Game drives are a highlight of any safari. Wake up early in the morning or late afternoon for a game drive through the park in a specialized 4×4 vehicle with a knowledgeable guide. This is the best time to spot wildlife when animals are most active. Your guide will take you to the best locations to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and over 400 species of birds. With some luck, you may even encounter the elusive leopard! Game drives allow you to get up close to the animals and observe them in their natural habitat.
