Great day. Amazing tour leader - Great tour leader in Ordain who was very informative and friendly. Great safari, seeing most of the big 5 (no leopards but didn't expect to see them). Very nice breakfast and lunch at Aquila too. Ordain was kind enough to take us wine tasting on the return trip. Highly recommended.

Tour was perfect! - This was a fabulous tour. Our guide, Ordain, was prompt, friendly, an excellent driver, and informative. The Aquila Game reserve was beautiful and on the safari their goal was for you to see all the animals you came to see. We added a wine tasting on the way home and Ordain booked us reservations at a beautiful winery with superb wine! It was an excellent day!

I went on the Aquila Day... - I went on the Aquila Day Safari with Ordain as my driver and guide. He picked me up promptly from my hotel, described the different regions that we were driving through on the way to the game reserve and kept me entertained with his conversation in general. There was time to use the restroom and water was also provided on the journey. At the park we had a welcome drink prior to breakfast, set out on the safari itself and then had lunch upon our return before driving back to Cape Town. I did this as a solo traveller and would recommend it to anyone in a similar position who is visiting Cape Town.

Smart, Accommodating and Safe Tour Guide - Ordain is a great guide in South Africa! It was my first trip to the country. I booked last minute less than 24 hrs. notice and he was at our hotel lobby at 6:30AM to take us on a full day tour of Aquila Safari and we squeezed in a wine tasting at a winery on the way back. I appreciate all the knowledge and history he was able to share and all of the questions I had about the country, culture, food and politics. He's very flexible with our requests as well. By the end of the day, we asked him to pick us up the next morning for a different excursion. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I will Call Ordain next time I visit Cape Town! Thanks!

1 day safari - We did the full 1 day trip, aquila safari, bus ride was ok, seem to go on forever, guide we had was excellent, assisted on coach and plenty of information about cape town on the way. On arrival, nice friendly greeting, good buffet style breakfast try the sausage, they reyt nice!! Boarded the safari trucks, very bumpy at the back, try to sit further forward. Did see up close, gariffe, hippo's, elephants, welder breast, antelope, springbok, zebra's, rhino's and ostriches, all with a very knowledgeable guide. Sadly the lions didnt come out to play today, not through the lag of the guide trying to find em, more than 3 times circled around. Good toilet stop, plenty of vino flowing n bottled water. Back for a Braai style lunch, enjoyed afternoon in pool, drinking and meeting new friends. Trip back abit shorter as they go through the tunnel, instead of the svenuc route over mountain, the way ya come. Good out, not to be missed.
