A Night Game Drive in Tanzania offers an exciting opportunity to explore the African wilderness after sunset, when nocturnal wildlife becomes more active. Accompanied by an experienced safari guide and using a specialised spotlight, you may search for leopards, civets, porcupines, aardvarks, hippos, hyenas, and other animals that are rarely observed during daytime game drives. The official Tanzania National Parks website also recognises night game drives as one of Tanzania’s distinctive wildlife activities.

A Tanzania night safari can be arranged in selected destinations such as Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Mikumi, Ruaha, Katavi, and Nyerere national parks, subject to park regulations, permits, and availability. The official Mikumi National Park website lists both day and night game drives, while Lake Manyara National Park identifies night game drives as an activity where permitted. Every Night Game Drive in Tanzania provides a different opportunity to observe nocturnal animals feeding, hunting, and moving through the bush after dark.
