Surviving the Drought

The Ruaha National Park in the south of Tanzania used to be a true paradise for wildlife gathered around the rich Ruaha river. Today however, its sparkling waters are nothing more than a remote dream. A life-or-death quest for water has begun and the bewildered animals have no choice but to follow the dry riverbed upstream hoping to find water.

 

Witness to this tragedy, a pride of hungry and thirsty lionesses and their cubs overlook the last pockets of water, and give no other choice to the females but to follow the herds of herbivores in their migration.

 

Will the lionesses and the other animals find water in time to save themselves?
