You step out of the air‑conditioned vehicle and the savanna seems to breathe around you—tall grasses nudging at the road, a distant silhouette of a lone baobab daring you to come closer. Quiçama National Park spreads across flat plains, riverine strips and pockets of dense vegetation; animals move with a quiet purpose and the horizon often reads like hard-won wilderness.
