If you walk through London you might think you were on Safari on a dark night.
You have menacing dark youths in hoodies who are menacing and very scary. They bug the hell out of me. :-(
I haven’t done a night time game walk, but when we were camping Africa, we were told that if we wanted to leave the tent at night, open the tent flap and shine the torch out. If you see reflected eyes, then stay in the tent! I think that if you use a red torch beam in the dark, that does not attract insects like the normal beam does
