Discover the Secrets of the African Night
A night game drive adds a thrilling dimension to your safari—unveiling the mysterious world of nocturnal wildlife that remains hidden during the day. As darkness falls over the savannah, the landscape transforms, and a whole new cast of characters emerges under the cover of night.
See rare nocturnal wildlife not active during the day
Gain new insights into animal behavior and survival strategies after dark
Enjoy a quieter, more intimate safari experience without the daytime crowds
Night drives are only permitted in certain parks and private conservancies, such as Tarangire National Park, offering a rare and exclusive opportunity to explore after dark.
What to Expect
Set out in a specially equipped open safari vehicle with a spotlight and expert guide, and witness the African bush come alive after sunset. The cool night air carries the sounds of chirping insects and distant roars, while glowing eyes reflect back from the shadows as animals cross your path.
Your guide will help you spot and identify elusive night species, such as:
Bush babies leaping between trees
Civet cats and genets prowling in silence
Porcupines, shy but active after dark
Lions and leopards beginning their nightly hunts
Owls and other nocturnal birds in flight
