Dawn breaks over a flat, ochre plain and the open four-wheel-drive crests a rise; mist lifts off the Zambezi River and a herd of elephants moves like a slow current across the grass. You’re in an open game viewer with a trained guide who reads spoor and birdcalls the way others read a map. The first-light drives aim to put you ahead of the crowds—before Victoria Falls’ tour buses arrive—and into an unfenced wilderness where animal movements determine the route.
