Venture into the African night and witness wildlife that awakens when the sun sets.
As daylight fades and the savannah cools, a different world begins to stir. A night game drive in Tarangire or Lake Manyara reveals elusive nocturnal species rarely seen during the day. Guided by experienced rangers and equipped with specialized spotlights, you’ll search for bush babies, porcupines, civets, genets, and possibly even prowling predators. The stillness of the night adds an atmosphere of anticipation and mystery to the safari experience.
