Most tours are scheduled to coincide with major animal movement and feeding times and therefore vary depending on the time of year. Generally, wildlife tours are conducted for several hours after sunrise and then again late in the day slightly before and after sunset. Whatever you do, don’t forget your camera! No matter the drive you choose, there will be ample opportunities for photographs as you get up close and personal with wildlife of all shapes and sizes!
