Is Kruger Dry-Season Waterhole Congregation happening right now?

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 Kruger National Park's dry season, wildlife - from elephant and buffalo to zebra, antelope and large cats - concentrate at permanent rivers, dams and artificial waterholes.

Sparse vegetation and shrinking water make encounters at these sites predictably productive for game viewing across the park's southern, central and northern regions.
