As the sun slipped towards the edge of the Barotse Floodplain, everything began to glow in the dying light: the blushing lilies that bloomed in drifts across the watery expanse; the birds in their shimmering plumage; the scarlet caps worn by the Lozi people as they punted their way through the quivering papyrus. It was April, and I’d travelled to western Zambia at the tail-end of the wet season when the Zambezi, Kabompo and Lungwebungu rivers spill across the landscape and turn the ground into a mirror of the sky.
