Game Drive

Game Drive is a guided tour in a vehicle through a national park or wildlife reserve to see wild animals in their natural home. It is one of the most popular safari activities for people who want to watch and photograph animals like lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, and more.

 

🐾 What Happens on a Game Drive?

  • You ride in a safari vehicle—often open-roof or open-sided for better views.

  • A professional guide or driver takes you to the best spots to find animals.

  • You look for animals in the wild, sometimes using binoculars.

  • The guide shares interesting facts about the animals, plants, and landscapes.

  • Drives usually happen in the early morning or late afternoon, when animals are most active.
