Well, I don't know. But I remember that if you want to see a lot of wild animals in a safari, you need: a good guide, a good planning, and luck.
The guide will know where and when the animals go for drinking, e.g. He will know that a dark spot on the horizon is not some trees, but a herd of animals, .... In fact, it was possible to rent a jeep and visit a park on his own: but I am sure that you don't see a lot of animals this way.
The best moments to catch animals in action is either very early, or at the end of the afternoon. The drawback is that it is not very good for photography, as there is little light at these times.
And then luck. When we visited our first park, Samburu, we saw immediately a number of lions, elephants, giraffes, ..., and we thought that it was rather normal in a safari park. And then we met other tourists, in their own minibus, who asked us if there were elephants nearby: they were in their 3rd park, and had not seen any yet!
