The Earth, before the spread of Man, must have looked much as the Selous does today. Beautiful, savage, unsullied, with the waltz of life and death in Nature unperturbed by Man.
The animals here are not used to Man, and are elusive. Our encounters with them are all the more special because of their rarity. But it is that primeval landscape which grows on us and progressively casts its spell on us until we feel that we are in a state of timelessness, no longer observers but part of the Land.
