If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve either travelled solo before or you’re gearing up for one of the most exciting adventures of your life: solo travel in Tanzania. And who could blame you? Travelling alone means doing what you want, when you want: total freedom. And if you’ve never hauled your backpack through an African country on your own, Tanzania is the perfect place to start.

The locals are warm and welcoming, English is widely spoken both in tourist hotspots and sometimes even far beyond, and the infrastructure is solid. And then there’s, of course, the scenery, the wildlife, the mountains, the beaches… we could rave about it forever.

In this guide, we’ll explore the best spots and experiences for solo travellers in Tanzania, share tips to help you prepare, and even give you an idea that might open up a whole new world of possibilities.
