Is Suriname safe for solo female travelers?

Suriname is relatively safe for solo female travelers, with a generally welcoming and friendly local population. However, as with any destination, it is important to stay vigilant, especially in crowded places or when out at night. Few may experience minor harassment or overly friendly attention, so maintaining assertiveness is key. Always use registered taxis and avoid less popular tourist areas after dark. Be mindful that English is not widely spoken outside of the capital.

Suriname, Solo travel

The trips to the Jungle are amazing! Here, you can sleep for several nights in a hammock and go on large hikes. In the middle of the Jungle, there are villages where we will play volleyball with the local population. The life there is wonderful!

Paramaribo, Solo travel

The city itself is on daytime quite safe and normal, the only thing is that of you are white the men on the street Will call you names and whistle. I would not recommend to go outside by night by yourself because then it gets a little shady
