About this experience
If you are an adventurous type looking for something that’s decidedly out of the ordinary you owe it to yourself to try one of our Night Game Drives. This safari not only lets you experience a day game drive but also a night game drives which provides the other side of the safari coin.
After the sun goes down the character of the plains changes completely as many animals hunker down for the night and others emerge. Aardvarks, porcupines, civet cats and other nocturnal animals begin their nightly foraging and hunting rituals, but they’re not alone. Hippos typically leave the water at night and saunter up onto the plains to graze. While many of the big cats you will see lounging around in the shade during the day also become active at night. It is not unusual to witness lions or leopards aggressively pursuing zebra, wildebeest and other large mammals on one of our Night Game Drives.
