Snow Safari

These surreal images of giraffes and elephants amongst a winter wonderland were captured in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, which has just experienced a cold weather snap.

Snow in this region of South Africa is not uncommon, however this cold front has arrived later than usual in the season. This is reminiscent of the Beast from the East, which cloaked the UK in a blanket of snow back in March.

These arresting images were taken by Kitty Viljoen and have been shared widely on social media, intriguing thousands who are only accustomed to seeing African wildlife on the sandy plains.

Just stunning.
