Night Drives

The Kwa Madwala night drives are nothing short of magical and offer an excellent introduction to the nocturnal species and animal activity in the reserve.

Departing at 20.30 after dinner you will leave camp in an open 4x4 safari vehicle and drive into the 4,000 hectare conservancy under the stars on a two and a half hour true night safari and will return to camp and be escorted to your rooms by 23.15.

The night drive traverses through the Kwa Madwala reserve and you can expect to get close to lion, porcupine, bush babies and occasionally if you are very lucky leopard, pangolin and aardvark.

You will experience the sounds of the bush with bright stars above you in the night sky and a wonderful range of spectacular wildlife around you. A large percentage of animals laze around during the day and begin to get active after sunset. You may well be able to witness lion and other nocturnal species hunting.

A powerful spotlight on your open safari vehicle ensures great views and many encounters in the dark African bush. This is an experience not to be missed.
