Safari not to be missed - The Safari was spectacular and exciting, the travel guide for Aquila Game Reserve was very kind and explanatory: during the trip Joel told us about some South African places, from history to culture and various African customs, histories and traditions. Experience highly recommended.

Great Safari to start our SA trip - Very friendly driver and gave out a lot of info on way to the reserve. Was on time and met us before lunch and took us over to vehicle for game drive. It was so nice to just have our 6 family members together for the day.

Great day thanks to a great guide - Joel was a great driver. He was very friendly, helpful, and gave us lots of information about the country and its people. If we come back to Cape Town, we'll contact him again. I don't want to say much about the Aquila Private Game Reserve; everyone should form their own opinion. For me, it was more like a large safari zoo. But that's a matter of taste; all in all, we had a great day (especially thanks to Joel)!

A special safari day with the personal touch - Joel was our driver for the Aquila reserve trip from Cape Town. There was only one other customer on the tour so a lovely small group, just the four of us. Joel was super friendly and gave us lots of interesting commentary on the 2-hour drive to Aquila. We all sat together for lunch (buffet style with lots of choice) then Joel waved us off on the safari truck.
We saw ostriches, lions, baboons, zebras, elephants, springboks, rhinos, hippo and giraffes. An amazing experience with treasured memories.
