It was so hot outside! The only thing one could do is to go for a swim. And that's it what we've done :-)

My mission was to see lions,which have been introduced fairly recently into the park to deal with the Warthogs. However,by the numbers of the warthog population, it looks like either the lions, leopards and hyenas do not know how to catch them or the warthogs are so many that the carnivores barely make a dent.

I bothered to take this one picture though.This place must have looked better in the old days (judging by the building's size and structure). What a pity, the 'new' South African government gives a shit about the past achievement if it does not involve them.

I took this picture just before getting into the vehicle. In the background you can see the Police Headquarters (Eastern Cape Province, South Africa)

Not only the quality is better in the manual compression but also the picture is bigger overall. On the other hand, auto compression is more convenient and quick.
