Sunrise in Kruger arrives in slow ribbons of ochre; light pushes through fever trees and the air seems to hold its breath as a herd of elephant moves along a dry riverbed. By week’s end you’ll trade that low, wide horizon for the sharp silhouette of Table Mountain cutting into Cape Town’s blue light — two South Africas in one trip.
