When you’re caught in the hum of city life it’s easy to forget that there are wild expanses of the earth that are just inhabited by animals. Just animals. And nothing else (well, nothing much). That’s quite a comforting thought when you’re dealing with some of the greyer aspects of urban dwelling.

Here’s our favourite luxe safaris ideas to bring you back to life, wildly:
