Sunset Drive in Kruger National Park
Sunset drives are a wonderful opportunity to have the best of both worlds – see the birds and animals who are active during the day, as well as the nocturnal birds and animals. The sunset drive is facilitated by SANParks on an open safari vehicle with an experienced guide.
As the daylight fades across the savannah, and the pastel shadows morph the landscape into a soft glow, there is peace across the bush. But the peace is soon replaced by excitement as nocturnal animals silently travel along their starlit hunting trails. From scrub hares to nightjars and genets to leopards, the bush comes alive with a new cast, and whatever you see, you’re in for a beautiful show.
