Tarangire National Park Night Game Drive
Tarangire National Park Night Game Drive night game drive gives your safari a completely different twist as you see all the nocturnal animals that you do not see during the day. These animals now appear with eyes lighting up in the darkness when the headlights of the safari jeep meet them. Your guide tells you all about these night lovers and helps you spot nocturnal species such as porcupines, civet cats, genets, bush babies, lions, and leopards.
The ‘Night Game Drives’ are organized in Tarangire National Park which is an ideal location due to its diverse ecosystems. With the lake, the rift valley cliffs, ground water forest, the Ngorongoro highlands, and the dry Tarangire system all close by, the region is a melting pot for all various kinds of animals and vegetation.
When out on a ‘Night game drive’, keep an eye out for genets, civet cats, porcupines, and enormous hippos grazing under shady trees, and if you are lucky you might spot a lion or leopard!
In addition to seeing the animals, you may also have a beautiful, mysterious experience by looking at the moonlight on the savanna grass or the lake’s reflection.
The night game drive offers a unique and exciting opportunity to encounter nocturnal animals that are in hiding during daytime. In total darkness, with only the light of the stars and the headlights of the safari vehicle lighting up the darkness, you will explore the bush….
You will be accompanied by an experienced guide who will take you to explore the wilderness at night. The guide will know how to identify different nocturnal animal sounds and will be able to tell you all about the local flora and fauna.
Are those a pair of eyes that light up in the darkness? Who knows what animals you will encounter tonight….
You will return to the park entrance or accommodation around 10:30 pm.
