Zambia Solo Single Safari Vacations
Zambia is a great destination for the solo traveler, primarily because the rates across the entire country are some of the lowest in Africa
This becomes increasingly apparent when you include low single supplements that some of the lodges encourage. The majority of our trips to Zambia take in the Lower Zambezi, Victoria Falls and South Luangwa. Below is a list of our favorite lodges for solo travellers in each of these areas.
Lower Zambezi
- Chiawa Camp – no single supplement throughout the entire year!
- Chongwe River Camp and Old Mondoro – especially in April, May, June and November, when there is no single supplement in these camps!
South Luangwa
- Nkwali Camp, Luangwa River Camp and Tena Tena Camp – no single supplement all year!
- Luwi Bush Camp, Mchenja Bush Camp, Kakuli Bush Camp and Nsolo Bush Camp – especially in April, May, June and November, when there is no single supplement in these camps!
Victoria Falls
- Tongabezi and Sindabezi – no single supplement in low season!
- We also suggest that serious safari enthusiasts have a look at the trips we offer to Liuwa Plain in western Zambia, as well as the remote fly camping trips we operate in the remote parts of the Luangwa Valley – these set-departure trips are a great option for solo travellers wishing to join up with a group.
