Amazing day safari to Aquila Game Reserve - This was easily already the highlight of our trip; we’re in Cape Town for just over 2 weeks, we’re a few days in. The transfer to and from the reserve were so easy, Gift, our tour guide operator was super responsive on WhatsApp throughout. When we arrived at Aquila, we were given a welcome drink and told what time lunch and the bus for the safari were, very friendly staff at every interaction. The actual safari was breathtaking; even though I understand it isn’t an ‘authentic’ safari like in the Serengeti etc, it showcases the animals in a conserved environment, safe from poachers etc. We saw 4/5 of the big 5, which was absolutely amazing, our safari bus driver was so knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend for anyone visiting Cape Town!

Lovely day well spent with a great guide. - The day long tour was excellent which was made 10X better by the tour guide,Issac who went out his way to give us great historical context about every location and sight that we saw. He was very patient and knowledgable in answering all our questions. He provided even off track experience and made us feel like a local and not a tourist. Thanks to him, I am beginning to think like and love Cape Town and South Africa the more....I am definitely coming back again to continue my learning journey.

Gordon was an amazing tour guide. Will definitely be contacting his company on my next visit to Cape Town. - Gordon was an exceptional tour guide and driver. On our drive to and from our safari, he conversed well with our entire family, providing us with insightful details about Cape Town and South Africa. He made the extra effort to learn our names and address each of us accordingly along the drive, making us all feel welcomed and appreciated. He was also very accommodating with stops to and from the safari and patient with us while we shopped for souvenirs. Thank you Gordon for making our visit to Cape Town and the Aquila Game Reserve Safari, a pleasant, fun and unforgettable experience.

Average experience - Sadly it was an ok game park, but when it came to the big five promotion it was a bit of a let down. Lots of Rhino, but I believe it was only 3 elephants and the Lions were also few in numbers. The whole experience was rushed, when someone shouted they spotted something it was ignored they had to stick to the plan. Animals are well looked after.

Not a real Natural African safari - Disappointed to see some animals here and there, obviously nor in their natural habitat. Some of them looking lost and bored.Didn't get to see leperds among the big five.
