Night Game Drive
Into the Darkness
One of the most unusual yet marvellous benefits of operating our own Conservancy is being able to arrange night game drives. When the sun sets across Mara Bushtops, nature shuffles her deck, revealing new players and dramas under the moonlit skies.
Spotting predators & prey
A night game drive is a wonderful opportunity to spot predators and prey alike. The lights of our 4x4s illuminate an unseen world, unknown even to experienced safari adventurers. Spotting the shy nocturnal creatures who scuttle, feed and fight their way through the Bush at night can be every bit as exotic and exciting as sighting larger mammals during the day.
Seeing in the dark
Our sharp-eyed Masai spotters may seem able to see in the dark, but are aided by night torches and spotlights (using filters, so as not to alarm the animals they illuminate). Our specially converted car is equipped with a heat-seeking night-vision camera known as a ‘flir’, whose infra-red images are relayed to screens on the seatbacks ahead of you.
Worlds above
Guests need only look up to discover another wonder – a night sky unobscured by light pollution. Galaxies of stars fill vast skies, adding yet another unexpected and rare dimension to life in the Bush.
