			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>South Africa presents a number of various packages for a holiday safaris.

<p>In South Africa, Spending your holiday in a lavish lodge in the Sabi Sand Reserve which neighbors Kruger National Park will enable you to experience the interesting and memorable night game drives. For a safari to be complete in South Africa, it must include this unique adventure of watching the wild beasts as they go about their nocturnal activities.</p>
<p>Night falls</p>
<p>When the sun sets, holiday safaris in South Africa take on a very beautiful appearance beneath the veil of the fading sunrays and escalating sounds rising from typically African bushes!  Various bird species that are not commonly sighted at will be seen with widely opened eyes looking in a surprise. During day time, many animals are usually sleepy and often spend the day lying under trees to shelter from the hot sunshine, and at night they become alive again. The cool evening are usually busied with animals trekking to water holes for a drink as other start on their nocturnal activities.</p>
<p>As a tradition in South Africa, before you depart for a night safari, you must participate in a &#8216;sundowner,&#8217; (an aperitif) with your accompanying friends. As the day light fades away with the spectacular setting of the sun and the skies turn dark, you will feel the bushes in close proximity and hear the day’s silence gradually giving into the sounds of the night.</p>
<p>On the road</p>
<p>In South Africa, a safari taken at night is always carried out in safe open-topped vehicles in the presence of armed park rangers. These professional rangers are highly knowledgeable about the animals’ predatory night behavior, and give a detailed explanation on the animals’ hunting lifestyle, mentioning who eats who. There are two or three bright spotting lights fitted on these vehicles and you may be privileged to control one of them. At the notification of the ranger you will turn you light and if lucky you may come face to face with a panicky baboon, giraffe, hippo, zebra or a rhino.</p>
<p>As you drive across this South African park, you will hear the echoes and rustles of the numerous of animals in the park fill the air as they meander in search of waterholes. You may come to a halt as large herds of animals by pass just inches away from you as they head to their drinking places.</p>
<p>The unique and memorable experience of the night drive should never be missed when taking a holiday safari in South Africa.  The pleasant-humming of bushes that will continually echo in your mind even long after you have gone, and a feel of the true African Magic, is quite a memorable experience.</p>
