Wildlife photographer Greg du Toit tried to photograph lions drinking at their watering hole hiding in hides and trenches… but came up with no keepers. So he threw all caution to wind, climbed into the murky waters and sat half-submerged for 3 hours each day, 7 days a week, for 3 months and waited for the lions and other animals to come drink. For his patience, he got amazing photos — and contracted Bilharzia, malaria and several other worm parasites.

Has he never heard of fly fishing overall or even scuba diving suits?
