One day in the Savanna (Zambia)
Pierre Huguet
The savannah is astonishing, forever vibrating with a mixture of natural and mystical sounds. Recorded along the Luangwa river in Zambia, during the dry season in August, when the river recedes leaving a few pools in the dry savannah, and when the birds begin to gather 54 min.
