In many scenes there are shots without sun followed by shots with no sun and cloudy sky. When MacGyver arrives at the sugar factory and the SUV is shown from the outside there is no sun, when you see Mac and Kate Hubley inside the car you can see there is sun outside. The same happens at various times during this episode.
Several shots include pine trees, that are not native to Africa, but of course native to the area around Vancouver where this was shot.
