The story behind the image
In 2006 we headed for the second time to the south of Africa, this time for two weeks in Namibia. One of the major attractions of the country is the Etosha National Park. Unlike other national parks it is not too busy with tourists, and we had been able to experience unspoilt nature without major distractions. We spent one night at the Halali camp inside the park, and the Moringa waterhole sits right next to the camp. It can be observed around the clock from the camp.
We had had an exciting evening already, and we had all day to get to our next destination, so we sat down at the waterhole for another twenty minutes the next morning, enjoying the scene above: Zebras, Impalas, and other animals were peacefully standing next to each other, drinking water and refreshing themselves before disappearing into the wilderness of the national park again.
