Honestly, I felt the same way when I started researching solo female travel.
There are a few international options for females but not much. And you have to share accommodations. Not what I had in mine.
I also thought exactly the same thing. Why isn’t there tour operators catering for single people over 50. Definitely a gap in the market.
Contiki caters for the younger generation. There’s tons of backpacking services as well.

Hi Thanks for the suggestion. I have done some research but keep running up to breaks that are - well frankly for ‘older people’ and no disrespect intended at all but it just doesn’t fit me or if you are a male - sex tours! Given that an increasing slice of the population is now solo, doesn’t this register at all with tour operators? On a separate subject I have always wanted to visit South Africa
We are all older on here, this is as good as it gets.
Advice Wise. .

Hi Minx
Thanks for the thought. I have been on YouTube and there is very little to help there as well. Maybe it’s time for an Older Solo Travellers channel?

Thanks Di. But I’m hoping it’s not a lynch mob because singles doesn’t equate to hook up

Hi Spitfire
I am not sure. Just because we are older shouldn’t mean we have to expect limited choice or to be ignored entirely. Maybe I’m still to idealistic lol

Thanks. I have had a look and I don’t think my ‘six pack’ meets what I saw on the site. I think mine is more a wine barrel lol

I’ll share a link to the thread for your convenience as I’m sure you are still finding your way around.
Dear OFF members,
I’m inside the Park. It’s like excruciatingly hot here!
30 degrees during the day and 20 degrees at night! It’s super, super hot! But I love it!
I am sharing some pictures that I took on my phone (so don’t judge:-) ) today. I have a Nikon camera but I left it at Skukuza Rest Camp. This was just a quick drive this afternoon and pictures were taken from inside my vehicle.
