See who comes out after dark — spotlighted drives reveal a different cast of nocturnal predators and creatures that daytime safaris never show you.
Many of East Africa's most fascinating animals — leopards, hyenas, civets, genets, bushbabies — are most active after sunset. A handful of private conservancies permit guided night drives using red-filtered spotlights that don't disturb the animals, opening up sightings you simply will not get on a standard daytime game drive.
Every itinerary is tailor-made, but here's the shape of what's typically included with this style of safari.
