Encounter with a baby in hiding Oct 29 2007

A few years ago a group of friends and I went on an early morning bush walk in one of South Africa’’s private game reserves. It was the middle of winter, and after a fairly jolly evening the night before, it was with bleary eyes and pounding heads that we stumbled out of our tents before sunrise and followed our guide reluctantly into the chilly, frost-rimed bushveld.

Just after sunrise, we were trudging along in single file, shivering and grumbling, when our guide suddenly held up his hand and signalled for us to stop.
