And I went to a group safari before I went to this private one, and must say it's absolutely worth doing a private safari, so you actually get to see the animals you want to see. In this park it might be rare to see lions, but you can see so many elephants, zebras, giraffes and other animals even up close. The people in the local tribe were lovely.
