Dust and early light smear the horizon as the tour vehicle slips out of Johannesburg and into the lowveld—broad grassland broken by fever trees, rivers that dare you to follow their bends, and the dry scent of bushveld that holds a dozen tracks. By evening you arrive at Nkambeni Safari Camp, where the lodge’s lamps and distant hippo calls mark the transition from road to wild.
