Dust lifts as the open 4x4 eases onto a hard-packed road and the park stretches wide: golden grass waving at hip height, thorn trees throwing long shadows, and a distant silhouette that could be tusks or a termite mound. In the cool late-afternoon light, rangers tune their ears to the landscape — calls, clicks and the low rumble of elephants guiding the vehicle toward the river line.
