where extensive vineyards carpet the valleys.

A watering hole in Kruger National Park

Day and night, a succession of animals flows in and out.

 

Female Impalas' turn, after the Elephant and before the Zebra.

Oxpecker birds are removing the Impalas' ticks.

 

An Elephant enjoys a self-service mud shower.

 

A Vulture dries itself after its bath.

 

Other animals give Cape Buffalo a wide berth when they arrive at a watering hole.

Known as "Widow-makers", Cape Buffalo kill more people than any other animal in Africa.

 

More docile are the Zebras, although they cannot be domesticated.
