When you hear the term "safari," images of open-air vehicles, vast plains, and herds of enormous animals come to mind. An iconic way to experience a safari and connect with nature is through a wildlife drive. Game drives at night are very distinct from drives during the day. The world changes in smell, sound, and form as the heaviness of the sun sinks below the African horizon. At Ngoma Safari Lodge the search is on to find predators hunting or eating, or the rare porcupine or aardvark, armed only with a red-filter night light.
