Lukula Selous, Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania

The greatest health risk of a trip to Tanzania isn't malaria or typhoid—it's khaki fever. The sickness is brought on by the rugged, gun-toting guides that stand between you and those hungry prides of lions. The guides at southern Tanzania's Lukula Selous camp include a former professional hunter and a Calvin Klein model. Days are spent following them through croc-filled rivers, and nights bring starched button-downs and candlelit dinners filled with tales of hippo charges and poacher run-ins.

Not just a pretty face: In addition to being able to name the genus and species of nearly every animal you encounter in the savanna, the guides here know their way around a wine list, speak six languages, and never have to ask for directions. What's that? You're feeling feverish? We thought so.
