There has been no rain for seven months and every animal, large and small, is locked in a struggle to survive - the elephant and her new born baby, the tiny lion cubs threatened by a power struggle in the pride and the hundreds of hippos and crocodiles squashed uncomfortably close as the river bed dries up.

It's been the longest dry season in living memory but the rains have finally come and now everything has changed.
