Safari

Published on Feb, 2025

During my recent visit to Cape Town, I had the opportunity to embark on a safari at the Aquila Private Game Reserve. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome drink and a buffet lunch. The reserve is home to the Big Five: lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, and leopards. During our game drive, we were fortunate to observe four of the Big Five—lions, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo—up close. The knowledgeable guide provided insightful commentary on the animals’ behaviors and the reserve’s conservation efforts.

We are not really animal friendly but the whole experience of this safari was amazing, from the friendly and helpful driver/tour guide to the guide on the safari bus. Had an amazing day

It was a great introduction to a safari. Not far from Cape Town, lovely setting, well organised and we saw the big 5.

Very professional in the way it's delivered.

Long drive there and back however our driver Denver provided notes of interest and drove with real care and attention. Delicious and varied buffet lunch was provided. Our safari guide Abriel was knowledgeable and passionate about his subject of animal welfare and conservation. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Saw plenty of animals, lots of time to take photographs and enjoy the experience.

Excellent, well recommended.

Published on Feb, 2025

Long 2 hour drive to the reserve, but driver did a comfort break both ways. On arrival, welcomed with a glass of fizz. Buffett lunch was of a good standard. Game drive was excellent, saw 4 out of the big 5, only missing the leopard, plus lots more different spices, even a baby giraffe who was only a couple of weeks old. Safari guide was really passionate about his job and the animals. Full of facts and open about how he felt for the care of the wildlife. The drive is around two hours, but they have a watering hole within the reserves where you have a short break with refreshments, can have more free fizz our water, with toilet facilities. An excellent excursion and highly recommend for a quick day safari ftom Cape Town.
