SUNDOWNER

A Special Moment at Day’s End

EXPERIENCES

Sundowner

Some moments on a safari are about stillness. The Sundowner is one of them.

A defining moment at the end of the day, the Sundowner brings guests to an elevated vantage point as the sky shifts across the bush.

Drinks and snacks are served while the views stretch wide and the pace slows, offering a natural pause before the evening settles in.

The experience is weather dependent, and often accompanied by twilight wildlife sightings.
