Iconic African Animals Covered in Snow After Freak Sub-Saharan Blizzard (PHOTOS)

Social media user Kitty Viljoen shared photos of elephants walking in the snow in the Sneeuberg mountain range on the Western Cape of South Africa. She also snapped photos of snow-covered giraffes in the Karoo, a semidesert region of South Africa.

A video shared by Snow Report SA shows giraffes standing in front of the Swartberg mountain range in the Western Cape province with snow-covered mountains in the background.

Across the Eastern Cape, several roads were shut down by the South African Department of Transport last week due to icy conditions.

Temperatures dropped below freezing across parts of the Western Cape including Cederberg, the Hex River Mountains and the Matroosberg Reserve, the Guardian reported Monday.
