game drives

Safari vehicle excursions

Game drives are guided excursions through wildlife reserves or national parks, typically in open-sided vehicles, to observe animals in their natural habitat.

The term is most associated with African safaris: We went on an early morning game drive to see the lions.

Drives are often scheduled at dawn or dusk when animals are most active.
