Camping, Classic and Lion - On Road
Each evening from almost every camp in Kruger
Park the South African National Parks provide 'on road' night game viewing drives in
20-seatsided vehicles. A SANParks game ranger
armed with a .458 rifle conducts the night game drives.
The night game drive departs from camp at 18.00hrs
and last for approx three hours. You may have a chance of using
one of the three spotlights on the vehicle. It is your opportunity to see some
nocturnal wildlife in the Kruger Park. The night
game drives are a
very enjoyable experience.
When you book one of our Kruger Park
safaris we automatically allow for one night drive per person.
If
you are interested in more than one
night drive we will book the extra night drives on your behalf
but payment is to be made directly to SANParks when
you check into camp. The cost is approx R 200.00
per person.
Luxury - Off Road
At the end of the afternoon game drive, as the sun starts to set,
we stop in the middle of the bush. You are allowed to jump off
the 4 x 4 Land Rover to have a stretch, a call of nature and to enjoy
'sun downers' (drinks). A table is set up with a selection of
drinks - beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks
with small snacks.
After sunset you climb
back onto the Land Rover ready for your night drive. The
tracker sits on the front of the Land Rover in his special seat,
up front using a
very powerful spotlight, swinging it left and right
searching for nocturnal animals.
At night the predators
are more active, so going on a night drive increases your
chance's of seeing either a pride of Lions on the move or a
Leopard hunting.

Note
With the Camping, Classic, Lion and Birding safaris: if there is no
availability to include you on a night drive we will book up a
sunset drive in lieu of the night drive.
Children under 8 are not always allowed on night
drives. If you still want to experience a night drive your Safari
Ranger will of course look after your children at camp. It's not
a problem at all and we provide this service all the time.
You
are welcome to take snack food and cold drinks with you
on your night drive. A toilet and cigarette break
normally happens at the middle of a bridge crossing, approximately
half way through the drive.
