We started our morning off early waking up around 5:30am to get ready for the bus departure at 6:30am to Aquila Private Game Reserve. There were 60 of us shoved onto a double decker bus with some of the nicest tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They pulled out movies that they had brought for us to watch and whoever was sitting in front decided on a burned copy of old MTV music videos from the 90s.
We made our way through the most beautiful scenery traveling up and around and through mountains. When we arrived at the game reserve, we were treated with a glass of champagne when we stepped off the bus and we were off to begin our open jeep safari with blankets provided.
Traveling through the gates we were immediately greeted by an elephant and some black rhinos. Our tour guide, Alvin, was very informative along the way. Throughout our safari on the game reserve we saw zebras, black rhinos, white rhinos, elephants, ostriches, steenbok, lions, crocodiles, hippos, and a cheetah. They stopped half way through where they fed us more champagne and everyone took pictures.
We traveled back to the lodge where we were treated to the best lunch I have had in a long time. We took our time enjoying the atmosphere before climbing back on the bus to drive back to the ship.
