Reviews

Spent a wonderful weekend at Aquila. Really enjoyed hearing how the eco approach is full circle: from conservation and protection of the animals but also recycling leftover food , using the same principles for growing their own veggies to above all uplifting and educating surrounding communities . The concepts of Ubuntu and ‘ lifting up others while we rise” are truly lived here. And oh yes!!! it is just an enjoyable lekker weekend with good food.

Unforgettable experience. Food was out of this world. People are really friendly and passionate about what they do. The one ranger Brandon really deserve a special compliment. Such a good job, really engaged with his group and made it extra special. We will never forget our weekend there!

It has everything that you need in a safari! The service is excellent and facilities are very modern and comfortable. Expect the safari truck to be bumpy.. But its expected and you get to see the animals. Perfect for your photos
