Safari for solo traveller?
Hello,
Was hoping for a bit of advice here. I've just recently become single again but have two weeks off in Sept. Me and my girlfriend were going to go to Yosemite to go camping and hiking but I don't really fancy doing that on my own at the moment. I was hoping for some references to organizations or places that specialize in grouping singles together for activity holidays. I was thinking along the lines of a South African safari with a lot of walking and exercise included. I'm not looking for a dating group or a Hedonism kind of place, just some way to get away from work for two weeks, have a good holiday and a great experience. Any pointers in the right direction to find such places/companies? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Shawn |

Try this company in South Africa: http://www.drifters.com/ They don't specially cater for singles but have mixed groups of young people. Before I met my wife, I also travelled with them a few times and had a great time being on my own in a group.

Traveling in Africa is great fun by yourself. Be willing to sit with
strangers and let them sit with you. It is a very friendly place and you will meet interesting people at every turn. "ShawnD2112" wrote in message ... Hello, Was hoping for a bit of advice here.

Maybe try emailing this guy, Carl, he is trying to set up a conservation
thing in South Africa, the website is www.trackafrica.com or just email him direct, and see what you can sort out. I had a brilliant safari with him, lots of walking, sleep outs all kinds of good stuff "ShawnD2112" wrote in message ... Hello, Was hoping for a bit of advice here.
