An African chicken (or something like that) taking a dirtbath in Kirstenbosch. This one's a male

The Atlantic Ocean side of the Cape of Good Hope. The sand here was made completely of seashells, and as you can see, the water was amazingly clear

Baboons at Cape Point, which includes a large nature reserve. The one on the left has a baby under her belly, though you can't really see it here. There are also zebra, ostriches, and some other antelope-type animals on this reserve.

An apartheid-era apartment complex in Oceanview, a township we were taken to on the trip to Cape Point. During apartheid, non-whites were moved from their land into housing like this far from the main city.
