These images were taken by professional photographer Clint Ralph in the Savuti desert near Chobe National park while the area was undergoing the worst drought in living memory.

The animals can be seen clamouring over each other trying to get some water from one of two remaining waterholes in the area.

Clint, 55 from Centurion, Gauteng, South Africa said:

“In this particular area there were two active waterholes that actually had not dried up yet. The area was experiencing the worst drought in living memory with the animals taking extreme pressure as the vegetation was super scarce and water was nowhere to be found.”

“The anxiety at the waterhole was palpable. Terrible to witness such extreme weather conditions obviously impacted by the climate change.”

2010s hottest decade on record, with 2019 second hottest year

Southern Africa has been suffering consecutive years of abnormally hot weather and below average rainfall that have parched grazing lands and dried up watering holes since 2015, the driest year on record.

The toll on wildlife in areas that are suffering from unprecedented drought has been immense.
