Dawn breaks over the coastal highway and the ocean’s humidity gives way to the dry heat of the interior as your safari vehicle heads inland from Mombasa. Dust lifts from the track like a curtain and the land opens into the ochre plains of Tsavo East, where herds of elephants rearrange the horizon and scrub acacias dare you to come closer.
