Still, it would be best if you did not overlook the continent. Travelling solo is a great way to see the continent without worrying about the structure of the trip. If you\u2019re travelling alone in Africa, you need reliable, up to date information and taking sensible precautions. All tours in Africa are inclusive accommodations, so you do not need to carry a sleeping bag! As a solo passenger, most probably you will be sharing your hotel room or permanent tent with someone of the same gender, that gives you a chance to make new friends as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"has-text-color has-text-align-justify\">Plan well and choose your tour expert carefully. Africa will reward you more abundantly than you can ever imagine as travelling alone in Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>The top tips to help plan your adventure.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\">Check your treatments\/vaccinations before you go to Africa<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"has-text-color has-text-align-justify\">It is necessary to take specific treatments to enter the country.

Take a taxi even for short journeys.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\">Be cautious always about using a licensed taxi or one recommended by your accommodation. In major      African cities, you can use an Uber.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\">Try to travel in the day time; The street lights are often dim lit in the night and accidents are known to occur due to the potholes in the streets. There have also been some incidences of carjackings, mainly at night, in major South African cities.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\">Don\u2019t drink alcohol excessively or leave your drinks unattended.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\">Always listen to your guides, especially when staying in a national park \u2013 wild animals are everywhere, and you have to respect that you are in their territory.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\">In big cities, do the dummy wallet trick: Keep a small amount of cash and some cancelled cards in your purse so that if someone demands it, you can easily hand it over, and keep the rest hidden with you or locked in the hotel safe.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\">Don\u2019t wear expensive or flashy jewellery. Please take caution when looking at your phone in public, it\u2019ll draw attention.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\">It\u2019s essential to respect the local culture and dress appropriately, covering shoulders, cleavage, and legs in some places such as Zanzibar, much of Tanzania, and most of northern Africa, including Morocco.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>Getting around:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"has-text-color has-text-align-justify\">Getting around is easy in some parts of Africa, thanks to great options\nfor backpackers, like Baz Bus or cheap car rentals in South Africa.

In Mozambique, for example, the local minibuses have bald tires,\npack in way more people than they have seats for, they pull over regularly, so\ntrips take very long and its quite tiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"has-text-color has-text-align-justify\">You can still rent a car with or without a driver, but that gets expensive once you go out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/flights\/africa\/south-africa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"South Africa (opens in a new tab)\"><strong><span style=\"color:#0693e3\" class=\"tadv-color\">South Africa<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.
