Time matters when you are planning a day around a safari. Here is a typical evening timeline.
Evening safari timeline
- Pickup in the afternoon
- Drive to the dunes, roughly 45 to 60 minutes
- Dune bashing and sunset photo stop
- Camp activities and BBQ dinner
- Shows
- Return to your hotel
Total time
Around six hours. See evening safari itinerary.
Morning safari
Shorter, usually a few hours. See morning safari.
Overnight safari
Runs until the next morning. See overnight guide.
Plan your day
Keep the afternoon free so you are not rushed. Confirm your pickup time and see all packages.
What affects the length
Traffic, pickup area, season and the size of the group all influence the schedule. Sunset times shift through the year, so winter safaris start earlier than summer ones.
Plan around the schedule
- Keep the afternoon free for rest
- Avoid booking a late dinner reservation afterwards
- Check early flights the next morning
Kids and long evenings
Young children may tire towards the end. Bring snacks and a light jacket so they can sleep in the vehicle on the way back. For a shorter outing, consider a morning safari.
