Dis ‘n pragtige landskapfoto!
En is daar nie mooi landskappe langs die Mphongolo-rivier nie!?
What a scene to see so many at once!
Everlasting memories, Joanne!
That’s a wonderful scene!
One to remember for ever and ever!
Magnificent shot, Dries, but receding water sources are always alarming even if elephants are ever the great water diviners. I think we must have been getting everyone’s rain here in the UK.
Being our dry season now this will be the norm until the rains come again from October / November, Tish. And as you say, elephants are great at finding hidden watersources and the wells they dig sustain so many other animals through the dry months.
This is looking critical for water supply – what is the outlook till the next rainy season?
At this stage I don’t think there’s reason for worry yet, Liz – both the Shingwedzi and Mphongolo in this area still has quite a number of fairly big waterholes and the elephants are digging wells with ease. The vegetation is looking healthy and the general game in great condition.
nice share…
Thank you!
