Deciding between a group or private safari depends on what you like. Small group safaris with 6-12 others are more social, affordable. Joining a planned trip means no scheduling yourself.
Groups led by expert guides provide safety and company. But you must follow the set schedule and sights. Private safaris for just your party offer more flexibility.
You pick activities, pace and custom experiences without others affecting yours. Interacting with guides is more one-on-one. But private safaris cost a lot more.
Think about priorities – cost, being with others, flexibility. Discuss options with a safari company to decide which style suits you.
