As the heat of the day fades and the golden light stretches across the plains, we set out on an evening game drive — one of the most atmospheric ways to experience the African bush. Starting about three hours before sunset, this drive offers a chance to see wildlife in the soft, glowing light of late afternoon, when many animals become more active again.

With an expert ranger leading the way, you'll track game, learn about the park’s unique ecosystem, and watch as day turns to night. Midway through, we pause at a scenic spot for sundowners and light snacks, enjoying the breathtaking sunset as the bush takes on a magical glow.

The drive continues into early evening, when nocturnal animals begin to stir — a perfect way to end the day immersed in the wild.
