10/10 Exceptional

First safari for my family and was brilliant
The hotel and spa was fantastic. Lacks a gym which would have made the downtime better but the overall experience was brilliant. The junior ranger session offered for children was fun and the kids loved it. Only thing id say was to add additional things such as a gym and extra acrivity options for kids (even chargable) such as quad bike safari etc. Really good experience!

Aquila Game reserve Oct 2 night stay
We had a medical issue - nothing to do with the hotel and their support and assistance was excellent. We also had to lose part of our stay but they were very accommodating and Mckenzie the Manager was a gem!

Pros: We really enjoyed the game drives. The drivers were quite knowledgeable. Stargazing as well was a nice touch. Cons: Outdoor shower was not practicable as it was quite cold in the evening.

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed in a lovely little chalet with a terrace with a view over the park itself. Just the thing for a sundowner. Very comfy bed and an outdoor shower. Loved that! Sae a lot of wild animals close up during the tours. The buffet is somewhat overrum when everybody wants to eat at the same time. Too few sunloungers by the pool.

10/10 Exceptional

One of the best experiences of my life. The property is beautiful with amazing views. The booking includes the lunch, dinner, Breakfast and 2 game drives. Be sure to get to the property by noon and enjoy the views and Spa treatments (affordable and very relaxing) the sunset game drive was beautiful and we saw Giraffe, lions, elephants, hippos and zebras. The staff is helpful and do their best to make our experience very entertaining and exciting. Loved our stay!

It was a magical way to bond with nature. Quad and horse back riding through the reserve was beautiful and a special treat that will always be remembered...It was the perfect ending to our cruise in the indian ocean. Two thumbs up!!

Amazing experience
Amazing experience. Wonderful to be so close to the animals. Electric fencing behind our Karoo Cottage should have warning signs not to touch.

Cameron, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location was superb. However, our room was at the back of the property with no view of the amazing park. The spa treatments were excellent. The safari rides were extreemly bumpy and the animals all seemed to be found in the same areas and appeared to be being fed just before each drive. Our shower and drains were disgusting ...lots of black mould. I found the buffet options limiting and had quite an upset tummy.
Christine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic from beginning to end
Well organised from the beginning when we were relieved of our bags as soon as we got out of the shuttle and offered complimentary wine. We were given a daily activity programme which included 2 game drives a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The drives were excellent as we managed to get up close to lions, giraffes, zebras and rhinos. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Rooms are small but well furnished.

The game drive was great but the food was not as I remembered it from 12 yrs ago.
Deborah, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Below par food.
Very poor quality mass produce food for the price of the accommodation. Rooms were comfortable. Game reserve is a glorified zoo but I guess there doing some conservation too. Only Zebras were in abundance but rest of the animals can be counted in one hand.

slippery floors
The floors in the spa near the swimming pools were ridiculously slippery and liable to cause injury Same goes for floor in room shower

Basic safari experience
Basic safari hotel. Institutional catering. Unfortunately, the Safari vehicles were worn out and very uncomfortable. They had not replaced the shock absorber which made the drive very uncomfortable. Convenient to Cape Town, but clearly not the right bush for giraffes which had their heads permanently bowed due to lack of any trees.
Nigel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoyed our time - but food disappointing
Lovely setting and easy access from Cape Town. We very much enjoyed being able to swap out two safaris to go out on horse back and the ATVs. On one day there was a lot of day visitors around the pool but we just retreated to the private pool by the spa. Overall we had a good stay but the one real let down was the food! Every meal was bland and just not good, and one guest got sick from one meal. It is a real shame as the whole set up is very nice so we were quite shocked about the poor quality of the food.
