Group Safari vs Private Safari in Tanzania: What’s Right for You?
Mandari Travel Helps You Choose the Perfect Safari Style
Embarking on a Tanzania safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is whether to book a group safari or a private safari. Both options offer incredible wildlife encounters, but the experience can feel very different depending on which style you choose.
At Mandari Travel, we offer both group and private safari tours — designed with comfort, flexibility, and unforgettable moments in mind. Here’s how to decide which is right for you.
What is a Group Safari?
A group safari is a shared tour where you join other travelers on a pre-planned itinerary. You’ll share the vehicle, guide, and accommodations with a small group, often 4–6 people.
Pros of Group Safaris:
- Cost-effective – Lower per-person price, perfect for budget travelers
- Social experience – Meet and bond with other safari-goers
- Fixed itineraries – Easy to plan with set departure dates
Things to Consider:
- Less flexibility – Set schedule and limited room for personalization
- Shared pace – Everyone in the group must agree on timing for stops, photos, etc.
- Limited privacy – Ideal for sociable travelers but not for those seeking solitude
Group safaris are great for solo travelers, backpackers, and small groups of friends looking to keep costs low while enjoying the full safari experience.
What is a Private Safari?
A private safari is exclusively tailored for you — whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, with family, or a small group. You have a private vehicle, personal guide, and total control over your itinerary.
Pros of Private Safaris:
- Total flexibility – Choose your own pace, stops, and activities
- Personalized service – Your guide focuses only on your group
- Custom itineraries – Combine parks, cultural visits, and even beach escapes
- Perfect for special occasions – Honeymoons, anniversaries, family trips
Things to Consider:
- Higher cost – You’re covering the cost of the vehicle, guide, and accommodations
- More planning involved – But Mandari Travel handles it all for you!
Private safaris are ideal for couples, families with children, photographers, and those who value comfort, control, and exclusivity.
