Head out after dark to find the animals that only appear at night.
Many of Africa's most interesting animals are active at night, from aardvark, porcupine and honey badger to hunting predators such as leopard, hyena and lion. A night drive with a spotlight reveals a whole different side of the bush.
Night drives are offered on private reserves and in some parks, including Okonjima, the reserves bordering Etosha and many camps in Botswana. Dress warmly, especially in winter, when nights in the desert and the bush get cold.
