Enjoy a day full of safari activities. Nehimba Safari Lodge safaris include early morning and late afternoon game drives and night drives. Night-time safaris are particularly unique and offer the chance to look for predators out on the hunt and the rare nocturnal species, including genets, bushbabies, white-tailed mongoose, owls, aardvarks and possibly a leopard prowling in the shadow. The sounds at night are equally fascinating, and it is at night that you will hear Hyena whopping, lions roaring and a cacophony of crickets and frogs calling.
