My only question is specifically for South Africa so hopefully someone will be able to help me …is renting a car really necessary to see places like Kruger NP, Drakensburgs? That really doesn’t appeal to me traveling solo, I think it would be quite boring driving place to place by myself… and I like having the opportunity to meet locals and other tourist. If I meet other travelers who want to split the cost of renting a car/fuel then that would be different but planning my itinerary based on driving doesn’t appeal to me.

I’m also hoping to get some help with figuring out a 3 week itinerary …thanks

Yes, I can help you out. You’ll love Morocco but if it’s the first Arab country you’re visiting, get ready to experience culture shock (in a positive way!). I’ve never been to South Africa but like Tanzania, it’s a popular place to travel in Africa so you should be alright. Of course, you always need to be alert and be aware.. avoid walking alone at night, don’t bring too much cash on you, etc… You can email me if you’re looking for answers on specific questions! offtrackbackpacking@gmail.com

I’m planning my first “real” African trip (been to Egypt and Morocco) this December for 3 weeks! I’m also traveling solo and I think I’ve decided on South Africa and reading others’ suggestions is very helpful.

I am also thinking about backpacking Africa solo. How did your trip go? Is the conclusion that if you are confident backpacking alone in other parts of the world, it’s not much different? I suppose I’m mainly wondering how accessible places are with transport etc. I’m not one for tours either, but I do like to be able to see stuff!

Miranda
