Why Kudu Travel is the Perfect Choice for Your Solo Walking Holiday
If you're a solo traveller with a passion for walking, discovery, and culture, a solo walking holiday with Kudu Travel might be exactly what you're looking for. With small group sizes, carefully organised itineraries, and expert guides, Kudu creates unforgettable holidays for solo travellers that go far beyond the typical tourist experience.
Solo Walking Holidays: Going on holiday alone doesn't have to mean travelling alone.
Our company name, Kudu, is inspired by the elegant antelope of southern Africa, known for roaming widely in small groups and blending harmoniously into their surroundings. Much like the animal, Kudu Travel's holidays are about adaptability, discovery, and connection - with nature, with culture, and with fellow travellers.
Going on holiday alone doesn't have to mean travelling alone. We offer carefully crafted small group holidays for solo travellers, combining the freedom of solo travel with the companionship of like-minded people, many of whom are also travelling solo. Our tours are typically made up of 6-12 guests, creating a sociable and relaxed group dynamic without the overwhelm of a large group.
Our groups typically consist of well-travelled individuals from across Britain, Ireland, Europe, North America, South Africa, and beyond. The shared love for walking, nature, and culture fosters a welcoming and stimulating environment, ideal for the solo travellers.
Accommodation on our Small Group Walking Holidays
Accommodation is chosen for charm, comfort, and local character, often boutique hotels and guesthouses. While single supplements may apply, solo travellers can usually choose single rooms or, when available, upgrade to a twin room for sole use. Just call us when you are ready to book and we can advise whether we have these room types available.
Expert Guides
All Kudu trips are led by knowledgeable and engaging tour leaders who ensure a seamless travel experience. You’ll enjoy expertly guided walks, cultural excursions, and plenty of opportunities to relax and socialise - all without the stress of planning.
These holidays are ideal for solo travellers looking to go beyond the surface of a destination. Kudu’s itineraries are handpicked to include off-the-beaten-track locations, from quiet mountain villages to lively markets and historical cities.
