Drinking in the wild -private journey vs group tour-Luxury Africa Safaris with Forth & Wonder

Why choose a Private African Journey over a Group Tour?

For discerning travellers in search of an authentic and unforgettable African adventure, a private journey offers distinct advantages over traditional group tours. While group tours may appear attractive with their set itineraries and pricing, the reality is that a private journey can deliver a significantly richer and more rewarding travel experience on many levels.

Unparalleled personalisation

Instead of following a fixed and generic itinerary, private journeys are meticulously crafted to align perfectly with your individual preferences, interests, and pace. Are you a wildlife enthusiast eager to track elusive leopards? A cultural explorer fascinated by local traditions? An adventure seeker yearning for off-the-beaten-path experiences? A private journey allows you to prioritise your interests and passions.

Freedom to choose your own departure dates, spend as much or as little time as you desire in each destination or experience and maximise your budget where it matters most to you.

Enhanced Comfort and Convenience

Travel in comfort and style with a private vehicle, avoiding the potential discomfort of larger vehicles and travel delays associated with group transportation.

Benefit from the flexibility to pause at your leisure—whether to capture the perfect photograph, observe wildlife in its natural habitat, or simply take in the scenery at your own pace.

Benefit from personalised service and the undivided attention of your own private guide.

Enhanced Privacy and Exclusivity

Avoid the crowds and benefit from exclusive access to hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path experiences. Visit remote wildlife reserves, explore lesser-known cultural sites, and relish intimate encounters with local communities.

Enjoy the tranquillity and privacy of your own accommodations and travel arrangements, free from the distractions and potential disruptions of group travel.

Competitive Pricing

Contrary to popular belief, private journeys are often competitively priced compared to comparable group tours. We carefully curate itineraries that offer exceptional value for money while ensuring an unmatched travel experience.

Social Interaction

While group tours may offer more structured social interaction, private journeys provide ample opportunities to connect with local people and other travellers at your own pace. All safari lodges and camps have the ability to socialise with fellow travellers at sunset drinks, around the campfires, or choose to join shared dining arrangements. You have the flexibility to choose your own level of social interaction, enjoying moments of solitude and introspection when desired.
