The Route: For six days, sojourn at Abu’s Camp, an exclusive tented safari base. From there you’ll make daily game-viewing forays via foot, canoe, Land Rover, and pachyderms Abu, Bennie, Kathy, Bibi, Nyaka Nyaka, and Mthondo Mbomvo.

When to go: March to December

Difficulty: Easy

Travel advisory: Kathy and Bibi are a bit more stubborn than their male counterparts, so if you want to avoid playing elephant head games, ask for one of the more even-tempered males.

High/low points:

  • Watching Abu wrap his trunk around an open can of beer and pretend to drink it before passing it up to his rider.
  • Getting elephant dung all over your new Mephistos.
