When the sun sets, Mara North Conservancy reveals another side of the wild. Night drives at Hemingways River Camp allow guests to encounter elusive nocturnal species, an experience not available in the main Maasai Mara Reserve.

What You Might See

• Leopards hunting under cover of darkness.
• Hyenas calling and patrolling the plains.
• Aardvarks and Honey Badgers, rare but unforgettable.
• Owls, Bush Babies, and Genets, fascinating smaller nocturnal creatures.

The Experience

Equipped with spotlights, night drives reveal wildlife behaviour unseen during the day. The cooler temperatures and stillness of the evening add a unique atmosphere.

Why It Matters

Night drives complete the safari picture, giving guests a fuller understanding of the ecosystem and its rhythms.
