“Luc was a great guide and driver. Safari was also very cool and a great experience. Especially if you wanna do one and you just around Cape Town like I was. The included Lunch buffet was nice. It’s just not really much time to hangout at the pool (you have only 30min in total).”

Sunset Big Five safari at Aquila from Cape Town, with pickup, welcome drinks, open 4x4 drive, and ranger spotting for $167.

“The day was fantastic! Our driver, who drove us to and forth Aqulia, Jean-Claude was funny, helpful and so friendly! He made sure the drive was pleasant and even though it was raining, he kept a positive attitude and said it will stop which it did. The experience at Aqulia was also amazing. We got to see 4/5 of the big Five, as well as giraffes, zebras, hippos and ostriches up close. We didn’t see the giraffes inside Aqulia but on our way home, Jean-Claude spotted them and stopped the car so we could go out and see them! We would recommend the trip!”

“The organization of the tour was seamless, though I would have appreciated slightly better communication from the tour company. Since we were arriving on a cruise ship, I sent a message and an email after booking to request more specific directions regarding pickup. However, I did not receive a reply until the day before the tour, and even then, it was only a generic response. Fortunately, our driver, Collen Booi, reached out to us early in the morning via WhatsApp to confirm the meeting place and pickup time. Pickup was prompt and straightforward. Collen was pleasant, attentive, and friendly, ensuring that we had a great experience—and we certainly did. The…”

Private Big Five safari at Aquila plus Fairview winery lunch and cheese tasting from Cape Town, with hotel pickup and guided game drive.

“We started the day being picked up, but there was another passenger in the car who stayed with us for the entire day. So the 'private' tour was not private at all. At the park we paid for our entrence fee, which alao included paying for the lunch buffet. Which means the costs of this activity in fact do NOT cover lunch. When we went on the safari itself it turned out we we're put on a bus with 18 other people and not the 4x4 private tour which was promised. So it was a disappointing day for the money we paid. We regret not driving to aquila ourselves, which…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 14 reviews · 8 hours - 2 days · from $308

Big 5 game drive from Cape Town to Aquila Reserve, with lodge meals and a Paarl wine stop, plus a shared open-top 4x4 safari.

“Unser Fahrer wartete bereits vor der Abholzeit und hat uns die ganze Zeit sehr freundlich und kompetent betreut. Es war für uns sehr angenehm ihn bei uns zu haben. Er kümmerte sich um einen Tisch im Restaurant, um einen guten Bus für die Tour und gab uns Tipps für den Tag dort. Ganz besonders hervorheben möchten wir den super Vorschlag statt der Weinprobe doch besser zum Tafelberg zu fahren. Er war gerade frei von Wolken. So wurden im Bus die Tickets Online gebucht und wir wurden zur Station gefahren. Dort hatten wir dann noch einen tollen Abschluss dieses besonderen Tages, mit einem schönen Sonnenuntergang auf dem Tafelberg.”
