Night Game Drives in
Tarangire & Lake Manyara

Experience the wild like never before with an unforgettable Night Game Drive in Tarangire or Lake Manyara National Park—two spectacular settings known for their rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes. Surrounded by the lake, rift valley cliffs, groundwater forests, Ngorongoro highlands, and the arid plains of Tarangire, this region is a vibrant crossroads of wildlife and vegetation.

As night falls and the stars begin to shine, your nocturnal adventure begins. Keep your eyes peeled for elusive night creatures such as genets, civet cats, porcupines, and massive hippos grazing in the moonlight. If luck is on your side, you may even catch a glimpse of a lion or a stealthy leopard on the prowl.

But the magic of a night game drive isn’t just in the wildlife. There's something truly special about watching the moonlight dance across the savanna grasses or seeing it reflect off the surface of the lake—a moment of peaceful mystery you'll never forget.
