Great Tour

Wonderful time! It was a gorgeous day! It was everything we were expecting and more. We were comfortable from the time we arrived until we left. Our tour guide, Ronald, was very knowledgeable and tried to show us all the animals. Unfortunately, the lions were elusive that day. We never felt rushed when viewing the animals, so we were able to get all the pictures we wanted. Once we arrived at the park, we were served a delicious cocktail then proceeded to a buffet-style lunch which contained a variety of South African cuisine. A baboon entertained us briefly, but the staff quickly shooed it away so everyone could eat in peace. Although, he sat quietly on the roof watching. It was actually quite funny. We all enjoyed the day and leaned a lot. We only spent the day so no reviews on accommodations. Aquila is convenient to Cape Town with beautiful scenery along the way.
