Night Game Drives & Bush Dinners

Night Game Drives & Bush Dinners

When the African sun sinks beneath the horizon and the golden grasses fade into shadow, a different Africa begins to breathe. The temperature drops, the sky deepens into velvet, and the night awakens with sounds and sightings reserved for the truly curious.

At Eagle Soul Adventure, we invite you to stay out past the ordinary. With our Night Game Drives and Bush Dinners, we take your East African safari into an unforgettable realm — where mystery, wilderness, and wonder combine under the stars.


NIGHT GAME DRIVES

NIGHT GAME DRIVES

Most travelers end their safari day at sunset. But those who venture out after dusk experience a hidden world — one filled with elusive creatures, heightened senses, and a thrill that only the night can offer.

Guided by experienced trackers and equipped with spotlights, our night drives explore private areas and select national parks where nocturnal life thrives. The bush is quieter — but never still.

What You Might See:

  • Leopards hunting in stealth, their eyes glowing in the underbrush.

  • Lions, more active at night, patrolling territory or feeding.

  • Hyenas, calling eerily to their clan across the plains.

  • Bush babies, and aardvarks — rare species hidden by day.

  • Night birds such as owls, nightjars, and bat hawks, silently navigating the skies.

Where Night Drives Are Offered:

Not all parks allow night drives — but we partner with exclusive lodges and concessions where they are permitted and ethically guided:

  • Nyerere National Park (Selous, Tanzania): Vast, untamed, and ideal for night game viewing.

  • Ruaha National Park (Tanzania): Raw, wild, and full of nighttime movement.

  • Private conservancies in Kenya (e.g., Ol Pejeta, Lewa): Access to off-road and night safari freedom.

  • Tarangire National Park (Tanzania): Select private areas allow exceptional night sightings under baobabs.

BUSH DINNERS

BUSH DINNERS

Imagine stepping into a lantern-lit clearing deep in the bush. The scent of open-fire cooking fills the night air. A bonfire crackles nearby. Somewhere in the distance, a lion calls — and you raise a glass under a sky blanketed with stars.

This is a Bush Dinner a culinary ritual that turns your safari into something timeless.

What to Expect:

  • Al fresco dining in a carefully selected natural setting, often completely private.

  • Gourmet meals blending international flair with East African flavors, prepared on-site by expert chefs.

  • Traditional performances — Maasai dances, Swahili storytelling, or drumming — can be arranged.

  • Flexible group sizes, from intimate honeymoon setups to celebratory family feasts.

  • Thoughtful ambiance with fire pits, soft lighting, and the sounds of the wild as your soundtrack.
