In contrast to most of the other bodies of water in the Park, the large Lake Mankwe in the centre of the Pilanesberg still held a considerable volume of water, and was a predictable magnet for wildlife, such as this male impala.
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’ve been enjoying your monochrome series. Thanks for taking the time to put these together.
Thank you for taking the time to come visit here daily, John!
Pragfoto!
Dankie Dina!
Great photo!
Thank you very much!
Die impala se horings fasineer my altyd!
Die rooibokke is vir my pragtig, dis jammer dat hulle soms so volop is dat mense hulle amper nie eers raaksien nie!
Dis nogal waar!
I’m continually amazed at how lovely these photos are in B&W. I often prefer color, but B&W offers a whole new perspective.
