On our first day out in Kruger National Park it was overcast and looked like we might be treated to a thunderstorm in the late afternoon. Driving along a dirt road the bush cleared and we came across this zebra standing on its own a little isolated from its herd. As we pulled up perpendicular to the stripy beast the heavens and earth aligned! Well, just the dark cloud background adding to striking contrast of an almost totally black and white animal.

Just chilling in the shade! Caroline and I had been staying at a totally new resort in KwaZulu-Natal where the game was still quite skittish when we took a day out to visit the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Nature Reserve.

Sometimes it almost felt like the game was posing for us. I love this shot because it captures the atmosphere and feel of game viewing in South Africa.
