Usually the rainy season starts in October and builds over November …. but this year, temperatures got unusually high in August and September, and the rainy season hasn’t gotten going yet … so things have gotten awfully dry. If we don’t get some good rain soon, then first animls will start being in trouble.
Until then … of course, it’s all about tying themselves over, and that only works by means of getting regular water supplies at waterholes, and they are now also starting to run quite low. So they are getting busy. For us and our guests, this is actually very interesting, because we tend to see a lot of game, quasi queuing up at these waterholes, and it makes for stunning photos.
See some of the ones we took yesterday … gives you an idea of what’s going on. From a safari tourist point of view, it’s fascinating stuff.
