Travel Solo Together With Other Solo Female Travelers

A safari in East Africa is a great choice for female solo travelers to experience an incredible, empowering adventure.

East Africa is a great place to get out of your comfort zone by traveling solo on a private tour or in a small group with other like-minded men and women who love adventure travel. Come meet new people, make new friends, and see the best destinations in Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda with Nature in Spirit.

Why Travel the World Solo?

Traveling solo as a woman is an empowering way to experience the world on your terms. You have complete freedom over your travel plans, deciding where to go and what you want to do. This independence can lead to increased confidence and self discovery. Solo female travellers can also gain a deeper appreciation for different cultures, learning from and positively impacting the women they meet along the way.

Small Group, Big Fun

While many solo travelers want to see the world on a solo trip, they often prefer to join small groups of fellow travelers. A small group safari adventure is the perfect way to travel solo while also making new friends. Let Nature in Spirit do the planning for you, so you’re sure to see the best destinations on an East African safari that will create memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

Hot Air Balloon Safari

tntfactory — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 09:37:40 +0000

Fly Above Africa’s Wildlife on a Balloon Safari

A hot air balloon ride is one of the most magical ways to experience the African wilderness. Float above wide-open plains, wild animals, and stunning scenery.

Experience the thrill of a hot air balloon safari during your Tanzania safari or visit to the Maasai Mara in Kenya. At sunrise, take the skies and watch the African plains come alive. From above, you can spot herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, and even lions as they roam freely. It’s a peaceful yet unforgettable adventure—especially during the Great Wildebeest Migration, when the plains are filled with life and movement. This is one of the most exciting and memorable parts of any safari.

Why Take a Balloon Safari?

A View Like No Other

Seeing the African landscape from the skies on a balloon is a breathtaking experience. You’ll float gently over the plains as the sun rises, watching wildlife from a safe and peaceful height. It’s one of the unique ways to feel connected to nature without disturbing it.

Fly at Dawn, Spot the Wild

Your balloon ride begins just before dawn at the launch site—just like an early morning game drive. This timing is perfect for spotting nocturnal animals such as lions, leopards, and hyenas as they finish their nightly hunts. After a short safety briefing, you’ll gently lift off for a breathtaking bird’s eye view of the wild. The flight lasts around 45–60 minutes, giving you time to fully enjoy the sunrise and the vast beauty below. After landing, celebrate this unforgettable experience with a Champagne breakfast served in the bush.

Perfect for Any Safari

Whether you’re visiting Serengeti National Park, Tarangire, or the Maasai Mara, a hot air balloon safari adds something truly special. It fits perfectly into your Tanzania safari or Kenya Safari in Maasai Mara game reserve, and it’s an experience people of all ages can enjoy.

The Great Wildebeest Migration

tntfactory — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 11:13:34 +0000

The Great Wildebeest Migration: The Greatest Show on Earth

Experience one of the greatest wonders of the natural world when millions of wildebeest migrate from Tanzania's Serengeti to Kenya's Masai Mara reserve.

Choose your trip

The Serengeti’s great wildebeest migration is the largest and longest animal migrations in the world. An incredible wildlife spectacle, each year 1.5 to 2 million or more wildebeest, gazelles, zebra, eland, and impalas graze north across the Serengeti plains to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Dramatic river crossings set the stage for intense wildlife drama when wildebeest must evade the crocodiles, big cats, and hyenas lying in wait to take down slow or weakened prey.

Choose Your Serengeti Safari Adventure

Nature in Spirit offers three Serengeti safaris. Come experience the wildebeest calving season or the spectacular migration of thousands of wildebeest. Or come any time for an incredible wildlife adventure!

8-Day Great Migration Mara River Serengeti Safari

Destinations: Arusha, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Mto Wa Mbu, and Tarangire National Park

Witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti during the fall when millions of wildebeests and zebras brave the perilous Mara River crossing. Search for the Big Five in the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, discover the vibrant Mto Wa Mbu culture, and see the towering baobabs and massive elephant herds of Tarangire National Park.

8-Day Great Migration Calving Season Serengeti Safari

Destinations: Arusha, Serengeti National Park, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park

Experience the thrill of the Great Migration calving season in the Serengeti, where over 500,000 wildebeest are born within just a few weeks from January through March on the vast, green plains. This breathtaking event draws stealthy predators—lions, cheetahs, and hyenas—setting the stage for intense wildlife drama and unmatched photographic moments.

8-Day Highlights of Northern Tanzania Safari

Destinations: Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Mto Wa Mbu, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater

Come on a safari that offers the ultimate Tanzania experience. Start your trip with a warm welcome in Arusha. Chase the Big Five in iconic destinations like the Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, including an exciting night game drive in Tarangire. Immerse yourself in Maasai culture and visit with local artisans to round out your unforgettable adventure.

What's the best time to visit the Serengeti?

Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park is incredible to visit any time. Two wildlife spectacles stand out, however.

January to March: Each year, up to 500,000 wildebeest calves are born on the plains of the Southern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, near Ndutu.

August to October: The Serengeti migration in Northern Tanzania happens during the rainy season when millions of wildebeest and other animals search for green pasture and water.

The Serengeti Calving Season

The shorter grasses in the Southern Serengeti make it the perfect place for calving. The wide-open plains provide security since the herds can easily see the predators and protect their calves. In April and May, you can see resident cats try to prey on the calves as they expand their range, creating dramatic wildlife moments.

The Great Migration in Tanzania

Come August, the massive herd of wildebeest is now moving across the northern Serengeti to the Maasai Mara in search of fresh grazing. The migrating animal must cross the Mara River, offering the best chance to see dramatic predatory interactions with including lions, alligators, cheetahs, and leopards attacking the young and feeble of the migrating herds.
