About these Purposeful Safari Adventure Itineraries
Experience Southern Africa Safely & Sustainably
Kaz Custom Travel has carefully curated these 10 purposeful safari adventure itineraries primarily with the solo female traveller in mind as well as for their sustainability. Itineraries range in length from 8 nights to 21 and visit 1 to 4 countries on the same trip. However, you can choose to combine one or more itinerary and/or we can completely customize your own itinerary.
Whether you're looking for desert camp adventure, water-based safaris, walking safaris, a complete mix of game drives, or all premier camps with private transfers, you can be assured of both your safety and the sustainability of the destinations you visit on your purposeful safari adventure.
Safe Adventures for Women
Although you may be travelling solo (i.e. not part of a formal escorted group) or with one other female, you won't be on your safari adventure alone (except during your leisure-time, if you choose to be, and travelling to and from your entry/exit point in Southern Africa).
Itineraries include transfers between camps, accommodations have high quality, attentive stafff, plus game drives and cultural activities are expertly arranged and guided with no more than six guests to a vehicle. There will likely be other guests at camp too but camps are small and intimate so you won't get lost in the crowd.
While activities at a transit city (e.g. Cape Town or Victoria Falls) may not be included on the itinerary, we can definitely plan and book those for you with reputable tour operators in destination.
Sustainable Adventures
Each safari camp and game drive (whether on land or water) included in these itineraries is operated with purpose. Part of the cost of your trip is used to support community and/or wildlife projects, so you'll know your visit will benefit the local wildlife, communities and economy.
Important Information
Please note: All itineraries are for sample purposes only and include suggested departure dates which were based on availability for solo travellers at the time they were curated. Some dates may have already past and or no longer be available. Camps and accommodations specified are subject to availability at time of booking depending on your desired start date, occupancy and duration at each camp, as well as changes to flight routing and scheduling between camps and transit airports and may need to be adjusted accordingly.
Additional overnights at transit points may be required to allow for flight connections and/or COVID-19 testing and isolation requirements between countries (if still required).
Pricing (where shown) is based on single occupancy with single supplement already included for the date specified, unless otherwise stated. Prices may be subject to change due to increases in underlying costs such as fuel costs, supplier costs, currency fluctuations and/or government levies or taxes, as well as other factors, such as additional overnights, flight schedule changes, any other itinerary changes.
All itinerary pricing is subject to change until confirmed and fully paid, and is subject to the suppliers' terms and conditions. All trip itineraries must therefore be re-quoted prior to booking regardless of date of travel.
Itineraries do not include international entry/exit flights and in some cases may require additional transfers to/from the first/last camp or accommodation on the itinerary, as well as additional overnight accommodation at the entry/exit airport (depending on flight schedules).
Where international/domestic transfer flights between camps/accommodations are mentioned in the itinerary, pricing may not be accurate or included due to scheduling issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore total trip cost may be substantially impacted.
Activities (such as game drives/safaris) may not be included in the itinerary at entry/exit point accommodations (e.g. in Cape Town, Victoria Falls) unless specified in the inclusions.
Optional activities at camps, such as hot air balloon rides, are extra. All pre- and post add-ons (flights, accommodations, activities) and optional activities can be customized for your specific requirements. Please inquire during the planning step.
Please read full terms and conditions before booking.
