“This is Tarangire, a national park in Tanzania and one of my most favorite places in East Africa,” Simon says. “It is midday under a cloudless, scorching sky. At an isolated waterhole under the shade of beautiful Acacia Tortilis trees, many different species of animals come to drink. All the creatures of the wild trudge daily through the hot, dusty, gray bush past giant baobab trees to quench their thirst at this oasis.”
