A night game drive gives you the rare chance to witness the mysterious, thrilling world of wildlife after sunset. This is when the bush comes alive in a completely different way – quiet, shadowy, and full of surprises.
What Happens on a Night Game Drive?
Explore the Wild Under the Stars
As daylight fades, you’ll head out in a specially equipped safari vehicle with spotlights, guided by a professional ranger who knows exactly where to look and listen.
See Nocturnal Animals in Action
This is your chance to spot animals that hide during the day – like porcupines, bush babies, genets, civets, and aardvarks. If you’re lucky, you might even catch predators like lions, leopards, or hyenas on the move or hunting under the cover of darkness.
A Completely Different Vibe
The sounds, the cool breeze, the darkness – it all adds up to a thrilling, almost magical atmosphere. You’ll hear owls calling, insects buzzing, and the distant roar of a lion or laugh of a hyena echoing through the night.
A Sky Full of Stars
Away from city lights, the African night sky is breathtaking. On clear nights, you can see a blanket of stars, constellations, and even the Milky Way stretching across the sky.
