Dawn arrives over the lowveld like a slow exhale: acacia crowns etch the horizon and the road through Kruger rolls forward under a pale, warming sky. The vehicle threads past pans and mopane thickets; birds flare like punctuation, and distant trumpet calls pull focus toward a stand of fever trees. For ten hours the park directs the pace — the bush slows you, then nudges you toward a sighting.
