Don't miss Kuoni's top 10 inspirational experiences during your Africa or Indian Ocean holiday.

1

Go on safari in Kenya

Spot large prides of lions lazing in the long grass, watch families of elephants munching on acacia trees and admire giraffes gracefully crossing the horizon as the sun starts to set. The African bush is an unforgettable experience.

2

Take a traditional Mokoro canoe trip, Botswana

As you drift gently up the Chobe River in a traditional mokoro canoe, passing buffalos and antelopes grazing on the bank, look out for grey, wrinkled foreheads bobbing above the surface. Chobe National Park is renowned for its huge elephant population, where these graceful giants wade through the deep water.

3

Visit Table Mountain and Robben Island, South Africa

Soar into the sky on a cable car destined for Table Mountain's giddy heights and breathtaking views, or catch a ferry to Robben Island near Cape Town for a tour of the notorious prison that held Nelson Mandela.

4

Fly over the colossal sand dunes of Namibia

Take to the sky during our luxury flying safari, gliding over the Namibia Desert and admiring the contours of some of the highest sand dunes in the world.

5

Watch the wildebeest migration, Tanzania

Admire herds of wildebeest kicking up a haze of dust as they migrate, thundering through scorched plains and crocodile-infested rivers. Head to the Serengeti in Tanzania or Kenya 's Maasai Mara for this annual influx of over two million animals.

For more on this year's migration, read our migration update.

6

Eat and drink in South Africa's winelands

Taste a glass or two in South Africa's famous winelands in one of 200 cellars. Explore the stunning scenery and try the sampling-menu at Bosman's restaurant at the Grand Roche in Paarl.

7

Scuba dive in the Indian Ocean

Head below the waves in Mauritius or the Seychelles, diving among vivid coral reefs and fluorescent-coloured fish. Float alongside marlins and sharks in Mauritius or giant tortoises in the Seychelles.

8

Take a helicopter flight in Zambia

Lift off into the sky, weave through the clouds and drop down towards the Zambezi River in a helicopter. Then, suddenly, you see it - the thundering Victoria Falls in all its glory, cascading down the rockface.

9

Tee off in Mauritius

Mauritius is a golfers' paradise. Tee off at the Four Seasons Golf Club at Anahita, a USGA-rated 18-hole course designed by Ernie Els and set against lush mountains and a sparkling lagoon.

10

Explore Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

Watch the sea of pink plumes flutter as each flamingo lowers its curved, elegant neck to feed in Lake Magadi 's waters and admire elephants grazing in the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater.
