In Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe

A few years ago, we donated a water hole in Hwange National Park, i.e. the borehole, the pump, the solar system and the photovoltaic system for the pump power. At Ray's pan, as the well is called, we also met our old friend Calvet, who once helped unveil the plaque commemorating us. Unfortunately, the well had very little water during our visit, as the elephants had massively enlarged the basin by removing the mud they needed to protect their skin. In addition, countless elephants drink from this well every day. As a result, the water supply could not keep up. A few weeks later, however, the well was filled with sufficient water again.

The rush for the arteficial water hole is continues unabated.

But there was plenty of water at another well.

The next day we tracked down the mum leopard with her 2 cubs.

As always, a farewell visit to the 1 km long Victoria Falls
