We received a warm welcome from restaurant when we arrived and I must say the place looked fafabulous and love all the o - While in Cape Town,we booked a day trip to Aquila Game Reserve. It’s just under 2 hours from the city and a perfect option if you’re short on time but still want to experience a real safari. They picked us up early from our hotel, and from that point on, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. When we arrived at the lodge, we were welcomed with a drink, then treated to a delicious buffet lunch (included, and yes, we definitely went back for seconds ). We were out spotting Africa’s Big 5 before noon, and the experience didn’t disappoint. To set the mood, our driver had the ultimate playlist for the ride: Africa, The Lion Sleeps Tonight: (A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh), Circle of Life, Eye of the Tiger, and Sweet Caroline (BA BA BA). It was the perfect soundtrack to kick off our adventure. If you’re in Cape Town and craving a quick, affordable safari experience without the time or cost of flying to Kruger, Aquila’s half- or full-day tours are a fantastic option. Highly recommend!
