Dawn in Chobe arrives slow and loud: the river pushes bright light across the floodplain while a distant herd of elephants outlines the horizon. Participants transfer from Victoria Falls across the border, trading the thunder of the falls for the hush of the riverine mopane and the occasional snort from a hippo pool.
