Night game drive

Private Landcruiser, 19:00 to 21:00, two KWS rangers in the vehicle. This is a specialist add-on, not the first safari. You stay seated. No personal spotlight, no flash.

Lion in Nairobi National Park

Self-drive night entry is not a normal visitor option. We run this only as a guided product with rangers. Hyena, rhino, buffalo, nightjars, and thick-knees are the honest likely list. Lion is possible. Leopard is rare. Do a morning half-day first if this is your first time in the park.

  • Hotel pickup. Fleece. Closed shoes. No white clothes.
  • Ranger-escorted circuit. Spotlight only from the authorised crew.
  • Drop-off at the same hotel.
