Aquilla Game Park

After a few days R and R in Gordan’s Bay we are off on a safari in Aquilla Game Park. We will be staying overnight, but I am sure we will be safe from the wildlife.

This was our lodge for the night but don’t feel too sorry for us as we had a lovely Jacuzzi on a porch outside the lodge with a view to die for.

We started looking for game as soon as we arrived and saw several of the larger animals moving around the watering hole about a kilometre from our lodge.

From our veranda we could see a rhino but it is a bit difficult to see in this shot.

At 5 pm we set off for our first game drive and within a few minutes spotted our first wildlife.

For the rest of the evening, we drove through the reserve spotting something new every few minutes. I did fill my 1Gb card but will only post a few.

After three hours bumping along very rough ground, we were ready for a hot shower and a candle lit three course dinner with rather good wine. After a Jacuzzi under a star lit sky we turned into our four poster for an early night as we had to up and ready for a 6am drive in the morning!
