11 June 2018 - Part 2/4

A Purple Roller having breakfast seen on the road to Tshokwane.

Image

After action satisfaction.

Image

A baobab that we all know - but no leopard.

Image

Image

A Punk Purple Roller.

Image

At Tshokwane.

Image

A buffalo pie and babotie jaffle for brunch. ^Q^ ^Q^

Image

Tshokwane has really been jacked up. Far better food than at the camp restaurant especially Tindlovu.

Tindlovu present you with a menu on a flimsy, greasy piece of paper, their prices are ridiculous and their staff are unpleasant to deal with. 0= 0=

I did mention this on the feedback form I completed on our return.

Just a few of the unusual décor they have put up.

To be continued.

The food looks brilliant there, stf! ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Apparently one is not allowed to complain about camp restaurants, as they are out in the bush so what can you expect and such crap. Tshokwane is way further out in the bush... O**


What was the price?


Sorry you didn't make it to the loo in time, but what can one do? :-(

Nice roller action! \O \O \O

Tshokwane put all the other camp restaurants to shame for quality of food, the varierty of food, the quality of service and friendliness of all.

June 11 2018 - Part 4/4.

Some final pics of the day at Lake Panic.

Image

Image

Image

The same Pied Kingfisher in the previous photograph turned around to face us as he bashed that fish against the branch. This took a long time but he eventually swallowed the fish.

Image

Image

And finally for today - Thick Knee.

To be continued.

The decor is rather debatable O** but it shows that they are working on making a nice place out of it ^Q^ ^Q^

Another big bite for the kingfisher, but if he managed to swallow it...... Great pics \O

I love your comments ^Q^ ^Q^
