    Audrey

    Asked on August 18th, 2026

    Is it possible that there won't be any other travellers apart from the six of us? Would a guided tour in German also be possible?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • The Mzansi ExperienceOperator•Written August 2026

      This tour is a shared tour. Meaning that you will be on safari with other travelers. All of the activities included in this package is outsourced. Unfortunately, a German guide cannot be provided for this package. We do, however, have an alternative package where we can possibly assist with a German guide and have the game drives be private. The lodge is at a different location than this package.

    • The Mzansi ExperienceOperator•Written August 2026

      I have checked with the alternative lodge for your request, and they do have a minimum required to make the tour private. The minimum requirement is 8 pax. Even if we do make the tour private, you will need to pay for 8 pax, making it even more expensive than it should be. We do have another alternative option with a private safari, but no German-speaking translator will be provided.

      Audrey

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      would the safari take place in an open-top vehicle? That's quite important to us.

    • The Mzansi ExperienceOperator•Written August 2026

      The safari vehicle will be open sided with a roof covering you.
