Dawn arrives across the floodplain in a wash of ochre and cool blue; an open 4x4 idles at the edge of the track while the guide studies spoor in the dust. Guests slip into soft coffee and a light breakfast, then watch the bush sharpen into silhouettes — giraffe necks puncture the horizon, buffalo wallow in the river’s shallows, and the afternoon sun turns elephant backs to bronze.
