Yes, private tours are available but represent a smaller segment of the market. Only about 15% of the options we compare (roughly 2 listings) are private tours, whereas the majority (69%) are group tours. Private options offer personalized guides and flexible schedules, while group tours provide a social atmosphere and often benefit from shared vehicle costs.

Inclusions vary by provider, but most comprehensive packages cover several key elements. Roughly half of the options include accommodation and meals, while nearly half also feature a professional guide. Entry tickets to the park are included in about 38% of the tours. It is important to check specific listings to confirm if game drives are conducted in open vehicles or enclosed cars, as transport methods range from 4x4 vehicles to standard cars.

Guides are available in five main languages: English, Italian, Spanish, German, and French. English-speaking guides are the standard for most international operators, but if you require instruction in one of the other four languages, you should filter your search accordingly, as availability may be limited to specific providers.

Booking ahead is highly recommended for this experience due to its remote nature and limited daily capacity.
