Sundowners: the complete guide
A sundowner is the safari ritual of pausing at the end of the day to watch the sun set with a drink in hand. Your guide picks a spot with an open view, sets out drinks and snacks, and you watch the sky turn gold and red while the animals settle for the night. It is simple, and it is often the moment guests remember most.
Here is how sundowners work and where to enjoy them.
