Buffelsfontein Game Reserve, South Africa

A day trip in November 2017 to Buffelsfontein Game & Nature Reserve, about an hour up the West Coast from Cape Town, during the same trip as the Cape Town and Masiphumelele galleries. The landscape is Western Cape scrub, wildflowers and big skies rather than the open savanna most people picture, and a different backdrop for giraffes and rhinos.

What's in the gallery

Giraffes against storm clouds, two white rhinos grazing head to head, a lioness resting with her cubs, zebras with a foal, a line of wildebeest crossing the grass, ostriches among yellow wildflowers, a pair of eland, a baboon foraging in the scrub, and a lion cub asleep in the afternoon.
