A Botswana Night Drive offers a thrilling and unique way to explore the wilderness after dark. As the African sunsets, the landscape transforms into a completely different world, filled with nocturnal creatures that are rarely seen during the day.

With Go Bold Adventure Tours, you can immerse yourself in the magical sights and sounds of Botswana’s nighttime safari, where every moment brings a new surprise. Our expertly guided night drives are designed to offer an unforgettable adventure, highlighting the hidden gems of Botswana’s wild side.

Botswana Night Drive

Highlights

  • Nocturnal Wildlife Viewing: Spot elusive creatures like owls, leopards, hyenas, and nocturnal predators, which only come to life after dark.
  • Unique Experience: Experience the wildlife from a completely different perspective, as the night reveals a side of Botswana that is rarely seen.
  • Expert Night Guides: Knowledgeable guides who specialize in nocturnal wildlife will provide insight into the behaviour of night-active animals, ensuring you don’t miss out on hidden wonders.
  • Safe and Comfortable Safari Vehicles: Travel in open-air safari vehicles equipped with lights and expert drivers to navigate through the night safely.
  • Atmospheric Adventure: The silence of the African night, broken only by animal calls, offers an atmosphere that is both thrilling and tranquil.

Choosing the Ideal Time for Your

  • Best Time: Night drives can be enjoyed year-round in Botswana. However, the dry season (May to October) is ideal for spotting more nocturnal wildlife, as animals gather around waterholes during this time.
  • Green Season: The wet season (November to April) brings lush vegetation, and while some animals are more elusive, it’s an excellent time for birdwatching, with migratory species active during the night.
  • Weather Considerations: Botswana’s night temperatures can be cooler, especially in the desert and savannah regions. Make sure to pack layers to stay comfortable as the temperature drops.

Top Places to Explore

  • Okavango Delta: As the world’s largest inland delta, Okavango’s diverse ecosystem thrives during the night. Explore its channels and reed beds while tracking the sounds of lions, hippos, and rare wild dogs.
  • Chobe National Park: The area around the Chobe River comes alive after dusk, where elephants, leopards, and hyenas are often seen foraging and hunting. A night drive here can offer close encounters with these magnificent creatures.
  • Kalahari Desert: The Kalahari offers a stark contrast to the wetter regions of Botswana. At night, you can spot predators like jackals, wild dogs, and the elusive aardvark against the backdrop of a starry desert sky.
  • Makgadikgadi Pans: Known for its salt pans, Makgadikgadi is a surreal location to explore at night. After dark, you might witness the rare nocturnal behaviour of desert-adapted wildlife.
