Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa
Off the N1, on the R46, 6880 Touwsrivier, South Africa – Great location - show map
very nice family suite worked perfect for the eight of us

the safari was incredible, the food was good, the service was great, and the view from the premier cottage was unreal. we got to see a hippo eating about 20 feet away from the porch.

Really friendly staff and awesome decor. Field gide was very informative and fun!

From the beginning, it was great. Reception started with bubbly drinks, porters ready to help with bags, friendly staff and an invite to have lunch and wait till 2 pm for rooms. The safari outings were well organized and a lot of fun. Terrific guides. All very knowlegable and helpful. NOTE: This is a private game reserve dedicated to saving animals and giving them sanctuary and free range. It is a wonderful reserve with dedicated staff. It is not Kruger Park and it is NOT a big zoo (as I have seen written in reviews). Just be aware of where you are going. It's great for families and anyone who wants to enjoy observing big game in free range environment, to enjoy the large pool, activities for children, and a relaxing atmosphere. We stayed 4 nights but I'd suggest at least 2 nights. We enjoyed the spa and the treatments as well as the outings.

The game drives were a highlight, our tour guide Anwar was very knowledgeable about each animal we saw.

The staff were amazing from check in to check out. Our waitresses Jacqueline & Denise, Spa staff Matea & Sondia, horse riding staff Tatenda & Marqwenn and quadbike staff Wilber & Chester. The pool, spa with its warm & cold pools and sauna & steam room were amazing. The accommodation sufficed with its location and comfortable beds.

the all inclusive nature and the comfort of the favilities

the decor is amazing, specially when there is nothing else around. the living room with the fire place was wonderful, the outdoor pool , and the spa looks nice

size of the family room high sealing and vue on the elephant from the room

The buffet meals were so delicious. The bed slept like a dream and the guided tours were the best. Kudos to Trevor for being so good to us on the safari, he is very friendly and really cares about the animals.
