Sleeping among animals
The African night has a different weight.
The sky fills with stars, and the sounds
take on new meaning. Sometimes a
lion’s roar seems to come from very
close, but the ranger reassures us: “it’s
about 4 or 5 km away.” At other times,
the call of a night bird interrupts sleep
like a warning. Sleeping in Nambiti
means surrendering to that world. The-
re is no fear, as safety is total, but there
is awe.
You leave transformed. Not by what
you have seen, but by how you have
experienced it. Because a true safari
is not just a collection of photos. It’s an
experience you carry in your skin, like
the cold of the savannah that seeps in
everywhere, and you don’t want to co-
ver your face or hands so as not to miss
a single moment of sensation.
