If it wasn’t for the plains zebra, this scene in the drought-affected Pilanesberg could easily have been mistaken for the dry Southern Kalahari desert, complete with springbok.

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”.

Dis jammer dis die droogte wat die foto gemaak het want dis ‘n blerrie mooi foto! 😉
Mens kry selfs in die lelikste lelik iets moois ne.
Dis darem erg droog…pragtige foto,Dries.
Ons is intussen terug Pilanesberg toe gewees verlede naweek Dina, en die Park het darem reen gehad sedert ons hierdie fotos geneem het. Of dit genoeg sal wees om deur die winter te kom sal die tyd seker leer.
Zebras are perfect for monochrome. 🙂

We agree wholeheartedly, Janet, and the camera loves zebras!
Good thing the world isn’t black and white… Zebras wouldn’t stand a chance.
They’d still make very pretty pictures!
