GAME DRIVE



 
Game drives offer excellent photographic opportunities to shoot wildlife.
Early twilight is generally a great time to view the Big Five.


This is usually the main activity offered at all safari lodges and camps.

Wherever you go on safari, animals are by and large much less shy of vehicles than they are of people on foot. In several of the parks they take no notice of vehicles, so for picture taking opportunities a game drive vehicle is the best chance of really getting close enough for that perfect shot.

Game Drives are usually done with a private safari guide and private vehicle Landover, Land Cruiser or similar vehicle are specially customised into open viewing vehicles. In East Africa vehicles are equipped with a pop-up roof, minibuses are also used here because the park authorities have until recently not permit open vehicles.

A Game drive safari is particularly rewarding experiences for the reason that you are able to cover a large area in search of animals and proximity to habituated animals is very good. With a private vehicle and guide you have the luxury of real flexibility in planning your daily safari activities, which is, after all, what safaris are all about.

Night game driving is not allowed in any National Parks, except if operated by the park own vehicles and guides. There are a number of private concessions which border some of the parks where game is excellent and night driving is authorized.
