Whether you want to explore alongside other women or have your own dream trip in mind, we arrange everything so all you have to do is enjoy it.
Arrive alone, leave with lifelong friends.
For women who love to travel but would rather not go completely solo. You travel in a small group of women with shared interests.
You dream it, we organise it.
For women who want freedom without the planning stress. On your own, with your partner, with friends, or with your mother or daughter.
You don't need a travel buddy. You just need the courage to say yes.
The trip of a lifetime without the stress of planning it.
Time together for adventure and memories that last.
Your next chapter starts here.
Nine days through the most beautiful part of South Africa. You go on safari on the edge of Kruger National Park, find real calm in Hazyview, drive the breathtaking Panorama Route and end in style in Hoedspruit.
You land at Hoedspruit Eastgate Airport, right in the bush. After a personal welcome and a short transfer, you check in to an atmospheric boutique hotel and meet the group over welcome drinks and dinner together.
Included: Transfer, dinner
Two nights at a 5-star lodge in a private game reserve on the edge of Kruger National Park. Twice a day you head out in an open vehicle to look for elephants, lions and rhinos, with coffee in the bush and sundowners at dusk. In between, there's time by the pool.
Included: All meals, two game drives a day
Three nights in your own luxury tent surrounded by green. You decide how to spend the day: a massage or facial at the spa, or a good book by the pool. You also visit a macadamia farm, with a tasting.
Included: All meals, spa treatment, macadamia farm tour
One of the most beautiful drives in the world: God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes and the Three Rondavels above the Blyde River Canyon. In the evening you arrive at your hotel in Hoedspruit.
Included: Transport, entrance fees, lunch, dinner
A shared activity with the group, time for yourself and a farewell dinner. On day 9 we take you to the airport in good time for your flight.
Included: All meals, activity, airport transfer
The programme may shift slightly on the ground depending on the weather, wildlife sightings and the wishes of the group.

Absolutely. Our group trips are designed for women travelling alone. You have your own room or tent and a group around you from day one.

Ask your travel clinic or GP for advice. The safari area around Kruger National Park is a malaria area, so ask about malaria prevention too.
