Game Drive Safaris in Tanzania: A game drive in Tanzania is a great way to explore national parks and see amazing wildlife. These drives are done in 4WD vehicles with a driver guide, starting early in the morning around 6:30 or 7:00 am. This is the best time to see animals that are active, like nocturnal animals hunting and others looking for food. Afternoon drives, around 2:00 pm, are good for watching animals as they return to rest. Tanzania also offers night game drives, where visitors, along with a park ranger, use spotlights to see nocturnal animals at night.
