I needed a ride

Angelica_M, Feb 2026

was cool. Idk the actual cost to get into Aquila b/c I paid through the travel coordinator but it was an expensive uber. If you’re like me, and didn’t want to drive up to the reserve, book transportation through this. I was picked up from my hotel. There was a group that joined my car ride and we all traveled up to the reserve. The person driving you there, isn’t leading you through the Aquila Game reserve. He was very kind and i appreciated being there so i could focus on the scenic drive while he managed our transportation. Once we arrived at the game reserve, you essentially lounge on the property until lunch. After lunch, they consolidate all guests that seek to do the game drive. The park is large in acres but the animals seemed well positioned to be noticed one after the other. We got pretty close to them. It’s two hours long but that’s really b/c of all the stopping to view and take photos. I wouldn’t go again but it was nice to experience for a first time.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m really glad you enjoyed the scenic drive and that the transportation made things easier and more comfortable for you. It’s always nice to relax and take in the views without worrying about driving. At Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa, the program is designed to give guests time to enjoy the property, lunch, and then fully experience the guided game drive. The two-hour safari allows for close animal sightings and plenty of time for photos, which makes it especially great for first-time visitors. I truly appreciate your honest feedback and I’m happy you had the opportunity to experience it. Thank you again for choosing us to assist with your trip!

A very good experience.

Very friendly driver and gave out a lot of info on way to the reserve. Was on time and met us before lunch and took us over to vehicle for game drive. It was so nice to just have our 6 family members together for the day.
