You step from the transfer vehicle into a wide, sunlit silence—acacia shadows stretching across red dust, a lone giraffe pausing like punctuation on the horizon. Morning light in the Serengeti strips details down to movement: the careful lift of a lioness’s head, the ripple of thousands of hooves if the migration is near. This is a week measured in sightings and small, exact moments.
