Dust lifts in a low cloud behind the safari vehicle as the guide eases off the road and into a pocket of thorn scrub. The engines quiet; the landscape—dry grass, ragged acacia, the low pulse of distant river water—takes over. Trackers who went out before sunrise read spoor and droppings like a living map, and you follow curated signs that lead to the rhino’s domain.
