Great day, great experience - wonderful day. Hosts were on time, courteous, informative and considerate during our time together. They gave me great insights into the safari experience and helped increase my enjoyment. The Aquila reserve was impressive to see the wildlife up close and personal.

Safari Park - Great and friendly Driver and tour guide. Safari Park was set in a beautiful area. We saw all big five animals. If you have just a day to spend out of the city, it is worth the time.

Was such a lovely day... - Was such a lovely day traveling from Cape Town out to the Aguila animal reserve. My guide, Ian, was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Had such a wonderful day with him! He went out of his way to share his love of this beautiful country with the participants. Definitely look forward to returning someday and exploring more of South Africa with him! I don’t know why, but I thought that there would be a large group of us? But it was just myself and another solo traveler. I feel very lucky to have received such personalized attention! The reserve itself is gorgeous and the staff there were very knowledgeable about the animals and their care. The time spent at the reserve was really lovely. The lunch buffet was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this tour.

Very accommodating! - This was a great option to see Aquila! Very good communication and accommodation to my schedule! I had to go to the airport after the game reserve and they gladly coordinated this to best serve my schedule which was much appreciated otherwise I would not have been able to fit this great attraction into my schedule!

Intro to Safari :) - I recently booked a full-day trip with Explore Africa Tours from Cape Town to the Aquila Game Safari in Touwsrivier, and it was a great experience! Upon arrival, I had the buffet breakfast, which set the tone for a fantastic day. During the safari, I was thrilled to see a variety of wildlife, including elephants, rhinos, hippos, lions, impalas, giraffes, buffalo, and antelope—truly a dream come true for any nature lover. After the safari, a hearty lunch was served, with all meals conveniently included in the package. I also treated myself to a relaxing massage at the Aquila reserve, which I booked separately—it was the perfect way to unwind afterwards before heading back. The service was great from my last minute booking to drop off. My driver was punctual, courteous, and entertaining throughout the two-hour road trip to Aquila. He offered to snap pictures without prompts. On the way back, I appreciated the reclining seats, allowing me to nap comfortably while he ensured my safe return to my hotel. I can’t recommend Explore Africa Tours enough! I will definitely use them for my next adventure.
