In moments like these, the air feels more rare, time seems to slow down, and everything crackles with tension. Just a few minutes earlier, a call came over the radio and my guide, Khutso, quickly put our open-backed Jeep in gear. Doing his best imitation of a Formula One driver, he roared over the rough roads, me hanging on as we careened around corners. What’s waiting for us, I asked? “A surprise,” he said, looking over his shoulder for an instant—just long enough for me to see his wry smile.
