Night Game Drive

As the sun dips below the horizon, a different kind of safari adventure begins. The African bush transforms into a realm teeming with creatures rarely seen during the day:

  • Predators on the Prowl: Witness lions emerge from the shadows, their amber eyes gleaming in the spotlight, as they stalk their prey under the cloak of darkness.
  • Nocturnal Wonders: Spot elusive creatures like aardvarks, springhares, and bat-eared foxes, active only after sunset when the day’s heat subsides.
  • Unique Behaviors: Observe the fascinating adaptation of nocturnal animals. Watch owls with their exceptional eyesight and hearing, and witness the intriguing bioluminescent glow of some insects.

ExploringTanzania parks at Night

Exploring Tanzania parks at night can be an exciting adventure! Licaon Safaris can organize unforgettable nocturnal experiences in national parks where permitted. Our night game drives include the following destinations:

  • Lake Manyara National Park: Just a short drive from Arusha, Lake Manyara National Park offers a unique night game drive experience. Witness hippos emerging from the water to graze, and watch nocturnal birds like owls and nightjars actively hunting insects
  • Serengeti National Park: The Serengeti is renowned for its annual wildebeest migration, but it also offers fantastic night game drives. Visitors might see predators like lions and leopards on the hunt, as well as nocturnal species like aardvarks and bat-eared foxes.
  • Ruaha National Park: Ruaha is Tanzania’s largest national park and offers a remote and wild safari experience. Night game drives here can be particularly rewarding, with chances to see predators like lions, leopards, and hyenas, as well as lesser-known species like aardwolves and pangolins.
  • Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve): Nyerere National Park is one of Africa’s largest protected areas and offers a pristine wilderness experience.
