A warthog finding respite from the heat in a pool of mud at the Mankwe Hide in Pilanesberg National Park.
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 was worried, at first. Glad this is normal cooling behavior!

I have only once. Although I felt amazing afterwards, I didn’t much care for the process of getting there 😉

If you could get him to wake up, he’ll probably move over to make some space for you Nivs! 😀
