The scene depicts a wide expanse of the Malanja Depression, Tanzania, under a clear, pale blue sky. The foreground consists of dry, yellowish-brown grass and scattered low scrub, with several lighter, possibly dry mud or mineralized patches on the ground. A distinct horizontal band of denser, dark green wetland vegetation crosses the midground, behind which lies more dry grassland. Within and immediately adjacent to this green band, a large herd of numerous dark-colored ungulates, consistent with wildebeest or buffalo, is visible, distributed across the terrain. Scattered acacia-like trees punctuate the midground landscape. In the distant background, a prominent, hazy blue-grey mountain range or escarpment, appearing forested on its slopes, rises against the horizon. The lighting indicates bright daylight conditions. No human subjects or their immediate actions are discernible.
