Game Drive
Explore the fascinating world of nocturnal wildlife with Timon Safaris on our Night Game Drive as dusk blankets the African savanna; a different set of creatures awaken, transforming the landscape into a new world of sights, sounds, and stories waiting to be discovered.
The adventure begins just as the sun sets, casting long shadows and painting the sky with various colours. Equipped with powerful spotlights that pierce through the darkness without disturbing the animals, our custom safari vehicle takes you into the heart of the wilderness. Our experienced guides are on hand to navigate the terrain and share their knowledge about the intricate workings of the night-time ecosystem.
As darkness descends, the African night comes alive. Experience the thrill of spotting elusive nocturnal creatures such as the aardvark, bush babies, and serval cats. Witness the hypnotic dance of fireflies, and listen to the calls of night birds echoing in the still air. Watch for predators such as lions, hyenas, and leopards, which often become more active, using the cover of darkness to stalk their prey.
Your guide will use an infrared spotlight to point out creatures of the night, ensuring that our presence doesn’t disrupt their normal behaviour. These powerful lights can reveal animals’ reflective eyes long before their forms become visible, adding to the anticipation and mystery characterising a night game drive.
Halfway through the drive, we break under the star-studded African sky. Here, you can stretch your legs, enjoy a hot drink, and immerse yourself in the sounds and rhythms of the night. This is also a fantastic opportunity for stargazing, given the minimal light pollution in these remote regions.
The Night Game Drive concludes as we return to the warmth and comfort of your lodge, leaving behind the secrets of the African night until the next adventure. A night drive with Timon Safaris isn’t just about the creatures you see – it’s about plunging into the mystery of the unseen and uncovering a side of the wilderness few experience.
Experience the thrill of the wild under the cloak of darkness, and gain a deeper understanding of Africa’s nocturnal creatures on our Night Game Drive with Timon Safaris. It is a truly unforgettable adventure that lets you witness the untamed beauty of Africa in a whole new light.
