Dawn cuts across the Zambezi as a minibus eases out of Livingstone, the river daring you to keep pace. Within an hour the landscape changes: scrub gives way to riverine forest and the air smells of wet earth and dust. By midmorning the guide switches to a 4x4 and the park’s rhythms—elephant herds moving like slow weather, hippos grunting in shaded pools—take over.
