More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave the beach behind before breakfast, the Indian Ocean shrinking in the rearview as the land opens into red-dust plains. Acacia silhouettes puncture a low horizon; a lone elephant kicks up ochre as it approaches a lodge waterhole. At sunset the herd bathes, trunks trumpeting soft applause, and after dinner the sky goes black with stars — the lodge’s lanterns a small, warm counterpoint.
