Posted here because of the hunting tie-in
Was interested to see an article on the huge Niassa Conservation Reserve in northern Mozambique. Unfortunately, it is behind a paywall-but I am sure that many of us still get the magazine.
The area is noted for huge granite outcroppings called inselbergs. Here is a picture of this landscape feature.

That area became a bucket list trip for me during this last trip to Africa. The safari company has a concession that is either in/or adjacent to this reserve.
During our tour of Kruger National Park we saw a lot of Dagga Boys (old cape buffalo bulls that have left the herds) laying on the sand of the dried up river beds.
I now dream of stalking Dagga Boys on the sand rivers of Africa. They said they could fill that bill on their Mozambique concession.
Stalking the sand rivers is a recipe for adventure as lions like to watch them to see what comes along.
Possibly 3 years from now-An incentive to get in shape.

Yes, you'll want to, at the very minimum, be able to run faster than at least a few of your fellow hunters.
