Is Etosha Waterhole Wildlife Congregation happening right now?

As of today, peak season now, through ~August 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

During Namibia's dry season (May - October) wildlife in Etosha National Park concentrates at permanent and borehole-fed waterholes.

Elephants, zebras, giraffes, antelope and predators come daily to drink, making waterholes like Okaukuejo, Halali and Namutoni among the most reliable places in southern Africa to observe large-mammal interactions at close range.
