The relaxed nature of the animals at Pretoria’s Rietvlei Nature Reserve allows for excellent close-up photographic opportunities, as was the case with this plains zebra that walked straight past our vehicle.
Our end-of-year 2015 holidays were absolutely packed to the brim. Apart from our ten-day visit to the Kruger National Park (read more about our time at Lower Sabie, Olifants and Shingwedzi in December), we also made day trips to five other reserves, and will be sharing photos from those (except Suikerbosrand, which we introduced in a post all of its own) daily through the month of February, in a series we call “a month of monochrome memories”.

I always love your pictures of all the wildlife you are so lucky to get to photograph. Do you by chance sell your work?
It does our self-esteem very good when we get a pat on the back from a talented photographer like you, thank you Sonya! While we don’t dedicate much effort into selling our pictures, we haven’t closed the door on that option either.
Your quite welcome and I thank you. Do you have an email on your blog I can email you at?
I hope you don’t mind, Sonya, but to prevent spam I’d rather not specify our e-mail address here. If you wouldn’t mind, if you complete our contact form (https://dewetswild.com/contact/) the message will go to our e-mail address, and then when I respond you’ll have our e-mail address?
I will do that right now thank you I understand.
