FAQs about 6 Days Serengeti Migration Night Game-Drive Safari

Where does the night drive take place on the 6-day night game-drive safari?

Night game drives are primarily conducted in Tarangire National Park or private concessions adjacent to the Serengeti. These areas allow specialized evening excursions that are not permitted inside the main Serengeti National Park to protect the animals and their natural sleep cycles.

What animals can I see during a 6-day night game-drive safari in Serengeti Migration?

You can expect to see nocturnal animals like aardvarks, civets, bushbabies, and genets. It is also an excellent opportunity to witness predators like lions and leopards while they are actively hunting in the cooler night air.

Are night game drives safe?

Yes, our vehicles are equipped with powerful spotlights and our guides are experts at navigating in the dark. We follow strict safety protocols to ensure that both our guests and the wildlife are protected during these specialized evening excursions.

Do we need special equipment for the 6-day night game-drive safari?

You do not need any special equipment, but a good pair of binoculars and a camera with low-light capabilities are helpful. We provide the spotlights used for spotting the animals, and your guide will handle all the technical aspects of the drive.

Is it cold during the night drives?

Yes, temperatures can drop significantly once the sun goes down, especially in the open-top or pop-up roof vehicles. We recommend bringing a warm jacket, a scarf, and a hat to stay comfortable while you explore the bush at night.

How long does a night game drive typically last?

A standard night game drive usually lasts between two and three hours. This provides enough time to search for nocturnal creatures without becoming too fatigued for the early morning game drives the next day.

Can children participate in the 6-day night game-drive safari in Serengeti Migration?

Most night drives are suitable for children who can remain quiet and still for the duration of the excursion. It is an exciting experience for older kids who are interested in seeing a different side of the African wilderness.

What happens if it rains during the night drive?

If there is heavy rain, the night drive may be postponed or canceled for safety reasons. However, light rain often brings out different types of nocturnal insects and amphibians, which can be fascinating to observe.

Are the vehicles used for night drives different?

We use the same reliable 4x4 Land Cruisers, but they are fitted with additional lighting equipment for the evening. The pop-up roof allows for a 360-degree view, making it easier to spot animals in every direction.

Will we see the Big Five during the 6-day night game-drive safari?

Yes, this itinerary covers the best parks for the Big Five. While you look for nocturnal animals at night, your daytime drives in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro will focus on finding lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos.
