It was wintertime when I visited Namibia and the countryside was dry, so all the action took place at the waterholes. Day and night these life-giving pools were a hive of activity as animals and birds came to drink.

Among the most fascinating to watch were the elephants.

These two were so funny, tugging at each other's ears.

And this little one caught my eye as it charged gleefully around in the dust.

These two appeared to be having a quiet chat, before, shortly afterwards, they began a mock fight.

Whilst these two young bull elephants were testing each other's strength.
