As of today, in season, building toward peak (~July 1). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
During the dry winter months in Hwange National Park (Zimbabwe), African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) concentrate at perennial pans and pumped waterholes.
Artificial boreholes and solar-powered pumps make water predictable, producing nightly gatherings of hundreds to thousands of elephants that drive Hwange’s signature wildlife viewing.
