Aquila was amazing and exceeded our expectations from the grounds to the buffet, all of the staff were fab. The safari itself was amazing we saw 4 of the big five on the day as well as loads more animals. We absolutely loved it!!! I have to do a special mention to our guide, Wilson. From the moment he collected us he was kind, knowledgeable, and shared so much history on the way and way back which made a long journey very enjoyable. He was super attentive at the reserve, making us feel well looked after and important. Thank you Wilson we can’t imagine that another guide would have looked after us as well as you did! Overall a brilliant trip.

The safari at Aquila was fantastic. We got up close to many animals, a couple of which we didn't get close to on another safari we had done elsewhere. The Fairview Winery stop was also great. Their wine tasting was fun and the cheeses that went along with the wines were delicious. The only down side was our driver that day who drive us the 2 hours to the safari and back. He had almost nothing to say to us all day and spent most of every minute on his phone talking to someone else. Compared to the amazing tour guide we had the day prior for another La Vacanza Travel booked tour, this one was absolutely terrible.

My husband really wanted to do a safari while we visited Cape Town. We paid upfront for this private tour. Our guide Reagan, was on time. He was polite, professional and a great conversationalist! It was a bit of a drive but it was a beautiful one. The game reserve was really nice. They greeted us with wine, hello! The tour was well organized. We saw several animals including lions, zebras and elephants. I wanted to see an elephant up-close but they were going up the mountain. The weather was perfect in November. I couldn't imagine doing this in the heart of summer. We enjoyed it. After our safari tour, we stopped at a winery in Paarl for wine and cheese tasting. It was a perfect ending to our long and exciting day! I would recommend this tour if you are only visiting Cape Town and cannot travel to Kruger National Park. It its a great alternative. Also, book this company. We enjoyed our private tour and our time with Reagan! He was great.

Private guide is very nice for the long drive and our guide Pedro was phenomenal. If you want to get up close with the animals without going all the way to Kruger this is the place. Only wish it was longer.

His captivating stories seamlessly wove the past and present, offering a unique perspective on the region's heritage. What set Wilson apart was his dedication to wildlife conservation. He shared insights into behaviors, habitats, and conservation efforts, fostering a deep appreciation for these creatures. His warmth and genuine interest created an environment where curiosity thrived.
