Absolutely fabulous. Had a great time. Our driver Ibrahim, was just outstanding. Our game drive driver, Mike, was superb. Knew where the animals were & we saw all of the big five except the leopard. Had a wonderful time & highly recommend this trip. Even 10 times better than Hluluwhe/ Imfolozi, in Durban.

The paths upon which the vehicles drive are very, very, very bumpy. Do not take this safari if you are pregnant, have back issues, or have headaches! The animals were great to see, and we are glad we took the tour. However, it did not begin to compare to the safari in Kruger National Park and others we have done in the past. It would also help to have a speaker in the vehicle so those in the back can hear the explanations of the guide more clearly.

It was s great tour and I would definitely recommend doing it. It is a 4 hour round trip from Cape Town and another 2 hours on the safari so be prepared for a bum numbing trip bit well worth it. Lovely lunch was included in a beautiful area.

The Aquila Game Reserve was a wonderful experience! We saw so many animals. Our tour guide was very knowledgable. We wish we had more time to drive around the reserve. Our main reason for lowering the rating is that we had to wait 1 hr for our pick up. Our driver forgot about us, so we sat outside waiting and calling frequently. Finally, they sent a new driver for us. Due to this we were delayed in showing up and rushed through lunch to be sure to make the game drive. I would recommend visiting the Aquila Game Reserve but would recommend using a different provider than this specific tour group.
