Sundowners with Lucille

By Jordan Knoll

After experiencing wonderful game sightings on the Serengeti at the beginning of my safari in Tanzania, I wondered how other areas, such as Lake Ndutu and Ngorongoro Crater, could possibly compare. I didn’t have to worry. I was absolutely blown away by what I experienced in both Ndutu and Ngorongoro: the awesome landscapes and the diverse wildlife made the second leg of my Tanzania trip just as memorable as the first.

I thought I was prepared for my first African safari in Tanzania—I packed light, brought a good camera, and was ready to become very familiar with my safari vehicle, where I would be spending many hours watching animals. But what I wasn’t prepared for was the feeling of being on safari. It’s difficult to describe, but when you are sitting in your safari vehicle, mere feet away from a lion out on the Serengeti, you feel both tremendously excited and calm. Time seems to slow down, and you acquire a deep sense of connection to the natural world around you that is truly unique. It’s an experience I will never forget, and one that I am delighted to be sharing in this new series of blog posts.

As a woman who regularly travels alone, I am not unique! Whether it is for business or pleasure, thousands of women travel solo every year. While all travelers should take precautions, women travelers are a distinct demographic in terms of their safety.  Couples or groups have safety in numbers, while single women are easier targets than men for theft and harassment and are exposed to gender inequality prevalent in many countries.

Vacationing can be hard work, so it’s important to take moments out of your busy schedule to sit back, relax, and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. Perhaps you’ve spent your morning trekking to the top of Table Mountain and now you’re looking for a way to unwind before you head out on your next excursion. What better way to refresh than to enjoy a peaceful and elegant high tea experience? Cape Town has plenty of excellent options available, but we’ve narrowed down our selection to our 4 favorites.
