No.
What *minimum* 2 people means is that the tour won't run for one person, but
will run if there are only two people. It doesn't imply a private tour: just
that if you're lucky enough to be the only two people on the tour it will
still run. You could still have six people for the same price.
In fact, I don't even see a guarantee that there won't be more than six
people on the trip (the formula for that is "every passenger
guaranteed a window seat and access to the roof hatch)
However, I believe Southern Cross is a reliable company, dealing mostly with
Americans. I've often met their safari parties when travelling and haven't
heard of problems with them.
