It is carried out early in the morning, when animals have only just begun their day and when night hunters are returning to their resting places. When nocturnal hunters such as lions, leopards, hyenas and others take use of the night cover, such as lions, leopards, hyenas and others. This can be done with safari vehicles and a trained ranger guide who will explain everything that happens in the bush. The edges of vehicle windows are ideal for watching and photographing the animals.
