Solo travel experience
I spent 8 days solo in Kenya last September and had an amazing time. Never did I feel unsafe. Spent 3 days on a safari in the Masai Mara Reserve, went to the Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Center, Nairobi Museum, and shopping downtown. Had an amazing private guide the whole time.
Posted: August 2, 2023Solo travel experience
Had a wonderful time solo in Nairobi, Mara and Mombasa. Never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. Just took the usual tips of being aware of my surroundings and trying not to stick out any more than necessary. Had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful country and lovely people of Kenya.
Posted: July 31, 2023Solo travel experience
I went to Kenya for 2 weeks. The first week, I joined a group safari tour to visit Maasai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha. Then on the second week, I continued my trip alone to Mombasa, Diani Beach, and Kilifi. I felt safe there, however, I was advised not to wander alone during the night. The hostel I stayed in Diani Beach insisted that I was accompanied across the street to the restaurant for dinner.
