Twilight settles over the Mojave like a slow exhale. The safari tram rolls across open scrub and shaded mesquite, headlights picking out the humps and long eyelashes of ambassador camels that step forward as if on cue. The air tastes of creosote and dust; the setting sun burns the horizon into bands of orange and violet while keepers prepare nocturnal animals for hands-on encounters.

Hydrate before you arrive
Bring a filled reusable water bottle — staff may provide limited refreshments, but desert air dehydrates quickly, even at sunset.
Dress in layers
Temperatures can drop quickly after sunset; pack a light jacket or fleece to stay comfortable during evening activities.
Bring a low-light camera or phone lens
Sunset and nocturnal exhibits are prime photo opportunities — a camera with good low-light performance will capture better images.
Follow keeper instructions
Close encounters are supervised; avoid sudden movements and don’t touch animals unless a keeper invites interaction.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is critical in desert conditions, even during an evening tour.
Closed-toe shoes
Sturdy shoes protect feet on packed dirt and around animal enclosures.
Light jacket or fleece
Evenings cool quickly; a layer keeps you warm during post-sunset viewing and s’mores.
