Overview
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.
Trip Highlights
- Private driver-guide and flexible pacing
- Wildlife, landscapes and local encounters
- Thoughtful lodges and camps along the route
