You step into an open-sided 4x4 at dawn, dust lifting behind the convoy while the Chobe River shimmers to your right. Elephants dot the floodplain like weathered boulders on the move; hornbills and kingfishers call from the riverine trees. The day alternates between slow, patient observation and sudden, breath-stealing encounters when a herd or a lone bull crosses the road.
