Continue with the game drive after dark, using a powerful spotlight to point out nocturnal wildlife.
  • The chances are excellent that you will encounter lions, leopards, elephant, rhino, buffalo, cheetah, and many other species of game in their natural habitat.

There is also a wide variety of antelope and bird species. Afternoon game drives continue into the night when viewing is done by spotlight to view the nocturnal animals. The safari continues into the dark when spotlights are used to follow the game. As most of the predators are nocturnal, this is the best time for viewing especially as most hunting occurs at night.
