If you're into wildlife photography, this time of day can provide great lighting conditions. Capture the beauty of the landscape and the creatures you encounter.

As darkness falls, gather for a leisurely dinner. Share stories of the day's sightings and experiences with other guests and the lodge's naturalists.

Keep in mind that wildlife encounters are never guaranteed, as animals can be elusive and unpredictable. It's essential to maintain a respectful distance from the animals and adhere to the guidance of the lodge's staff and naturalists.
