Hyena Night Drives

With Kim Wolhuter

As evening settles over the Savé Valley, guests are invited to experience the nocturnal world in the company of acclaimed filmmaker and conservationist, Kim Wolhuter. The experience begins with an intimate fireside dinner, where Kim shares first-hand accounts of his time living alongside wild hyena clans, offering insight into their intelligence, social structure and misunderstood behaviour. This introduction provides context before venturing into the bush.

The subsequent night drive focuses on locating and observing hyenas within the reserve. Conducted with sensitivity and respect, the drive offers the opportunity to witness their complex social interactions under the cover of darkness. This is a measured and interpretive experience, not spectacle-driven, but rooted in knowledge, patience and coexistence.

Included as part of your stay, this experience offers rare access to one of Africa’s foremost hyena specialists and a deeper understanding of a remarkable species.

It is intimate, unscripted and an once-in-a-lifetime encounter that changes the way many guests see the wilderness forever.

An experience found nowhere else. Uniquely Sango
