Game drives

Night drives

Night drives are guided vehicle safaris that take place after sunset, when different wildlife may be active. Operators use a spotlight or, at some lodges, thermal viewing equipment to help guests observe animals in the dark without self-driving. The experience is available only where the reserve, concession or park permits after-hours game viewing, so it should be checked with the specific stay. Departures and access rules can change with daylight hours and local operating arrangements. Official examples include lodge-based night drives after dinner and public-park night drives. SANParks pages for Addo, Karoo and Kruger specify a minimum age of six for guided drives. Families should check the child policy for their chosen stay or park rather than assume this minimum applies everywhere.
