Group trips are great for traveler’s looking to join up with others on safari. From multi-day camping trips to epic steam train journeys and luxury cruises there are many options. These scheduled trips have set departures throughout the year.

Insider’s Tip: A single supplement is the fee solo traveler’s pay to cover the unoccupied half of their accommodations. If you are a single traveler group trips are generally the most cost effective option as they have lower single supplement costs than tailor-made safaris. In fact several of the trips below have no single supplement at all!

Prices below exclude international airfare.

IMPORTANT: Most of the safari lodges and camps we recommend are small, exclusive and dearly sought after. To ensure availability we suggest planning and booking your travel arrangements at least 12 months in advance.
