Picture the quintessential African safari, and the mind invariably conjures scenes of Kenya: boundless golden savannahs studded with spindly acacias; elephants descending on watering holes; cheetahs and leopards hunting; guttural lion roars the soundtrack to dawn and dusk. The land that inspired Out of Africa, Born Free and The Lion King, the widescreen stage for the Great Migration, which sees two million wildebeest and zebra racing for their lives across plains inhabited by big cats and crocodiles.

Mountain, savannah, river, reef. Tanzania is a land of contrasts, where wild scenes shift from the depths of Lake Tanganyika to the soaring heights of Mount Kilimanjaro. On a Tanzania safari, rhinos roam the Ngorongoro Crater. Lions stalk giraffes across Ruaha’s remote plains. And in the Serengeti, vast herds of wildebeest and zebra race across the kopje-strewn savannah during the Great Migration.

In Moremi Game Reserve, lions, leopards and lechwes live on islands studded with terracotta termite mounds, as awestruck travellers paddle silently past in mokoros in traditional canoes. Right across this crowd-free country, nature’s survival strategies offer extraordinary spectacles. In the Makgadikgadi Pans, a vast bed of crusted salt, thousands of zebras migrate between December and March to feast on surrounding nutrient-rich grasses, while meerkats dig for insects in the dust. And in the burning red sands of the Kalahari, communities of San people practice skills handed down by their ancestors.

The mighty falls can be experienced by helicopter or on foot, from atmospheric spray-soaked pathways.

Or swap boats for boots in South Luangwa, home of the walking safari, where leopards laze in treetops bathed by honeyed amber light. A stage for large-scale spectacles, Zambia supports multiple mass migrations.
