Groups range from 2-8 travelers, with most trips running around 4-6 guests per vehicle for a more personal feel. Small numbers mean you get better wildlife spotting in Kruger's open safari vehicles, and your guide can adjust morning drives to track nocturnal predators and pause for rusks at nice viewpoints.
