The tour begins before dawn, when low light slices through riverine trees and the open game viewer rolls onto sandy tracks. Cranes call from papyrus beds and the scrub seems to hold its breath as the guide eases toward a herd of impala. Over the next three hours the landscape alternates between broad floodplain and gallery forest, and the Zambezi’s presence is felt more than seen — a distant, persistent force.
