In general, animals are very active in the morning, and more hunting actions happen in the morning hours or late evening /night. Your guide should discuss this option the night before and decide whether you will take breakfast box or return to early for Branch. A hot lunch in camp will be a wise choice so the kids have some time off the car and relax. Evening game drive is an optional.
