This water hole wasn’t too far from the camp I was staying at in the Kalahari Desert of Botswana. The first few days we had seen quite a few antelope species stopping for a drink, but then finally the big boys showed up. This guy filled up for quite awhile and as soon as he got up to leave, a second big-maned male walked up and took his spot. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 400, f/6.3 at 1/400th of a second.
——- Other than the random croc
——- It seems most water holes not
——- Wholly owned though visited
——- By mambas and da cobras
——–A lion here can boldly go to
——- To get water on his toe
——- By being not so blustery
——- Peace on ya bra .
