You step out at dawn as the coach slips away from Cape Town’s coastline, the city silhouette shrinking behind Table Mountain while the road heads east toward semi-desert ridges and broad vineyards. By late morning you’re at a private game reserve where the scrub and acacia seem to lean toward the open 4x4 track; giraffes bend their long necks like slow question marks and a ranger’s voice cuts through the quiet before the engine revs for a two‑hour game drive.
