Waterberg, Limpopo · 03:50
The bush is
still asleep.
Past the last farm gate, the mountain is holding its breath. Stay with us until the light comes.
Scroll to bring up the dawn
04:30 · First grey
Coffee in
the dark.
Boots laced by torchlight. Quiet voices round the coals. Nobody needs to say what we are waiting for.
05:00 · The horizon catches
The mesas
take shape.
Mist in the low ground. A francolin calling down the valley. Rifles slung, and the walk begins.
You are invited · A hunting weekend
