Absolutely brilliant day! We were picked up by our lovely guide Mr Yannick. He was brilliant, really responsive via messaging, picked us up in a lovely car, told us lots of information about Cape Town. The safari / game drive was brilliant! Would highly recommend. Again Yannick was fab, waiting for us post game drive to take us back to the hotel , would highly recommend Emily

The day was fantastic! Our driver, who drove us to and forth Aqulia, Jean-Claude was funny, helpful and so friendly! He made sure the drive was pleasant and even though it was raining, he kept a positive attitude and said it will stop which it did. The experience at Aqulia was also amazing. We got to see 4/5 of the big Five, as well as giraffes, zebras, hippos and ostriches up close. We didn’t see the giraffes inside Aqulia but on our way home, Jean-Claude spotted them and stopped the car so we could go out and see them! We would recommend the trip!

Full description

Begin your game drive adventure with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Cape Town. Board a comfortable vehicle and head towards the Aquila Private Game Reserve, a 10,000-hectare reserve that's home to Africa's Big Five.

Enjoy a bit of downtime once you arrive at the park, taking the opportunity to stretch your legs as you sip a complimentary welcome drink. Tea, coffee, and light snacks will also be served during this time.

Then, hop aboard an open 4x4 safari game truck to set out on your sunset game drive. Listen as an experienced ranger tells captivating stories about the animals and their surroundings.

This is the best time of day to spot wildlife as the animals begin to move towards watering holes after a hot day in the Karoo veld. Keep an eye out for antelopes and giraffes, as well as the Big Five – lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo.

After your game drive, spend some time unwinding by the pool or purchase a drink from the bar before heading back to Cape Town.

It was super great. The drive there was very comfortable. Isidore was such a nice driver. He kept us entertained and was very nice. The safari itself was absolutely great. The Aquila resort offers great food and a great view. The workers are also friendly. The safari guide talent was also a great choice. We had an awesome day. I can recommend it to every single person.
