FAQs about 7 Days Serengeti Migration Night Game-Drive Safari

Are night game drives allowed inside the Serengeti?

Night game drives are generally prohibited inside the main national park to protect the animals. However, we conduct these activities in private concessions or specific areas on the park boundaries where it is legal and safe to do so.

What animals can we see on a 7-day Night Game-Drive safari in Serengeti Migration?

You can see nocturnal animals like bush babies, genets, civets, and honey badgers. It is also a great time to see predators like lions and leopards when they are most active and potentially on the hunt.

Do you use special lights for the night game drive?

Yes, our vehicles are equipped with powerful spotlights that use red filters. These filters allow us to see the animals without hurting their eyes or disturbing their natural nocturnal behavior.

Is it safe to be out in the bush at night?

Our guides are highly trained and follow strict safety protocols during every 7-day Night Game-Drive safari. We stay within the vehicle and keep a safe distance from the animals at all times.

What should I wear for a night game drive?

It gets quite cold once the sun goes down, so we recommend wearing warm layers. A heavy jacket, long trousers, and a hat are essential to stay comfortable during the evening activities.

How long does a typical night game drive last?

A standard night game drive usually lasts between two and three hours. This gives us enough time to explore different habitats and find nocturnal species without causing excessive disturbance.

Can children join the 7-day Night Game-Drive safari in Serengeti Migration?

We generally recommend night drives for older children who can stay quiet and focused during the activity. Please check with us for specific age recommendations based on your family's needs.

Do we need special cameras for night photography?

Night photography is challenging and requires a fast lens and a high ISO setting. Our guides can help position the vehicle to use the spotlights effectively for your shots.

Does Burigi Chato Safaris CO LTD provide blankets during the night drive?

Yes, we provide warm blankets in our vehicles for the evening and night game drives. We want to ensure you stay warm while you search for nocturnal wildlife.

What happens if it rains during the night drive?

If the weather is bad, we may postpone the night drive for safety and visibility reasons. We will then try to reschedule it for the next available evening during your 7-day tour.

Seeing a leopard hunt at night was the most intense moment of my entire 7-day Night Game-Drive safari.
