- Each evening from almost every camp in
the Kruger
Park the South African National Parks provide 'on road' night
game viewing drives in
20-seat open sided vehicles. A SANParks game ranger
armed with a .458 rifle conducts the night game drives.
The night game drive departs from camp at 18.00hrs
and last for approx three hours. You may have a chance of using
one of the three spotlights on the vehicle.
It is your opportunity to see some
nocturnal wildlife in the Kruger Park. The night
game drives are a
very enjoyable experience.

At the end of the afternoon game drive,
as the sun starts to set the Land Rover stops in the middle of the bush. You are allowed to jump off
the Land Rover to have a stretch, a call of nature and to enjoy
'sun downers' (drinks). A table is set up with a selection of
drinks - beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks. Small snacks are
also offered.
During the night drives your tracker
uses a powerful spotlight, swinging it constantly left and
right, searching for the nocturnal animals.
When a pride of Lions are found, we will follow the pride through
the bush, keeping close to them, waiting and hoping for an opportunity
to occur which results in you seeing the pride in action, bringing
down suitable prey.
Imagine! Safely sitting in a Land Rover in
the middle of the South African bush only a few metres away from
a pride of Lions on a fresh Zebra kill!

Note Kruger Park night game drives are included
on 2nd night on the 4 Day Combo Safari (Option A) & 5 Day Combo
Safari. There is just not enough time to include a night drive
on the 3 Day Combo Safari and the 4 Day Combo Safari (Option B)
as you only have the one night, the first night, in the Kruger
Park. Children under 8 are not always allowed on night
drives in Kruger Park. If you still want to experience a night drive your Safari
Ranger will of course look after your children at camp. It's not
a problem at all and we provide this service all the time.
Probably the very
best safari experience in South Africa.
