Travel solo — without being alone.
This 15‑day East Africa expedition is built for travellers who want to experience the wild in a way that stays with you forever — from standing metres away from endangered mountain gorillas in Rwanda’s mist‑covered forests, to golden‑hour safaris across Kenya’s Masai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater.
Along the way, you’ll spend meaningful time with communities around Nairobi, learning from Maasai elders and Kikuyu grandmothers and seeing first‑hand the impact of community‑led conservation.
Designed for solo travellers and friends joining together, this journey brings together like‑minded people who love nature, culture and adventure — but may not have someone to travel with. It’s social but pressure‑free, structured yet spacious, and deeply immersive from start to finish.
✓ Solo‑friendly mixed group (no couples‑only bookings) ✓ Gorilla trekking permit included ✓ Masai Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro safaris ✓ Night game drive in the Mara ✓ Nairobi cultural immersion & social‑impact day ✓ Internal bush flight (Mara → Serengeti) ✓ Flying Doctors emergency evacuation cover ✓ Expert rangers & driver‑guides
You’ll begin in Kigali and travel north to Volcanoes National Park for your gorilla trek. From there, you’ll fly into Nairobi for unique cultural experiences before travelling overland to the Masai Mara for two full days of safari, including a night drive.
Then, fly directly into the Serengeti for an unforgettable tented‑camp stay before journeying to the Ngorongoro Highlands for a full day exploring the crater floor — one of the world’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries.
This itinerary blends bucket‑list moments, slow travel, connection, conservation and culture — with comfort every step of the way.
