Private Safari Tours at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve

What Makes a Private Safari Different
We asked Andy, our Private Tour Guide, to describe what our Private Tours are like:
Discover the splendour of Watatunga Wildlife Reserve with a private safari tour. Located in the heart of lush landscapes, here in Norfolk, the Watatunga Wildlife Reserve offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the stunning beauty of nature. With a rich diversity of flora and fauna, it has become a cherished destination for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Private safaris elevate the experience beyond a standard visit, offering a more intimate connection with the reserve. Designed to cater to your interests and schedule, a private safari is ideal for those seeking a calm, exclusive and deeply immersive wildlife experience.
A Safari Built Around You
One of the key benefits of a private safari at Watatunga is that they allow you to customise your itinerary. Whether you’re keen on bird watching, photography, or learning about the local ecosystem, your guide can cater to your preferences. Private tours allow access to areas of the reserve that may be less suitable for larger groups. This often leads to a more serene experience, enhancing wildlife sightings and creating opportunities for quieter moments of observation.
Expert Guidance, Deeper Insight
Private safaris are led by knowledgeable guides with a deep understanding of Watatunga’s wildlife and habitats. Their guidance can certainly elevate the experience beyond mere observation, offering insights into animal behaviour, plant life, and the wider ecosystem. Watatunga is home to an impressive range of species, making it a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and private tours create space for meaningful discussion, questions, and a deeper appreciation of how the reserve works as a living landscape.
Photography, Observation & Memorable Moments
Private safari tours often emphasise capturing the beauty of the reserve through photography. Guides can help identify prime locations and times for capturing wildlife in action, ensuring you get that perfect shot. Your guide will also be happy to take your camera and compose a shot of you in your vehicle with the backdrop of animals, creating a lasting memory of your visit.
Who Are Private Safaris Perfect For?
Private safaris suit a wide range of visitors looking for an activity in Norfolk. They are especially popular for birthdays and special occasions, smaller personal groups, and local groups who enjoy travelling together on our safari trailers.
Tours may take place in one of our buggies for smaller groups or on our trailers for larger parties, with all guests seated together. Every private safari is fully exclusive to your booking, ensuring the experience remains personal from start to finish.
Groups can range from just one person up to 30 guests, with larger groups accommodated through consecutive tours. Tours last around 90 minutes and follow a similar format to our scheduled buggy tours, but with flexibility in pace and focus where possible.
