Description: A quiet drink, licking his lips.

Story from behind the lens: We spotted this male giraffe on his own in an isolated location. We watched and followed him majestically make his way to a discreet water hole with a high vantage point. We quietly watched him as he straddled down into position several times to drink his fill unperturbed by us or the threat of a predators. He was very relaxed and happy to quench his thirst, savouring every last drop.
