The Plunge
A Brief Glimpse
A river crossing is safari at its most breathless: bodies pressed to the bank, hesitation turning to panic, then the whole herd spilling into crocodile water in a chaos of legs, foam, dust, and fear. It sounds like the world breaking open — bellows, splashes, hooves striking mud, water exploding — until suddenly it is over, and the river keeps its secrets.
Fun Fact
