After visiting the shop and buying some ice creams (which took quite a while ) we left Letaba and soon arrived at Olifants as there was nothing to stop for on the way.
We headed to the restaurant and managed to get a table outside on the deck. After placing our orders everyone wandered off to check out the view.
Impala in the distance which turned out to be giraffe when viewed through binoculars.
There were some waterbuck a bit closer.
The drinks eventually arrived but the food took quite a lot longer, so we went back to look for more stuff.
Even SO got into the spirit of things!
A lifer for me...Greyheaded Bush-shrike!
The food did eventually arrive. We had all ordered toasted sandwiches with two variations...two on brown bread and one with salad...but they still managed to mess up the order! Anyway, the food wasn't bad and filled the holes in our stomachs. Everyone then wanted to check out the shop again which, again, took a while. Leopard and lion had been seen south of the camp and we thought of trying to find them but then realised we'd taken rather a long time with our lunch and had to start heading back towards the gate.
