What is the difference between a private safari and a group safari?
Traveling with a group can often be more cost-effective but you are often limited by prescheduled dates and must be willing to travel with strangers. While this has advantages for single travelers especially experience has taught us that most travelers have specific expectations, and if not met, are left disappointed. If a guide with a group is asked to continue on from one animal sighting when others may want to stay and watch, someone is not going to be pleased. Though specific animal sightings can never be guaranteed, at least with a private safari you have control of when to stay and when to go, without input from strangers.
