Like Evan and Tom said it does get cool at nightin Africa. I drop my temps at night and raise them to normal temps during the day. I start off by dropping the temps for 2 hours a night then SLOWLY increasing the amount of time the temps are cooled for each night. Going to 12 off and 12 hours on.They always have 12 hours of heat during the day.
Ambient temps are always kept a close eye on and I have a heater set up on a thermostat to set the ambient temps. I never let them get below 73-75 at night. I hope this helps you some.
