Private reserve near Victoria Falls

Overview
The African bush changes completely after sunset, and night drives are only possible on private land. With a spotlight your guide searches for the animals you’d never see by day: genet, civet, bushbabies, owls and nightjars, and sometimes the big predators on the move.
Prefer to slow down? The Bush Dinner swaps the spotlight for a fire, a table set in the open and a meal cooked in the bush, with the night sounds all around you. Choose the evening that suits you.

Frequently asked questions
Why can't I night drive in the national park?
Park rules don’t allow night drives. That’s why they run on private reserves.
Is it cold at night?
From May to August, yes. Bring a warm jacket. Blankets are usually provided.
