On the edge of the annual cycle of the migration, we’ve always found plenty of game that stays here. Elephants move through the woodlands, buffalo gather around the lower rocks, and lions call at night. Not to mention the elegant giraffe, who seemingly congregate around our base camp. There are also countless small things to seek out: the birds are extraordinary, and lizards sit on every rock. This area rewards a ‘smaller eye’ – a sense of stillness, patience, and letting the bush come to you, whilst you sit and quietly watch. 

On a walk, let your guide's eyes show you the things that you might otherwise miss. Nature's patterns on a leaf, the age-old flow of water on rocks that has ultimately enabled small natural waterholes to form, and the symbiotic relationship of lichen on the rock kopjes that are scattered all over. Everywhere you look, there is something to marvel at, things that you can easily miss from a vehicle.
