Amazing location - less than 2 hours drive on good roads from Cape Town, takes you away from hustle and bustle of city life to the beautiful tranquil plains of South Africa. Resort is gorgeous but the animals steal the show. Home to the Big 5, and taking advantage of the 2 games drives which were included for free as part of our stay, we managed to see 4 of them (saw Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant and Lions but missed out on the Leopard!) - up close as well as Springbok, Zebra, Giraffes, Hippos, Wildebeest, Ostrich and various birds and antelopes. Absolutely amazing and was highlight of our trip to South Africa. Special mention to Aidan our ranger who took us on game drives - very knowledgeable and clearly knows his stuff. The resort itself has good selection of amenities if a somewhat limited restaurant - buffet style food served for all meals which was great when we were there but imagine if you are staying longer than 2 nights it might get a wee bit repetitive. Perhaps a restaurant offering A La Carte for additional costs if people want to pay that would be a good idea? Accommodation was use to be stayed in the Luxury Lodges and would thoroughly recommend - gorgeous thatched abodes with large bathroom and beautifully crafted private outside shower which was a lovely touch. Comfy bed too. Staff were all very accommodating and on our second day we also tried our hand at a quad bike safari which was good fun. We also visited Spa for massage which was lovely! Would highly recommend

Überteuerte Massenabfertigung
In erster Linie wollten wir, nebst unseren 2 wöchigen Kapstadt Ferien, dass unsere 2.5 jährige Tochter die Tiere in Afrika sieht, ohne dass wir deshalb eine weitere weite Reise in den Krüger Nationalpark unternehmen müssen. Dafür war die Safari im Reservat gut und das Ziel Elefanten, Löwen, Zebras, Springböcke, Giraffen, Flusspferde und Nashörner aus nächster Nähe zu sehen, haben wir erreicht. Auch die Hotelanlage war im Großen und Ganzen schön und sauber. Doch jetzt kommt das große ABER. Die Übernachtung für zwei Erwachsene und ein Kleinkind und ein Baby, Vollpension, kosten 570.- das ist für die folgenden negativ Bewertungen einfach viel zu viel. Das ganze ist eine Massenabfertigung. Das Personal war zwar hilfsbereit aber extrem unmotiviert. Das Frühstück, Mittag und Abendbuffet war eine Katastrophe. Noch nie im Leben habe ich so schlecht gegessen. (wirklich) Nicht mal ein einfaches Rührei war geniessbar.. Also wenn Aquila Safari, dann ohne Übernachtung.
