The grand dunes of Sossusvlei in Namibia are more than a pretty sight. Having taken millions of years to form, they’re literally the sands of time.

Darting and chipping rhino in the gorgeous, rugged bushland of South Africa's Madikwe Reserve is a hands-on safari adventure. More than a close wildlife encounter, you're also directly involved in protecting rhino from extinction.

“Get ready,” my driver said. The air team had darted a rhino from the helicopter and the anesthetic had already begun kicking in.

A moonbow, or lunar rainbow, is a nighttime rainbow that’s created by the light of the full moon refracting in rising mist, in this case, the mist from Victoria Falls.

Ever heard of a moonbow? Neither had I, at least not until my recent Victoria Falls trip. As it turns out, it's one of the Falls’ best-kept secrets.

As the widespread African saying goes, ‘it takes a village to raise a child’, and elephant are no different; the whole herd is responsible for looking after the young.

An elephant never forgets. What they don't tell you is, you never forget an elephant. Having met the Jabulani herd, I can attest to that.

When the wildebeest masses of the Great Migration reach the Mara River - a river they have to cross - life explodes and erupts in all its brutal, raw glory.

A long line of wildebeest stand at the shoreline, ready to leap into the water. There’s an advantage to going first. The crocodile haven't yet begun their feeding frenzy.

The zebra migrations: a hazy mass of black-and-white stripes that move across the landscape. It’s hallucinatory – the kind of thing you may expect to see on a Pink Floyd album cover, but not in Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Salt Pans.

During the wet season, the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans turn into floodplains and play host to the second-largest land migration in Africa.

The biggest, baddest lion on the planet are found in Botswana's Okavango Delta. These hulking big cats have bigger muscles than their plains-dwelling counterparts – all due to a unique twist of fate.

If lions had competitions for the baddest big cats, the Okavango Delta would undoubtedly produce the most heavy-weight champions of the world.

During the Great Migration, 1.5 million wildebeest join together to migrate between Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara. From the air, they look like a swarm of ants. But they're driven by a purpose – one with a surprising logic.

The Great Migration looks like a swarming mass of millions of stampeding wildebeest. But there's more than meets the eye to one of nature's greatest spectacles.
