Group Joining Safari

Join a small scheduled group to share the vehicle and the cost — the friendly, affordable way to safari, especially for solo travellers and couples.

Experience Guide

A group-joining safari pairs you with a small group of other travellers — typically four to six — sharing one vehicle and guide on a set departure date. Splitting the fixed costs of the vehicle, fuel, and guide makes it the most economical way to do a lodge or camping safari without sacrificing the parks themselves.

It’s sociable and easy: you meet like-minded travellers from around the world, and many guests leave with new friends. Departures run on fixed dates, so it works best if your travel dates are flexible.

Is It Worth It?

Group-joining is the best way to keep costs down, especially for solo travellers who'd otherwise pay a single supplement. The trade-off is less control — you share the pace and seat rotation with others. If flexibility or photography matters most, choose a private trip instead.

Good to Know

  • Fixed departure dates — flexibility helps
  • Window seats rotate among the group
  • No single supplement — ideal for solo travel
  • Group size capped for comfort
