A dawn mist lifts off the Delta and the boat slips through a silver lattice of channels—reeds tapping the hull, a heron tilting like a slow clock. This four-day safari starts in Bucharest and moves east to Tulcea, the human gateway, then deeper into waterways where human traces thin and water rules the map.
