In Search of Life-Giving Water

Tsavo West National Park · Kenya

I photographed this herd of elephants in Tsavo West National Park, where water is one of the most precious resources in the dry African landscape.

While travelling through Tsavo West National Park in Kenya, I watched how completely elephants depend on water. In the heat of the African day, even a muddy pool can become a place of relief, cooling their massive bodies and giving the herd a moment of rest. I took this photograph while observing a group moving across the open landscape in search of water — a simple reminder of how closely life in the savannah is tied to every available source of moisture.
