Night Game Drive in Tanzania

Discover the secrets of the dark. Join a Kilinyota Safaris night game drive in Lake Manyara or Tarangire to spot nocturnal wildlife like leopards, civets, and bushbabies.

Into the Darkness: When the sun sets, a completely different cast of characters emerges in the African bush. A night game drive offers a rare glimpse into the nocturnal world that most travelers sleep through, revealing the drama of the wilderness under the cover of darkness.

The Experience Equipped with powerful spotlights, your vehicle heads out as the air cools. Your guide’s sharp eyes will scan the trees for the reflective shine of eyes. This is the best time to see elusive predators like leopards on the prowl, as well as shy creatures like the porcupine, civet cat, genet, and the adorable bushbaby. It is a game of patience and discovery, offering a stark contrast to the daytime safari experience.
