More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the vehicle onto warm sand as the late-afternoon sun leans low over flat-topped acacias. The guide points toward a distant silhouette — an elephant cow moving like a slow tide across the plain — while a vintage folding chair and a polished tin tray wait at a cleared lookout. Gin and tonic is poured; the fizz competes with insect calls as the savannah seems to hold its breath.
