Aquila Game Reserve Safari with park fees, door-to-door transport and lunch.

Had a brilliant day start to finish. Our driver, Gift, was totally awesome and made the experience even better with his local knowledge, gift for story telling, and super pleasant disposition.

Great trip with Gift!

Gift was an excellent driver/guide to get us to our Aquila game reserve safari from our cruise ship port in Cape Town! He was patient and kind with our questions and helped us to get settled in as we planned to spend the night at Aquila! Would recommend this experience for anyone who wants to get a safari experience without traveling more than a few hours from Cape Town! As long as you know this is a game reserve and not a “real” safari , you will not be disappointed! Definitely recommend spending one night at Aquila to get a full experience.
