One of the biggest decisions travelers face when planning a safari is whether to join a shared tour or book a private safari vehicle. While shared safaris can be suitable for some travelers, private safari vehicles offer a significantly better overall experience. A safari should never feel rushed or restricted by other travelers' preferences — with a private safari vehicle, the entire experience revolves around your interests, schedule and travel style.
