The main difference is the group size. Single tours are for individuals, while shared tours are for small groups, typically 4 or more participants. The choice between the two depends on your preference for solitude or a shared adventure with fellow travelers, as well as your budget considerations. Alongside that, if other travellers from different places in Johannesburg have booked for the same tour - the tour will become a group therefore shared prices will be charged.
