Luxury Solo Safari for Women in Africa
Blog post with #NANANtravel Blog PostsYou’re not here to follow someone else’s itinerary. You’re here to connect—with yourself, with place, and with the kind of moments that quietly transform how you experience the world. Whether this is your first solo journey or your tenth, Africa is not simply a destination—it is a sanctuary of freedom, beauty, and personal renewal.
There’s something remarkable about entering a space that feels boundless yet intimate. Here, the landscapes stretch endlessly, yet the experiences feel entirely bespoke—shaped with care, thoughtfulness, and intention. The rhythm of the bush, the warmth of a local smile, the sea breeze at dawn—these aren’t just fleeting photo opportunities; they’re profound, grounding moments.
And when you travel with Nanan Travel your journey is always more than just logistics. It’s curated from experience, shaped with empathy, and designed entirely around your comfort, safety, and joy.
1. South Africa: Cape Town & Kruger – Culture, Cuisine, and the Big Five
Cape Town
Cape Town captivates. You might begin your day with a sunrise hike up Lion’s Head, meander through the artisan stalls at the V&A Waterfront, and end with a solo glass of wine overlooking the vines of Constantia. This is a city perfect for solo exploration—cosmopolitan, safe, and seamlessly navigable.
Travelling with Nanan means you’re never going it alone. Every transfer is arranged, your exclusive hand-picked accommodation, your private guides ready to adjust each outing to suit your pace. Fancy a day among vineyards or an afternoon browsing galleries? It’s all tailored, secure, and effortlessly arranged.
Kruger & Private Game Reserves
Beyond the city, the private reserves adjoining Kruger—such as Sabi Sand and Timbavati—offer a deeply immersive safari experience. Here, early mornings bring you face to face with the Big Five, and afternoons are for unwinding—spa treatments, private plunge pools, fireside reflection.
Nanan’s preferred lodges treat solo travellers with grace and thoughtfulness. You’ll find private suites, intuitive service, and a sense of space that respects your independence while offering warm, discreet hospitality.
2. Tanzania & Zanzibar: Wildlife with Warmth, Coastline with Culture
Tanzania Safari
There’s a stillness in the Serengeti that speaks to the soul. Whether you’re observing elephants in Tarangire or peering into the volcanic majesty of the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania is both powerful and peaceful.
For solo travellers, comfort and safety are paramount. That’s why Germán works exclusively with trusted partners—local guides who go beyond professionalism to offer genuine connection and seamless care. Your day is paced according to your energy. Your room is booked with privacy in mind. Every moment is yours, yet you’re always supported.
Zanzibar Retreat
After the bush, the Indian Ocean awaits. Zanzibar’s white-sand beaches, winding alleys of Stone Town, and fragrant spice plantations offer a different kind of wonder—one of rest, texture, and slow indulgence.
Your time here is unhurried: beachside hammocks, rooftop dinners, gentle dhow sails at sunset. Whether you stay in a private villa or a stylish boutique hotel, your days are designed to reflect your rhythm. All transfers, flights, and activities are pre-arranged, allowing you to settle into the ease of island life.
3. Namibia: Space, Silence, and Soulful Solitude
Namibia is for those seeking something quietly extraordinary. From the towering dunes of Sossusvlei to the lunar landscapes of Damaraland and the salt pans of Etosha, the beauty here is otherworldly—and the solitude enriching.
Travelling solo in Namibia might sound daunting, but not with Nanan. Our trusted local contacts ensure your safety and comfort, even in the most remote regions. Whether by 4×4 or light aircraft, your routes are mapped, your lodges are expecting you, and your comfort is always prioritised.
This is where you rediscover yourself. Where silence is not loneliness, but clarity.
4. What to Expect When You Travel with Nanan Travel
Unrivalled Attention to Detail
From the moment you land, you’re welcomed—often with a warm smile, your name on a sign, and thoughtful touches that speak to the heart. Whether it’s welcome gifts, handwritten notes, or seamless luggage handling, you’ll feel cared for without ever being overwhelmed.
Custom Comfort
