based on 66 reviews

We had a great time at Aquila. The person who drove us to the Aquila reserve was very friendly. On site, at lunch time, the people were very welcoming. We received a welcome drink. Lunch is included but not the other drinks, so you have to plan a little money for that. During the safari, the ranger was very nice. He spoke only English and spoke very fast, remember to be accompanied by someone who speaks good English and can translate what he says for you. The return trip went very well. We had an amazing time. We saw lots of animals and were able to get really close to them, it was awesome!

A very good trip, saw plenty of animals inc loins rhinos and elephants the ranger was very knowledgeable too. A drink was given on arrival and a buffet lunch was also provided, which was more than adequate. The only one of the big five we didn’t see was the Leopard which supposedly was not unusual as they are rarely seen. Well worth the money.

The safari was incredibly beautiful and we saw the Big Five, among other things. Our guide was very nice and told interesting things about the animals. There was a free cold drink at the beginning and in between. The transfer from and to Cape Town worked perfectly! Only the lunch in Aquila wasn't particularly good, but okay.

A lovely day safari with well organized transport, welcome lunch and drinks. The private game reserve is well maintained and you can see the big 5. maybe not as many animals as in the wild, but very nice to get so close to them. The guide was great and had valuable information.

Great day! Loved it..the drive out was beautiful and Aquila Game Preserve did a fantastic job!
