This is what we were planning for our Safari Lodge Lawn Dinner last night....however the thunder started about 3pm, and the rain come on by 5pm.  Luckily our group of guests arrived in the nick of time, and the rain was a welcome relief after their long hot journey here.  Our guests had previously been backpacking, and the welcome drinks and cool face cloths were well received by them!  They had a lovely dinner in the safari restaurant, and went to bed contented and relaxed before their early morning wake up calls and drive into the park.
