Customer service - Due to our long and many days of rescheduling, we were unable to attend. But we had fantastic support from our tour operator the whole time. Thoroughly recommend viator and we have several more trips planned with them.

Aquilla shore excursion on a fog day - Our ship was delayed getting into Port. Abraham, our driver waited for us to arrive before departing for Aquilla. He also waited for another couple for a very long time as they were two hours late he had to depart for the safari to get us there in time for lunch and was successful even though he was dealt a bad hand by weather. Vino was a wonderful tour guide at Aquilla. He was very knowledgeable and got us excellent views of all the animals. We enjoyed our safari jeep ride. The lunch was very good and we enjoyed our sparkling sauvignon upon arrival .

A definite tour experience from Capetown - Despite the ship arriving late, & immigration taking for ever, the tour company waited for us, & managed to show us a great experience . We were especially thankful as the ship had cancelled their tour due to the late arrival. I would thoroughly recommend this tour

Wonderful experience - We had a fantastic day. Cullinan tours were wonderful. Our ship was delayed arriving into Cape Town due to fog. They kept in contact with us for the entire time via email. They waited until we finally disembarked and went through Immigration. Which was 3.5 hours later than the original departure time. We were still able to do the tour, including a very late lunch and safari. We were so greatful that they were able to continue with the tour. Aquila is definitely worth visiting to see African animals in their natural environment. It is a very professionally run park.

Aquila Game Safari - This is a wonderful experience. Firstly, they waited even though our ship docked a couple of hours late. The bus was new, clean and a smooth quiet ride. Our driver was very good and we felt safe the whole journey. At the game park, there was no sense of rushing us through. We had a full experience and the guide, Anwar, gave detailed explanations of the animals and their behaviours. Could not have asked for better. Thank you so much.

If you have the time and... - If you have the time and money to visit Kruger Park, you can skip this tour. The Aquila Private Game Reserve is actually a very large zoo without cages, where they feed some animals. The advantage is that the animals are easy to watch. During our visit we saw hippos, giraffes, ostriches, lions, Cape buffalo, springboks, rhinos and elephants. It is a two-hour drive from Cape Town. You will lose the entire day from 8:30 - 17:00 for two hours of safari. If this is the only safari you can do in South Africa, definitely participate. Expect a fairly massive activity.
