Dawn thins the night air over the Central Serengeti as headlights pick out silhouettes on the horizon: kopjes like islands in a sea of grass, and a line of wildebeest moving with the slow insistence of tides. Guides ease the vehicle along rutted tracks; birds call from acacia branches while the plains open into a horizon that feels wider than memory.
