Here is a selection of the most recent reviews of the Aquila Game Reserve Wildlife Safari from Cape Town submitted by actual travelers. Read what travelers liked, what they loved, and what they thought could be improved.
Even though this was more or less a large fenced-in zoo, the place was great, and the food was excellent. I would like to see a place where the animals are in the "wild" habitat.

Definitely worth doing if you only have a short time in Cape Town, as location is only a couple of hours drive away. Although not as large as some of the game reserves in other parts of South Africa. This tour gives you a real taste of safari life especially as our guide was very informative.

This was way below expectation. Expected to see a wide range of animals and birds but saw only a handful. Did not give a feeling of a safari. It is a big cost for a very short game drive with limited animals. We did not see the elephants or the zebras as the drive was further made short when it started raining. The breakfast & lunch were good. For the cost of the programme as a whole, it was not worth it.

I expected more animals on the reserve. Staff in the restaurant were a bit abrupt when when I sat at the wrong table.
