Amazing! What a wonderful getaway. The service, food, warm pool, etc. were really amazing. Every safari trip has a different experience, which is great. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful experience, rest for the soul. The whole experience was wonderful. The price is quite high for a very average class room, especially for South Africans. But I understand they cater more to foreigners. And, if you take into account the delicious food, game drives and costs that it costs them to feed all the animals, you understand the price a little more. It was a lovely weekend and my boy (3) enjoyed it the most.

Wonderlike ervaring, rus vir die siel. Die hele ervaring was heerlik. Die prys is nogal hoog vir 'n baie gemiddelde klas kamer, veral vir Suid-Afrikaners. Maar ek verstaan hulle maak meer voorsiening vir buitelanders. En, as mens die heerlike kos, wildritte en kostes wat dit hulle kos om al die diere te voer in ag neem, verstaan mens die prys bietjie meer. Dit was 'n heerlike naweek en my seuntjie (3) het dit die meeste geniet.

Enjoyed it but don't think it was worth the money. Staff very friendly and helpful. Accommodation is good. Meals were good but not wow. "Game Drives" doesn't quite live up to expectations.

Het dit geniet maar dink nie dit was die geld werd nie. Personeel baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Akkommodasie is goed. Etes was goed maar nie wow nie. "Game Drives" nie heeltemal aan verwagtinge voldoen nie.

A bucket list destination for every South African. South Africans are put off by the price of accommodation at Aquila, but look out for specials. When you consider what you get for your money it is actually good value for money. Everything is included except your drinks and soft drinks. You have to be there at 12h00 and get welcome drinks and then a buffet lunch, you then book in and have a game drive at 16h30 which is 2 hours 30 minutes with snacks and soft drinks halfway. We saw 4 of the big 5 and lots of other animals too, literally 10-20 meters away from the feed thicket. When you come back there is a buffet dinner. 21h00 there are marshmallows at the bonfire. In the morning it is coffee and biscuits at 6h30 and another 1h30min to 2 hours game drive and morning buffet afterwards. The buffets are huge with lots of delicious options to choose from (also vegan options). There is a spa and a hot and cold indoor swimming pool. And 2 more cold pools outside. There is plenty for the kids to do such as junior rangers to give mum and dad some alone time. They have generators to combat loadshedding and WiFi. Would highly recommend Aquila.

'n Bucketlist bestemming vir elke Suid-Afrikaner. Suid-Afrikaners word afgeskrik deur die prys vir verblyf by Aquila, maar kyk uit vir specials. As jy inagneem wat jy vir jou geld kry is dit eintlik goeie waarde vir geld. Alles is ingesluit behalwe jou drankies en koeldranke. Jy moet daar wees 12h00 en kry welkom drankies en dan n buffet middag ete, jy book dan in en het n game drive 16h30 wat 2 uur 30min is met snacks en koeldranke halfpad. Ons het 4 van die groot 5 gesien en klomp ander diere ook, letterlik 10-20 meter weg van die voerruig. Wanneer jy terug kom is daar buffet aandete. 21h00 is daar marshmallows by die bonfire. Die oggend is dit koffie en beskuit 6h30 en nog n 1h30min tot 2 ure game drive en oggend buffet daarna. Die buffets is groot met klomp heerlike opsies om van te kies (ook vegan opsies). Daar is n spa en n warm en koue swempad onderdak. En nog 2 koue swembaddens buite. Daar is baie vir die kinders om te doen soos junior rangers om ma en pa 'n bietjie alleen tyd te gee. Hulle het generators om loadshedding te bekamp en WiFi. Sal Aquila hoogs aanbeveel.

Amazing fun, absolutely loved all the activities. We saw all the Big 5, a lovely indoor spa and heated pool/sauna for the rainy day, and absolutely loved the horseback and quadbike game drives. The food was also amazing. Only recommendation would be for a minibar in the rooms.

Fun, educational and excellent value for money. Randal, our guide was excellent, and a pleasure to have our guide on both days. The reception staff was friendly but not well-informed about our package. Reception failed to inform us that game drive on the second day was delayed by an hour due to the heavy rain. The reception was also not well informed about our option to choose horseback safari for the second day, they insisted it was an extra R500 p/p. The bedroom was clean but the bathroom was not!
