Yes, but they are not the standard format. Out of the 25 options we compare, only 4 (16%) are tagged as private tours. The vast majority (88%) are guided group tours. If you prefer a bespoke experience without sharing the vehicle or guide with strangers, you will need to filter specifically for those private listings.

Tours are generally available in English, French, German, and Dutch. Since English is widely spoken in South Africa, it is the most common language for the larger group tours, but multilingual guides are available if you check the specific listing details before booking.
