What you can expect

Get ready for a safari tour through a Big Five Game Reserve, hoping to catch sight of the Big 5—buffalo, elephant, lion and rhino. Soak up incredible scenery during an enthralling game drive, and then savor an indulgent buffet-style lunch at the lodge.

Get picked up from your hotel in Cape Town and head east toward the Big Five Game Reserve while enjoying beautiful natural scenery along the way. After arriving at the park, enjoy a refreshing welcome drink before meeting an experienced field guide and climbing into an open-air 4x4 safari vehicle. Your safari begins! Cruise through the park and keep your eyes peeled for the Big 5, cameras at the ready!

In the meantime, look out for blesbok loping along the plain—their long, white faces making them instantly identifiable. You may even get to marvel at lanky ostriches making their way across the arid reserve road. Keep cruising, searching for lions lazing in the sun and elephants jutting out above the African horizon.

Following your safari, savor a delectable buffet-style lunch at the lodge. Make a leisurely return to Cape Town in the late afternoon.

An enjoyable, well-organized and reasonably-priced safari on private reserve land. Chrystal and Belinda from Cullinam Adventure Tours followed-up efficiently regarding collection details. The driver (Evans (sp?)) was prompt and drove safely to and from the site, although he did not offer much commentary en route; that was left up to the game drive guides. The lunch at Aquila was plentiful and tasty. Our game drive guide was knowledgeable and informative and ensured that we got some great views of the animals. It was a long but highly enjoyable and successful tour.

I had a hard time getting a good seal on my mask so I had a difficult time trying to snorkel. The cookie at the end was so hard that I broke a tooth trying to take a bite.
