These are plains zebra or Burchell's zebra, recognizable by stripes that go all the way under the belly, shadow stripes within the white fields, and a long, thick mane that goes well down the back.
Zebra are fairly common in the bush. They are part of the food chain for the big cats.
In America we call them ZEE' bruh. In Africa, they are called ZEB' ruh.
Our guide told us zebra stay together in part as a protective measure.
The patterns run together and some predators think they are one big animal.
We ran across so many zebra that I stopped taking photographs of them.

They are great looking. Nice shots Jack.
You got some GREAT shots of these beautiful animals. So sorry you aren't having any fun, Jack!!
So great, I hope you get to see some giraffe.
they are beautiful!
These zebras are giving you their full attention. Perhaps they are checking to see if you look hungry. You might have gotten tired to taking their pictures, but I'll never tire looking at them.
Oh, they are beautiful and I do like that slight difference in the plains zebras!! Terrific captures as always, Jack!! You are indeed making the most of your visit!! Thank you for sharing -- again, as always!!
They are such beautiful animals.
Whether they're white with black stripes or black with white stripes, they are totally fab to shoot! With a camera :)
Wonderful looking creatures, Jack! And great pics.
Great photos, They always strike me as unlikely looking horses but beautiful. Particularly the stripey mohican effect of their manes here.
Magnificent wild-life pics Jack ..... so totally out of your jurisdiction but I'm loving it.
Beautiful captures. You're going to be a busy man going through all your safari photos (and deciding which ones to enlarge and frame).
