The image was captured in Moremi National Park, Botswana, and features a pride of lions that successfully took down a large elephant. There were about 7 to 8 lions in the pride, and the hunt lasted all night.

Photo by Bose Bonda for National Geographic Amazing story about natural water sources in Southern Africa with the Okavango Wilderness Project. Caption from the magazine: The Okavango Wilderness Project team pilots several flat-bottom canoes called mokoro along the Cubango River, which wends through the western part of the Angolan highlands. The expedition crew's mokoros are loaded to allow access to what is needed on the water while keeping the boats carefully balanced to avoid capsizing.

At a time when conditions are becoming more restrictive for LGBTQ+ people in some parts of Africa, the Republic of Botswana has taken an important step in protecting LGBTQ+ rights by officially removing old colonial-era laws that banned same-sex relationships from its statute books.

This move places Botswana alongside other African countries that have decriminalised same-sex relations, including South Africa, Angola, Mozambique, Seychelles, Cape Verde, and Lesotho.
