My objection to sunset and especially night drives is, that you hardly see the animals only kind of shadows, lots of red eyes and lighted up faces, but then again I might have been unlucky -O-

I refuse to do Night drives because of the Frying of sensitive Retinas by indiscriminate spotlighting

Never had much luck on either. Don't think the equipment is good enough either.

Also dislike that they expect guests to handle the lights.

Next trip to the bush??

Let me think......................
