Staying in a conservancy just outside of the main Samburu National Park has its perks, most notably, the night drives! Under a moonlit sky, head out to experience a safari of a different kind when the big cats are in full hunting mode, their eyes glowing from behind the acacias. The daytime crowd has retired for the evening and a new host of creatures can be seen. As your eyes adjust, enjoy a game of 'what's that sound', which your guide should know the answer to and spot the likes of porcupine and mongoose to the bat-eared fox and aardwolf.
