Description: Photography by Valji Varia natural-variation.com Elephant having difficulty standing up after mud bath in the Mashatu Game Reserve, Botswana. This hardveld area consists of rocky outcrops and huge Nyala and yellow barked fever trees along the banks of the Motloutse and Limpopo rivers. Sheer basalt cliffs and deep gorges carved into the ancient granite rocks by seasonal rivers and springs structure this wild terrain, which is one of the best places in Southern Africa for ornithologists.
