Small-Group Safari

Join a set departure with a handful of other travellers on a fixed route and dates.

The Shape of the Trip

What a small-group safari is like

🧭

What it's like

You share a vehicle and guide with a small group — usually no more than six or seven — on a scheduled itinerary. Everyone gets a window seat. It is the most economical way to do a full northern-circuit safari and an easy way to travel if you are on your own.

🎯

Best for

Solo travellers, couples happy to share, and budget-conscious first-timers who want a full safari without the cost of a private vehicle.

🛏️

Where you'll stay

Comfortable mid-range lodges and tented camps on the northern circuit, in twin or double rooms. Solo travellers are usually paired with someone of the same gender, or can pay a single supplement for a room of their own.

💡

Good to know

Departures are on fixed dates, so check the calendar before booking flights. Group size is capped so nobody is stuck in a middle seat. If the dates don't work or you'd rather not share, the same route runs as a private trip.
