These aren't great images since they were taken from a moving car, but they are unusual if you're not from that part of the world.  We went on a road trip east of Cape Town.  The scenery varied from "Africa out of story books" to "this looks like eastern Washington state".    Some of the wildlife and not-so-wild life was definitely not familiar to North American eyes.  Ostriches are raised like cattle and many of the wide spots on the road have signs exhorting you to beware of baboons.
