It's the end of November in the Luangwa Valley, and the rains have begun, ending a brutal dry season and beginning the transition to luscious wetland.
As the dry season takes hold in Luangwa Valley, lagoons dry up and verdant grasslands will gradually turn to dust. Animals must take advantage while they can.
South Luangwa National Park is one of Africa's great wild places. The life of every animal is linked to the two vastly different seasons - the wet and the dry.
