Overview of Game Drive Safaris in Tanzania
You’ll be a true adventurer, riding in a special safari vehicle with a professional driver and guide, searching for wildlife in the African wilderness. The safari vehicle is usually a 4WD with sliding windows or a pop-up roof for better views. It may also have drinks and a radio to help find animals quickly.
Early morning is the best time for game drives because the animals are more active. In the heat of the day, they often hide under trees or bushes, making them harder to spot. To see animals, try looking through the bushes for any changes in color or shape. Start your day with an early morning game drive, return to your lodge for a late breakfast, and head out again in the afternoon for more wildlife spotting.
Explore Wildlife and Experience the Wilderness
Early mornings are the perfect time for game drives, as the animals are full of energy and easier to spot. As the day heats up, many animals seek shade under trees or bushes, making them harder to find. A good trick is to look through the bushes, watching for any changes in color or movement that might reveal hidden wildlife.
A Day in the Life of a Game Drive
Start your day with an early morning game drive, then head back to your lodge or camp for a relaxing late breakfast. Later in the day, you can go out for another game drive to search for wildlife. Game drives are best during the cooler parts of the day: early morning (6:30 to 9:30) and late afternoon (3:30 to 6:30).
On your game drives, feel free to stop whenever you like and return to camp if needed. You can also choose early meal times. This way, you get the most wildlife sightings in the shortest time.
