Cost-Effective

Travelling alone can be expensive, so one of the great advantages of group travel is that you have other people to share the cost of things like safaris and activities. A safari for 1 or 2 people is more expensive than a safari for 5 or 6 people. Of course, paying for a group tour, you need to account for the fact that someone else is doing all the work for you, so you’ll need to pay for the privilege, but for some things, travelling in a group is the best way.

You’re Never Lonely

Africa can be a lonely place to travel in at times. You’ll often meet people in hostels/Travelling solo or in a small private tour may sound safe and comfortable But Being in a group travel is quite different and far more enjoyable. Here are some reason as why you should consider group travel to Tanzanialodges/campsites, but if you’re travelling on your own, you can’t always guarantee that you will make friends to travel with for every part of your journey. Joining a group means that you’ll have other people to hang out with from the get-go. Plus, there’ll always be someone to have your back. When joining a tour, you’ll likely meet some new, like-minded friends who are just as passionate about travel as you are. And if you don’t have people like this in your life already, it’s such a breath of fresh air! Finally, someone who gets me!
