Girls just wanna bond on safari.
Safari & the Girls
An 8-Day Luxury Expedition for Women
After my solo trips to Tanzania, I strongly needed to bring many more pairs of eyes to discover this beautiful country. The landscapes, the wildlife, and the vibrant culture touched me deeply – and I knew it was something too special not to keep to myself. That’s why I created Safari & the Girls, a journey for women to bond, explore, and give back while uncovering the true heart of Tanzania.
Grab your closest friend, sister, or travel partner and bond in style on this unforgettable journey with Isaba Safari Adventures. Tanzania, crowned Africa’s Leading Destination 2025 and winner of 27 World Travel Awards, offers the perfect backdrop for adventure and connection.
Enjoy thrilling game drives, a glamping night at Arusha Safari Lodge among zebras, giraffes, and elands, and authentic cultural encounters. You’ll also give back by partnering with Perfect Vision Women Tanzania, a non-profit dedicated to empowering women and girls. Share your skills, learn local crafts like soap-making and sewing, and join inspiring mentorship work.
Safari & the Girls is for women who want to travel with purpose, strengthen bonds, and discover the beauty and soul of Africa in unforgettable style.
