Ja Lis, not bad for just two days. \O I actually used the Brat's lens on this trip just to try it out...well spotted. ;-) Even though it's a better lens than mine, I'm so used to how mine works that I feel more comfortable with it. O**

Yep, a few years ago we thought the park and animals were in a bad state, but it's doing great now! \O

We just spent two nights at Sun City and managed to get a few hours in the park. We drove up on Wednesday afternoon and decided to drive through the park to get to Sun City so we entered at Manyane Gate.

The bush is extremely green on the way to Sun City and in the park.
