Not fully understanding
the drawbacks of a
group safari tour


Crowding

Your vehicle may be crammed. Not only will this be uncomfortable, it will obstruct your panoramic view while seated.


Pop-up-roof time

If your vehicle has a pop-up roof, use may be on a rotating - therefore limited - basis. And, if not, other passengers may elbow you to get the best photographing position.


Lower-quality guides

Group tour driver-guides are generally less friendly, accommodating, articulate and knowledgeable than private tour safari guides. They are more likely to recite dull memorized spiels instead of spontaneously tailored commentary. 


Undesirable vehicle mates

You risk suffering travelers who, for example, incessantly talk, argue, tell bad jokes, or irritatingly laugh.
