Shared safari
You travel with other guests in a 4x4 and follow a set schedule. It is excellent value and a good way to meet people. Pickup times are fixed and group sizes vary.
Private safari
You have your own vehicle and driver, with flexible timing and stops. It is ideal for families, couples, celebrations or anyone who wants a relaxed pace.
- Choose your pickup time
- Stop where you like
- Customise the route
Which one suits you?
Choose shared if you are on a budget or travelling solo. Choose private for groups of three or more, special occasions or if you want privacy and flexibility.
Check the details
Ask what is included — water, refreshments, sandboarding, camel ride — and how many guests share each vehicle.
