Dawn breaks over layered hills as your vehicle slips from Johannesburg onto the long, open road toward Kruger. The air shifts from city exhaust to a dry, warm scent of grass and earth; mopane and marula trees lean toward the skyline while distant termite mounds punctuate the plain. By afternoon you’ll be standing at God’s Window, looking down into the Blyde River Canyon, then sliding into a private bush lodge where night sounds replace traffic.
