Sometimes you are a solo travelling enthusiast who loves the excitement of new adventures on your own: your decisions, your pace, your independence.

Other times, travelling alone is not your favourite thing in the world but it's just hard to find someone who can or wants to join you in a safari: different budgets, destination preferences, time, ... We also know it can feel intimidating a few days in the middle of nowhere with just one guide and the accommodation staff. None of these reasons should stop you from embarking in a solo safari. It is not as overwhelming as you might think. The truth is you'll never feel lonely. These are the reasons why you should go on a solo safari:

3. It's the perfect time to develop an extra skill! A safari gives you the perfect chance for self-enrichment like perfecting or developing your camera skills, your passion for birds or your obsession for Big cats,...you name it because, guess what, you're the leader !

Use Angama Mara as the cornerstone for a grand East African safari including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater or gorilla trekking, or simply take advantage of one of our offers to book your stay in the Maasai Mara.

There is more to green and hilly Rwanda than meets the eye: it is also home to the primate-filled Nyungwe Forest National Park, where boisterous chimpanzees frolic and the skies are filled with a myriad of birds. And in low lying eastern Rwanda, Akagera National Park offers big game viewing in a diverse savannah setting with safari heavyweights including lions and elephants. Here are some of our best reasons to go on a Rwanda safari:

So you're off on the safari of a lifetime... You've been dreaming of this for years and the last thing you want to do is end up out in the middle of the bush without everything you need to optimise your African experience... If this is you, then this is the blog for you.

3) Binoculars. These are worth investing in to get a much better view of the fresh impala blood on the furry face of that hyaena you've been following since dawn, or to really see the intricate details of a Bateleur eagle roosting on a tree near your camp... We have a pair of Bushnell 16 x 50 and Tasco 8 x 40. Two pairs because Andy and I both want them at the same time!

4) The right clothes. There's a reason why I slip back into khaki when I'm in the bush in Africa (though truth be told, I have a fetish for wearing it in the city too) - it's practical. You need to wear clothes that blend you into the bush so you don't stand out and scare off the animals. Avoid bright whites, reds and anything loud. Depending what time of year you're going to Africa and where, chances are you might need both light cooler clothes for the day time and warmer clothes for night. In places like Namibia, it's not uncommon for the temperature to drop from 40 degrees C in the day time to close to zero at night. A wind breaking jacket is a must for early morning and late afternoon game drives. You'll probably need a warm jumper under that too. You'll be amazed at how cold it can get in the back of an open Land Rover when the wind is hitting you full force, even if it's been a warm day. So always pack some warm gear as well as day wear, but do check what the weather's likely to be like where you're going as across Africa as it varies enormously. I recommend long pants with collared shirts in bush colours (khaki, green, brown) for general day wear, as the long pants and sleeves can help keep the mosquitoes at bay (and the sun too). Ladies, I always bring along some nice scarves that can dress up the khaki look over dinner at the rather fancy safari camps I visit on my safaris. It's worth having a few little things like this in your bag so you can 'dress up' a little for the evenings by the campfire. But don't bring any expensive jewellery with you to Africa, as it's important to remember that you are visiting areas where the annual income of the locals is much much lower than anything you've experienced lately.

5) A basic first aid kit. Most safari camps will have first aid kits with most things you'll need, but I always take a small bag with the basics in it - panadol, band aids, antiseptic lotion, that sort of thing. Obviously it's up to you to bring any prescribed medicines that you need - and that probably includes malaria prophylactics.

6) Sun glasses. These are not just for Africa's scorching sun, but also helpful to keep the wind (and occasionally insects) out of your eyes in the open game viewing vehicles.

7) Travel Insurance. Don't travel to Africa without it. It costs around $150 for a week or so and it's worth every cent just in case something goes wrong. Actually it's a condition of travel for most African safari companies that you have this, including mine.

8) Comfortable, closed in hiking boots. I've had my unbreakable pair of Scarpas for about 15 years (no kidding - they have covered some territory) but on my next trip to Africa I'll be wearing my new Blundstones. They're light, easy to get on and off, and they protect your feet from rocks, snakes and other critters.

Zanzibar... The name alone evokes images of tropical paradise. Calling up visions of picturesque islands with soft sand, white beaches and shimmering azure waters. Yet, the Zanzibar Archipelago has so much more to offer than romantic coastlines and blissful sunsets. These islands offer a kaleidoscope of sights, smells, tastes and experiences that will feed your soul, rejuvenate your body and reawaken your creativity.

These days, everyone lives a sedentary lifestyle. There is hardly any physical activity involved in their daily routine. Going cycling or taking a hike to the Pulpit Rock, Norway, is definitely going to leave a positive impact on your physical health. You will notice positive changes in your body like improved digestion, no acidity, a rise in strength, and more. If you are planning to drive to a place for cycling or surfing, then install car roof racks. These are a strong set of bars installed on top of cars that lets you carry your adventure essentials safely.

Not always, you will be with your family and friends on a trip. Sometimes on adventure trips, you will be traveling with strangers. And, the best thing would be, these people are of the same mindset, as excited and nervous as you. By the end of a seven-day trip, you will make many new friends and lots of memories. You are going to recollect those memories, learn from the experience, and cherish them forever.

Doing something that is going to make you uncomfortable is challenging, yet it helps you grow as a person. Indulge in some adventure sports to gain a sharper mind. Go for kayaking, scuba diving, or as simple as exploring a new route is useful for brain stimulation. It helps in improving your creativity and problem-solving skills.

A trip filled with adventure is an excellent way to learn new skills. Every place has a different culture, different style, and beauty. You might have to learn the basics of a new language to communicate with the locals or develop your negotiation skills or cooking skills. These skills are going to stay with you forever and will help you in your personal life too.

Safari is a Swahili word meaning "journey" and Samburu National Reserve is a magnificent and magical place for a soul-stirring African Safari. One of Kenya's smallest, this remote and unique game reserve is hidden far off the beaten path, north of snow-capped Mt. Kenya. Very different in nature from other regularly visited African safari sites, it provides its own special experience. The starkness of this arid, dusty, semi-desert is stunning. It is flanked and sustained by the Ewaso Nyiro River with humankind and wildlife congregating in close proximity in the green riverine forest along the banks of this fragile lifeline. Life here is raw and real. A safari will firmly place you in its midst. While at other safari sites one seems to be observing a big beautiful picture (also well worth also experiencing) at Samburu you become part of life... And the real journey begins.

First, let me provide some perspective. The accommodation is luxurious, the hospitality warm and inviting and the guides helpful and particularly knowledgeable about the Samburu ecosystem and local customs - they proudly wear their traditional attire. Your safety and well being are paramount. It's just that you might have to share your salad with an elephant, dance like a giraffe or share the depths of your soul with a leopard...

Have you had adventures that made you realize that travel is more than checking the been-there-done-that boxes? Experiences that allowed you to discover more about yourself or touched your soul? We'd love to hear from you.
