The sun has just lifted its head above the Pilanesberg’s hills, and this male baboon is surveying the area before the troop sets off foraging. Having settled onto his comfortable seat, all he seems to need now is his morning coffee!
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”.

Why would anyone take it as an insult to be compared with him? 🙂
That’s probably the same thing he’s mulling over in his head 😉
I’m sure he’s contemplating some major philosophical question. 🙂
He certainly seems very pensive, Pat!
