More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the dry-season dawn as the 4x4 rumbles through scrub and riverine forest, the Zambezi River daring you from a low, braided bank. Dust rises in the vehicle’s wake and an experienced guide scans termite mounds and acacia stands for signs—tracks, broken branches, a flicker of movement. In three hours you can move from open floodplain to shaded woodland, stopping where the wildlife appears and stretching your legs beneath a flat-topped leadwood.
