The afternoon safari is a thrilling journey through the reserve’s 10,000-hectare expanse. As the sun begins its descent, the landscape is bathed in a golden hue, creating a picturesque backdrop for your safari. The open safari vehicle offers unobstructed views of the wildlife, and the guides ensure you don’t miss any of the action. A recent review from 2024-11-01 captures the essence of this experience:

Great! Great! Great! - Take the afternoon ride if you can. Already the drive through the vineyards and the mountains is enjoyable. Of course, this 2.5 hrs safari in Aquila cannot be compared to a few days in Kruegers, but you see the animals in their natural surroundings - during a half day trip from Cape Town.

This afternoon adventure is a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement, offering a unique perspective on the region’s wildlife.
