The source
The ongoing drought in South Africa reminded us of how important water is to all living things. It truly is - and will forever be - the source of all life.
Fortunately Zimanga still has enough water for the animals due to a huge lake alongside the reserve. It even distributes water to villages and other game reserves. A big thumbs up for them!
The night was nearly over in the Umgodi overnight hide and the sun wasn't even up yet when this group of wildebeest came in for a drink. I really love the wide-angle effect, portraying them beautifully against the blue morning sky.
