Wonderful tour with Papi today. Picked up from our apartment on time. A courtesy call night before and just prior to arrival. Went to Fairview winery and had a lovely wine and cheese tasting. The wines and 6 different cheeses lovely. The venue was absolutely beautiful with lots of parking and gorgeous trees. Papi then drove us through amazing mountains and scenery to reach Aquila game reserve. His drivng was impeccable, staying within speed limit and being courteous to other drivers. He opened doors for us and helped with bags. Loved the game reserve. We went with game keeper, Nigel. His knowledge was exceptional. We saw a lion, elephants, hippos, zebras, ostrich, antelope, giraffe, rinos and buffalo. Stopped for refreshments half way through. We enjoyed a lovely lunch as well. Smorgasbord with hot meat and vegetables, salads and cakes. It was a lovely drive back with a stop high in the mountains to watch the sunset. Thank you so much Papi for a memorable day.
Thank you so much
Amazing time and wonderful memories. Our tour guide, transportation and safari were all great quality experiences. It is an adventure I will never forget. Thank you!
Thank you so much
fun activity for family .... best to go early morning if u want to see lots of animals.... our driver is very helpful .... he patiently waited for us ....
Thank you so much
Fantastic trip, Saw four of the big five animals. Great drive around a bit bumpy, but great fun. The guide was funny and very informative. Lunch was a buffet and lots of choice and very tasty. If you’re leaving from Cape Town it’s a good 2.5 hour drive but certainly worth it. Won’t be back but a fantastic experience.
Thank you so much
Beautiful and unforgettable experience. Kids and I had a wonderful time, everything was arranged in a way that everyone was comfortable 😊 Our driver arrived on time and was super friendly, the wine tasting stop was a beautiful addition to the tour
Thank you so much
Our tour guide Leon was amazing. He was very informative and helped us get from our hotel to the winery to the safari and back to our hotel with zero issues. The winery was incredible and we were able to ship wines back home very easily. Lunch at Aquila was very nice. The safari was incredible - our entire group saw beautiful animals and captured very special photos. The van that transported our group of 9 was very clean and comfortable, will lots of space for all of us. Highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling to SA to have a fun and special day!
Thank you, so much
Great place to see Africa's Big 5. Value for money. Very informative guides. Reasonably close to Cape Town.
Thank you so much
Beautiful game reserve and we got to see four of the Big 5. The guide was informative, the wildlife came pretty close, and the sights within the park were beautiful! There were some technical difficulties during the tour but the guide and the park handled it efficiently and made the best time out of our trip. Highly recommend this excursion!
Thank you so much, hope to see you again.
It should be a great experience, but the time is too fast, the two key points (taste of wine + safari) can only be stopped for a short time, it is a pity, hopefully in the future we can increase the stay time, and slowly enjoy the wonderful journey
Complete rip off never got to the park, had contact with operator about times before arrival sat parking lot over 2.5 hrs waiting on others to get off ship then told we could not go to park. taken to crap winery made to pay for own lunch last stop a 5 dollar run down petting zoo then returned to our ship Viator says this is within their policy so was full charged for day
