My wife and I spent two nights at Aquila, during a typical Cape cold front. We missed a couple of game drives due to the e clement weather but did get to see the rehabilitation centre in the pouring rain. The guide was very knowledgable and had established an uncanny relationship with a fully grown male leopard. All the cats... More

We – a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 children) – stayed at Aquila in April for 1 night. The cottages: We had a family cottage, which was spacious and clean but with rather basic interior. The bathroom had a bath tub and an external shower; the latter may be nice in summer, but not in the cooler autumn... More

Ok so you are within a couple of miles of the main road through SA, but that makes absolutely no difference to the fantastic time you are about to have.

I booked this game reserve for the second half of our stay in the Western Cape. We stayed for 4 days. The grounds are beautiful, there's no denying that. The stars are breathtaking at night. Upon arrival, we were given sparkling wine. Having tasted some of the best sparkling wines and methode cap classique wines in South Africa, I found... More

Stayed here for the standard one night, afternoon and morning 'safari', buffet dinner and breakfast. Pretty much as other reviews have stated, good opportunity to see animals, but you're not out in the wild. For some reason our guide would not get very close to the Cape buffalo, which was too bad, they are magnificent animals. And the lonely female... More
