A cloud of dust billows up over the acacia-sprinkled plains as a million or more hooves thunder along a well-trodden path, guided by instinct. Apex predators stalk their prey in heart-in-the-mouth encounters that symbolise the circle of life. Welcome to the finest nature show on earth – the Great Wildebeest Migration – played across the vast natural theatre of the Serengeti. Nothing but a front-row seat will do. There’s no substitute for seeing the star location of so many incredible wildlife documentaries for yourself, and in a tented camp you’ll be perfectly placed for optimum sightings. Bed down under canvas in your ultra-luxe tent, let the sounds of the savannah lull you into a deep slumber and before you know it, you’ll receive one of the most exciting wake-up calls. As the sun rises, life in Serengeti starts to stir, the landscape takes on a wonderful golden glow and long shadows start to form. Your hugely knowledgeable and intuitive driver/guide will whisk you from encounter to encounter before returning you back to your lodge with countless new memories. We’ve travelled around Serengeti National Park in order to hand-pick the best lodges in the best locations with the finest settings and chose the best excursions.

The Zanzibar archipelago is a jewel in the Indian Ocean, just 60 miles off Africa's east coast. Few names evoke such a romantic image as the main ‘spice island’ of Zanzibar. The capital, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to a fascinating maze of narrow streets, while on the east coast pristine beaches beckon visitors to the reef-protected warm waters as traditional wooden dhows sail by. Across from the main island, the small sister island of Pemba offers away-from-it-all escapes.
