Africa

Africa is both second largest and second most populated continent after Asia but remains largely unexplored by tourists & travelers alike. The reasons are plenty like safety & security issues, unemployment, poverty, lack of infrastructure barring some countries like South Africa & Egypt among many others.

Having said that Africa has some breathtaking solo travel destinations which are favorable even for girls travelling solo. We have curated a list of 8 such solo travel destinations, here you go:

Coffee Bay


Coffee Bay is a small beach town on the Wild Coast in South Africa’s Eastern Cape region, it has a very lazy & backpacker feel to it unlike popular beach spots. Coffee Bay is not very commercialized but has decent backpacker hostels and guest houses which are easy on pocket and make it suitable for solo travelling through Africa for both men & women alike.

Kendwa


You have most probably heard a lot about the Koh Phangan full moon parties but Kendwa is your better alternative to Thailand. The best part about Kendwa beach is its crystal clear deep water fit for swimming throughout the day. Nungwi & Kendwa have long been favorite of solo travelers for its hippie vibes & the presence of both cheap hostels & affordable luxurious resorts make it ideal for girls travelling solo.

P.S. Just in case you do get bored of swimming in turquoise water you can head over for a Zanzibar Wild Safari.
