A YOUNG male elephant rejoices as he takes a swim during a brief respite from the droughts in South Africa. The African nation is currently in the grips of a drought after the country experienced the lowest rainfall since records began. The drought has also hit South Africa’s wildlife hard, which explains why this young male elephant looked so happy when he found a watering hole to cool off in. Shot by wildlife guide Stacey Farrell, the images were taken on January 27 at iMfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa - the oldest wildlife reserve in Africa, which played a major role in saving the white rhino from extinction in the 1960s.
