Night drives in Zambia
Most of the camps and lodges in Zambia offer night drives and indeed usually incorporate them into their afternoon game drive. While one or two night drives can be quite fun and you might see leopard, much of the time you are sitting freezing cold watching a light flit about the bush and catching the odd banded mongoose going about its business.
Never be frightened to say you do not want to night drive as we think that they can be purgatory. If you want to sit in camp (and they are all wonderful camps) watching the sun go down with a drink, listening to the day noises become night noises, insist on doing this.
We feel that night drives are rather rammed down people’s throat sometimes. The fear of course is that the group who has done it will see fantastic game which is why people go out night after night and come back stiff with cold, exhausted and can only eat and fall into bed. (Perhaps it is a ploy to stop you staying up all night around the camp fire!)
