With a previous video focusing on the facilitation and purification of water, I thought there would be no better way to bring the week to an end, than by showing us the masters of digging water wells, the African elephant.

We were on foot in the Greater Kruger National Park in an area east of the confluence of the Mapadeni and Baderukwe drainage lines, when we came on this stunning sighting. To the untrained eye, these seemingly dry river beds look like a sea of sand, yet in this area, just below the surface, we are often able to find water.

Through centuries of walking this undulating and incredibly beautiful mopane filled landscape the elephants have come to know this and they are often to be found here. After they have drunk from the wells they dig, they indirectly facilitate water for other species. Symbiotic relationships, of all types, are massively important here. You cannot help seeing the little family of warthog hanging around waiting to drink.

Wild Africa at its best, just love it!
