At One Nature, we offer a variety of exclusive experiences that allow you to enjoy the nighttime charm. While formal night safaris aren’t allowed in the park, we’ve curated an array of activities that allow you to embrace the peaceful ambiance of the Serengeti after sunset. From unique outdoor cinema screenings to intimate bush dinners, your evening in the Serengeti will be as memorable as your daytime adventures.
