Experience ancient history and modern luxury in EgyptSingle and ready to mingle with the world? Allow these Culture Trips to act as your suitor.

There’s no “I” in adventure – unless you’re joining one of our trips to these amazing adventure travel destinations. These immersive journeys are ideal for single travellers looking to experience more than just the major cities and tourist tracks of a country. Go beyond Kathmandu into Nepal’s wilderness; see every side of Ecuador from the Andes to the Amazon; embark on the safari of a lifetime in South Africa. All this and more with a handful of fellow explorers by your side.

Raft through rainforest and swing from the trees in Ecuador

Why choose between the Andes and the Amazon when our Adventurous Ecuador trip lets you see both? Eight days will simultaneously fly by and freeze you in forever-long moments as you go whitewater rafting through the rainforest, ride through Cotopaxi National Park on horseback and swing from a mountaintop treehouse. These memories will linger in your mind even longer than the local chocolate lingers on your tongue. Still not long enough though…

Spot the Big Five on a luxury safari in South Africa

Travelling solo in South Africa can be a nightmare, so our Splendid South Africa trip is ideal for solo explorers who want squeeze Cape Town, the Winelands, coastlines and game reserves into one incredible adventure. We start in Cape Town, where we’ll ascent Table Mountain by cable car and take a Cape Malay cooking class in Bo Kaap. We’ll continue on a journey along the Garden Route’s incredible natural treasures – from incredible limestone caves to luscious national parks, pretty coastal towns and sprawling vineyards – until we eventually reach the highlight of our trip, two nights at a truly stunning luxury game reserve. Here we’ll embark on four game drives as we attempt to complete the Big Five, but there’ll also be time to enjoy the reserves spa, pools, outdoor dining and much, much more. Who knows, an elephant or two might even pop out from the trees to join us for dinner.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way.

Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
