6-Day Safari with Night Game Drive

🗓 6 Days 🏨 Lodge 🚙 Private 4x4 Safari Vehicle
Trip Overview

Your Tanzania safari at a glance

A night game drive shows you a completely different Serengeti — genets, civets, spotted hyena and, with luck, a hunting leopard, all lit by spotlight from a permitted vehicle. This six-day private safari builds one into an otherwise classic Tarangire–Serengeti–Ngorongoro route, for travellers who want more than the usual daylight-hours safari.
