The crisp morning in July does little to dampen our excitement: we are leaving on a game drive through the Etosha Heights Private Reserve.

That is not ideal for rhino tracking but we remain optimistic, and soon enough the rising sun dries up the fine droplets, marking the start of a rugged journey into the habitat of Namibia’s endangered black rhino.
