No Experience Required

Dawn slices low across the Lowveld and the open safari vehicle rolls through early light, dust lifting like a curtain as the guide scans for movement. Elephant herds cross the road with deliberate patience, and lions, cooling after night hunts, watch the vehicle from a grassy ridge — Kruger has a way of making time slow and attention sharpen.
