Aquila is a great choice for a quick experience, this is not a 5star resort. It’s affordable and close to Cape Town. The rooms are nice however desperately needs new furniture as many things are worn and broken. However it’s is well presented. The animals are great! There are no leopards. The vehicles are good and the guides are well organized. The food was good, nice verity of food, I’ve heard terrible things about the food but it was not that bad at all. We did overnight so it was lunch, dinner and breakfast buffet. Overall, all things considered Aquila is safe choice. I’m sure there are better reserves offer a more luxurious experience but if you want a safari experience that is close by it’s a safe option.

If this is your first safari, you’ll absolutely adore it here. The rooms are top-notch, the buffet food is excellent, and the staff are warm and attentive. The park itself is on the smaller side, which means you’re almost guaranteed to see everything it has to offer. It’s conveniently close to Cape Town. If comfort and luxury are priorities, this place delivers beautifully, especially with the opportunity to watch wildlife right from the poolside. What I didn’t enjoy as much was how noisy most guests were during the safari drives, and left unchecked by the driver — it felt disruptive to the animals. Interestingly, the animals didn’t seem too bothered by the commotion, which felt a little unnatural. In the lion enclosure, for instance, we were able to drive right up to them and they barely flinched. Personally, I prefer larger parks where you can observe big herds moving naturally through their environment. All that said, this is still a great option for a more intimate and comfortable safari experience.

Aquila Game Reserve is a great option for a Cape Town safari! Spacious rooms, delicious buffets, and exciting game drives. Kids love the play area and mini golf! Guides are knowledgeable, and the Big Five are almost guaranteed. Relaxing spa and pool areas too! Highly recommend for families and couples seeking a wild adventure near Cape Town. For me aquila is 5/5 stars!
