Monkey business. Snacking away. Snapping away. Living in the moment.

The Pilanesberg National Park is situated on the eroded remains of an extinct alkaline volcanic crater - one of only three in the world.
Forever associated with Sun City, the Park consists of numerous hills, wooded ravines and grassed open plains, a very picturesque setting. A wide diversity of eco-types makes a beautiful home for more than 35 species of large mammals, the sought-after "Big Five" and more than 300 bird species.
Sometimes we forget the little guys though. I watched this young Vervet tackle the Spring buds on a warm day in Manyane. So intent. Focused. Living in the moment. He knew I was there. But he let me be. Keeping half an eye on me, as I snap'd away, and he snacked away.
It was a refreshing moment.
As it should be.
