Elephants at Bolts Island, Chirundu

African Elephants (Loxodonta africana) navigating the shoreline of Bolts Island on the Zambezi River, near Chirundu, Zimbabwe. This 2017 photograph captures the lush, riverine vegetation and the constant movement of elephant herds between the mainland and the islands. The scene reflects the wild, untamed nature of the Zambezi border region, where the river serves as both a life source and a highway for the valley's giants.
