Night game drive in lake manyara

The essence of a night game drive

Enhance your safari experience with an exhilarating night drive, venturing into the realm of Africa’s nocturnal predators. Lake Manyara National Park offers a particularly enchanting backdrop, with the moon casting its shimmering glow upon the tranquil waters. Departing after an early dinner, typically around 20:00, embark on a three-hour exploration led by your knowledgeable guide.

Traverse the park’s diverse habitats under the veil of darkness, immersing yourself in the sights and sounds of the nocturnal world. Your expert guide will skillfully navigate the terrain, seeking out elusive creatures rarely encountered during daylight hours, offering a unique perspective of the lake and the Rift Valley Escarpment.

Lake Manyara’s inhabitants, thriving from the perennial water sources, are in prime condition, providing ample opportunities for wildlife sightings. Keep a keen eye out for elusive genets, agile civet cats, and prickly porcupines, as they emerge under the cover of night. Encounter the majestic hippos, leisurely foraging beneath the canopy, and perhaps catch a glimpse of elusive leopards, known to roam the park’s expanse.

As the night unfolds, behold the regal lions, kings of the jungle, awakening from their slumber to roam the darkness. While leopard sightings are not guaranteed, the park boasts regular encounters with these elusive felines. With each passing moment, embrace the thrill of the nocturnal realm, where Africa’s wild wonders come alive under the moonlit sky.
