Night game drive
Best: All year · Around two hours
A spotlight, a different cast of animals, and the parks where it is actually permitted.
Genets, civets, bushbabies, aardvark if you are extraordinarily lucky, and predators that hunt after dark. Night drives are not allowed inside most national parks in Tanzania — they run in conservation areas, private concessions and around the park boundaries, which is worth knowing before someone promises you one in the Serengeti.
