A Women’s Guide To Traveling Africa: How To Stay Safe & Have An Amazing Experience

Here is what real women travelers who used this guide have to say… "I have read many books on international travel for women, and solo travel for women, but this is by far the most practice way I have seen to date to travel Africa as a woman. The section titled "Dealing With (Inappropriate) Men" is alone worth ten times the price of this book!" – Kerri Dabrowski "I read this book once through and started right back at the beginning again! This is valuable information for any woman traveling to Africa. Sarah Smith shares her hard-earned knowledge with the masses." - Ali Malliet "It is a quick read and very valuable information because right now women are traveling Africa for a variety of purposes and need to think differently and add this knowledge to their preparation in order to survive! Thanks Sarah for putting this in so many people's hands!" - Sally Stephens "Sarah Smith is an amazing individual, with a very powerful Africa story. Her story- won me over as I am also volunteering in Africa. You need to get this book! If only to share the same experience. I gained a ton of insights through this book, and I intend to put this new knowledge into practice." - Jennifer Calloway “I read this book before taking a trip to South Africa, Zambia and Tanzania this past January. Although I didn't travel alone (with my girlfriend), the book was still a valuable read for me. I loved her attitude and certainly shared her enthusiasm for all things African. The book is full of practical strategies and getting one in the right mindset for visiting anywhere Africa.” –Tamara Evanko In 2010, after years of dreaming about traveling, I finally did the unthinkable; quit my high paying engineering job in Los Angeles and joined the Peace Corps. For 27 months I served as a Health Volunteer in Zambia. Despite the preconceived notions you may have about what goes on in the Peace Corps--heroism and suffering in the jungles—my years in Zambia were everything I imagined they could be. Backpacking through southern and eastern Africa; white water rafting down the Zambezi River; scuba diving in Mozambique; tripping the light fantastic in Cape Town; and seeing as much of the continent by any means possible, including hitchhiking; sorry mom. Through all these adventures, I learned so much about what to do and what not to do that I wanted to share these hard won lessons with other women who may be dreaming about travelling solo, but aren’t sure where to start.
