Dawn spills gold over an acacia‑lined horizon as a 4x4 slips off the dusty track into Samburu’s open plains. You watch a pair of reticulated giraffes pick leaves like careful scale‑keepers, while the air carries the distant bray of a Somali ostrich. Over the next week the landscape pivots — riverine scrub in the north, forested ridges beneath Mount Kenya, the alkaline pink rim of Lake Nakuru and finally the wide, grass‑sea of the Maasai Mara.
