Eco Synergy

 During our safari weekend stay at Aquila, we experienced a different side to the reserve, beyond the animals. Across the road from the main facilities, Aquila has an Eco Center. We went on a tour of the center, which primarily featured gardens, plants, bees, and fish raised there. A lot of the food served in Aquila is harvested from the gardens at the center. To keep everything flourishing, the Eco Center develops and uses its own composted fertilizer sources, which includes the beneficial usage of special worms. 

Our guide was very passionate about his own and the Eco Center's work. Observing the center's commitment to promoting a sustainable development ethic served as a practical window for us to learn about how economic activities can be conducted without negative impacts on the environment. Seeing that the food we ate came from right across the road was very satisfying It brought nature closer to us in a unique way!
