You arrive at the river before dawn: the Albert Nile is a sheet of gunmetal, hippos exhale like slow machines, and the falls in the distance throw a white plume into the humid air. Your guide steers a course toward the roar — the river funnels through a narrow gorge and, for a few seconds, the world feels redirected by water that pushes through with raw force.
