Beneath my fingers, I could feel the female lion’s tracks imprinted in the soil of the South African bush. Louis, our tracker, led my hand to the dirt, carefully tracing my fingers over the paw pads that would eventually guide us towards the Sabie River at the southern boundary of the Sabi Sabi game reserve.
