Some would prefer to start safari early and finish late while others would prefer to start not early and finish early or any time when they are tired. So due to this factor, you might miss some good experiences. The big advantage for joining safari is that, the cost is always lower as you share a safari Jeep compared to a private safari that is expensive.
