We were treated to an incredible sighting of vultures scavenging on an impala ram that had been brought down by a pack of wild dogs.
Although they will bathe in water, they do their best to try avoid it when they can. Not only can water hide dangers such as crocodiles, but it can also wet the feathers of vultures, making it difficult for them to take off to escape danger, which is usually never far from an exposed carcass.
But beggars can't be choosers, so the group carefully fed on the impala, making sure to lift their wings to avoid water washing off their preen oil.
