More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dust settles on the red gravel as the jeep eases up a slope and the Omboroko Mountains fill the rearview—Okonjima announces itself in layered ochre and thornveld. In the early morning mist the reserve’s hides sit patient like observers; later the scrub cracks with movement as cheetah and leopard stake territory under an expanse of bright African sky.
