Dawn breaks across the Mara as the jeep crunches through frost-tipped grass and acacia silhouettes sharpen against a pale sky. Dust lifts in thin ribbons when a lone topi darts across the road; the river beyond gurgles and dares you closer. For three days the reserve narrows to a rhythm of sun, engine hum, and the patient stare of a lion pride.
