Travel Solo – But Never Alone

Dreaming of an African safari, but no one to join you? You don’t have to wait for someone else’s plans to line up. We are bringing together solo travelers from around the world who would like to experience Uganda as part of a small group.

Our Uganda Group Safari for Singles is designed for people who want to explore Uganda with like-minded travelers, share the experience and make new connections along the way. This is not a dating Safari.

You don’t have a travel buddy?

 

No problem. Join our Uganda travel interest list and tell us when you would ideally like to travel and what kind of Uganda experience you are looking for.

We are building a list of travelers who would like to join our small-group safaris in Uganda.

Once we have a group of 5-8 people interested in travelling around the same time, we can bring everyone together and shape the safari around the interests, wishes and travel style of the group.

This means the itinerary isn’t simply a standard package. We take into account what the group is most interested in seeing and experiencing in Uganda.

Why Join our Small-Group Safari in Uganda?

Shared Adventure

Seeing Uganda’s wildlife and landscapes is an incredible experience — and sharing it with a small group makes it even more memorable. Game drives, spectacular scenery, local encounters and evenings at the lodge all become experiences you can share.

Meet Like-Minded Travelers

Everyone joins the trip as an individual traveler. You’ll meet people who share an interest in nature, wildlife, adventure and discovering Uganda, while having the opportunity to make new connections along the way.

Share the Costs

Traveling as a small group allows the costs of vehicles, fuel, drivers, guides, and park fees to be shared between the participants. This can make a privately organized safari more accessible while still keeping the group small.

Local Knowledge & Support

Our local team knows Uganda and its different regions well. From planning the route to arranging accommodation, transport and activities, we take care of the logistics so you can focus on experiencing the country.

FAQ – Solo Travelers Group Safari Uganda

Q1: Can solo travelers join a group safari in Uganda?
Yes. Our “Singles Group Safari” allows solo travelers to join a small group of like-minded adventurers. You’ll enjoy all the excitement of a Uganda safari while sharing the journey with others—without needing to book a private tour.

Q2: What happens if I’m traveling alone but don’t know anyone else in the group?
No problem! You’ll be matched with friendly travelers for the shared experience. Our guides make sure everyone feels included, group dynamics are positive, and you’ll have the chance to meet new people while sharing unforgettable safari moments.

Q3: How many people will be in the singles group safari and what’s the accommodation arrangement?
We keep groups small to ensure personal attention— max 8 solo travelers. Accommodations are shared or twin rooms, unless you opt for single-room occupancy (which may incur a supplement). We’ll confirm the group size and rooming options when you book.

Q4: Will solo travelers pay more (“single supplement”) in a group safari?
For our singles group tours, we aim to keep costs balanced. While some single-occupancy options may carry a supplement, our group model helps distribute costs across participants—making it more affordable than a fully private safari.

Q5: How safe is it to join a group safari as a solo traveler in Uganda?
Your safety is our priority! You’ll be traveling with a professional guide in a 4×4 safari vehicle, staying in booked lodges, and following well-planned itineraries. Our guides are experienced, friendly, and committed to your comfort and safety throughout the safari.

Q6: What if I want to customise part of the group safari?
Absolutely! While the itinerary is shared, we allow flexibility. You can discuss with us prior to the safari about personal preferences—such as earlier wake-ups, extra photography stops, or adding a day of relaxation. We’ll do our best to accommodate within the group schedule.

Q7: What kind of travellers join these singles group safaris?
Our singles groups attract a diverse mix of solo travelers—adventurers, nature lovers, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts—typically aged 30-60. All share a passion for travel, wildlife and meeting new friends in a safe small-group setting.

We work hard to make sure the group shares the most common interests. Therefore we ask to give us am much information about your travel preferences as possible.
