The popular sunrise (5:30 am summer or 6 am winter) or sunset (4 pm summer or 3:30 pm winter) game drives are the best times to look for the Big 5.
Duration is typically 2 hrs & 30 minutes on the open-back 4x4 trucks driven by game rangers, who narrate facts about the animals while navigating the terrain.
