The choice between a private and a group safari comes down to flexibility versus cost. Here is a plain comparison.
Private safari
Your group has its own 4×4 and guide. You choose when to start, how long to stay at a sighting and when to rest. It suits couples, families and anyone who wants to set the pace. Every Let’s Wander trip is private by default. See our private Tanzania safaris, from $1,250 for 3 days.
Group or joining safari
A joining safari shares the vehicle and the cost with other travellers, so the price per person is lower. The dates and itinerary are fixed. We offer group-joining options on selected dates, for example small groups of up to 6 travellers on a Northern Circuit safari. You can see current departures on our homepage.
Which should you choose?
- Choose private if you travel with children, want flexibility or have specific interests such as photography.
- Choose group if budget is the priority and your dates match a departure.
Questions to ask any operator
Is the vehicle really private? How many people are in it? What is included? Is the company licensed? We hold TALA licence No. 036127. Read the best safari for first-time visitors for next steps.
