The image depicts a savanna landscape with dry grass and sparse trees. The presence of a dirt road and the overall vegetation suggests a region with a dry climate. The copyright ’Google’ in the bottom corners indicates it’s a Google Street View image. Given the landscape characteristics, it is likely located in Southern Africa, particularly in countries like South Africa, Mozambique, or Zimbabwe. The specific coordinates (-24.330155, 31.453915) point to a location in Kruger National Park, South Africa, which matches the observed landscape.

The landscape features high-savanna grasslands and sparse mopane/acacia-style trees consistent with the Lowveld region of South Africa. The sun’s position and the dry winter vegetation suggest the southern hemisphere. This specific view is characteristic of the Kruger National Park area near Satara, where open plains meet wooded savanna.

The image shows dry grassland with scattered trees characteristic of African savanna. The vegetation appears to be in dry season with golden-brown grasses. The tree distribution and landscape composition is typical of Botswana’s interior regions, particularly around central or eastern Botswana where mixed woodland savanna is common. The soil color, grass type, and overall ecosystem suggests this is likely in the Kalahari region or similar semi-arid savanna habitat in southern Africa, most consistent with central Botswana.

The image depicts a dry savanna landscape with golden grasslands, scattered flat-topped acacia-like trees, and a clear blue sky with a low sun, which is characteristic of the South African bushveld during the dry season. This type of terrain and vegetation is common in regions like Kruger National Park or surrounding areas, where Google Street View is available on rural roads.

The image shows a dry African savanna landscape with scattered deciduous trees (likely miombo or similar woodland), dry golden grass, and a paved road edge. The vegetation pattern, dry season conditions, and general landscape appearance are characteristic of southern Africa, particularly Zimbabwe or northern Botswana/Limpopo region. The Google watermark confirms this is a Google Street View image. The flat terrain with sparse tree cover and dry grassland suggests this could be along a major road in southern Zimbabwe or the Limpopo province area, likely around the Matabeleland or Masvingo regions.

Dry, flat bushveld with tall yellow grass and sparse, deciduous/whipy trees (mopane/Acacia-like) typical of the South African Lowveld. The pavement edge and rural, open savanna look match Google Street View coverage around the Hoedspruit/Limpopo–Mpumalanga region near Kruger National Park. Sun angle and dry season vegetation are consistent with the southern hemisphere. Chosen coordinates are a representative point in that area.

The image shows a dry grassland with scattered trees, typical of the southern plains region in Texas, USA. The landscape features, including the flat terrain, dry vegetation, and tree distribution, match areas like the Texas Hill Country or South Plains. Based on common Google Street View coverage in rural Texas and vegetation patterns, coordinates were estimated near 32.223°N, 100.382°W, consistent with locations in Coleman County or surrounding rural Texas areas.

The image shows a dry savanna landscape with tall golden grass and scattered acacia-type trees typical of the African bushveld. The flat terrain, clear blue sky, and specific vegetation pattern are characteristic of the Kruger National Park area or surrounding regions in Limpopo/Mpumalanga provinces, South Africa. Google Street View has extensive coverage in South African game reserves, particularly Kruger. The road edge visible in the bottom left suggests a paved road through the park. The dry season appearance (brown grass, leafless trees) is consistent with this region’s winter season. The coordinates place this in the general vicinity of Kruger National Park in northeastern South Africa.
Each model receives the same Google Street View image. Models are tasked with guessing the location of the image using only visual clues from the street view. Their answers are evaluated without feedback or retries.
