  • W6257HRfrancesg 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Small private reserve A good taste of seeing some South African animals but it is a private collection not really a safari. Carnivores and herbivores are kept separate, so you don't really get a proper 'wild' adventure. The lodges looked lovely, with the swimming pool, would have happily stayed overnight. All in a small area. Read more Written March 2, 2024
  • alstory 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Karoo Cottage was AMAZING!!!!!! We stayed here for 2 nights and stayed in Karoo Cottage number 16. It was amazing!!!!! So much room , hugh bathroom and an outside shower which was fabulous and surreal. Lovely outside area to chill out and listen to all the animal noises at nighttime was fabulous. We loved that there was no TV to be honest because you would have lost out on the sounds of nature. There are 2 drives a day to go and see the Big 5 and this was brilliant. The game drivers are great and know where exactly to go and show us where the animals are. The early morning drive is brilliant, but hop up well as it can get cold. We had free excess to the beautiful SPA. I got a 30 min facial which i paid extra for. So this brings me to the food.... I am still giving Aquilia 5 stars for everything else, but the food isnt great to be honest. And if i am being totaly honest my husband got food poisoning eating the chicken and he was violently sick and diarrhea, which actually did spoil his experience. Staff at reception gave me dioralite sachets which was helpful. If i could change just one thing it would be the food at Aquilia. Read more Written March 1, 2024
  • David S 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles So much packed into a short stay So much packed into such a short time available. They met every need in a pretty fast-paced manner, but thats what we wanted. Still had plenty of time during the whole day there to be still by the pool and enjoy the view. We chose the two day option and were glad to swap one safari drive for horse riding, even though neither of us had been on a horse before. Meeting a giraffe, Ostriches and Zebra on a horse is kinda cool Read more Written February 28, 2024

  • LloydN986 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles First safari experience was good Although the drive from CapeTown was a bit long we were rewarded with close up views of most of the Big Five animals at this private game reserve. We had a great lunch made very exciting by a random baboon visit to the dining area. This reserve also includes luxury lodging and a spa if you have the time to stay.

  • floridaherbie 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A must see! The view from God's Window over the eastern lowlands of Southeastern Africa is certainly impressive - especially on a day with clear air - but the real treat are Bourke's Luck Potholes. These unreal and bizarre cylindrical rock formations carved out by the Blyde and Treuer rivers look like Erik van Danickens phantasies about ancient aliens drilling these monstrous holes. A must see if you are visiting nearby Krueger NP! Read more Written February 23, 2024
  • Brian080518 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A SPECIAL PLACE This is a special place in so many ways. Special because everyone there wants you to have a good time whether it is the people in the restaurants or the Safari Guides. Our guide just bought the place alive. Special because they work with rescue animals that now roam freely and who are well looked after and very healthy. Special because it has provided enormous job opportunities for people in the local area. People who take enormous pride in their jobs. Special because they my grandchildren got to see animals up close. Read more Written February 23, 2024

  • amandajK8552UC 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Disappointing and concerning safari experience When we first arrived we were really impressed, the reception was welcoming and we were excited for our day ahead. The game drive ranger was very robotic and it felt like his knowledge was scripted and lack lustre. There was only one route that all game drive vehicles took so it was like a large scalextric track, everything felt staged. As we were heading out the park at the end, our truck broke down. We had to walk, whilst we were inside the reserve from one truck to another. Then to our surprise our ranger thought it would be a good idea to try and bump start the truck with us all still onboard. This brought a lot of distress to the full truck of people including children. Health and safety was not taken into account at all and all but one person decided it was safer to get off the truck and walk out the reserve back to the main building. This incident has aggravated by back and made the flight home very uncomfortable. I filled in n incident form at the time with McKenzie and was offered a massage which I gratefully accepted and was told that this matter would be taken seriously and escalated, I’ve sent over 10 emails and I’ve had no response from anyone from customer service. The after care service has been non existent and extremely disappointing. If you are looking for a safari I would not recommend this, it just feels like a conveyor belt and money making exercise. The visitor safari experience is not value for money. The facilities are good and it’s clear to see where the money has been spent, spa experience not safari. Read more Written February 17, 2024
  • T38WYadriano 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A great trip We visited in full knowledge that it was a mini safari and that we would see everything within a couple of hours. We weren't disappointed in any way, the guide was knowledgeable and the explanation that some lions and elephants had been rehomed from circuses or hunting reserves made perfect sense. 10000 hectares for many animal's to roam seemed ideal for elephants zebras rhinos ect. If you want a full on safari then maybe it's not for you, but if you want to learn, see animals, have decent food and a comfy room, why not give it a go. We had great fun.

  • sufeyab2016 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Good experience but not a proper safari We visited aquila in January 2024. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel on the day with other people who were collected from their hotels. It was a 2 hour drive to the reserve and you stop half way at a petrol station for refreshments which was good. The van we were in was quite old but had air con. The driver hardly spoke to any of us on the way there or back. When you arrive you have lunch before the safari.lunch was a buffet and there was plenty of choice and the food was very nice. After lunch you go outside and there are several safari vehicles waiting.its a free for all to get on one ! They are open but have covered roofs which is good for cover from the sun. Our driver was really chatty and we saw all the animals and he gave us plenty of time to take photos .he had a good sense of humour and was very informative. You are driven round the reserve and stop half way round for a free drink but the toilets there made the area very smelly. After the drink you are taken back round the reserve by a different route. The tracks are very bumpy but we found this hilarious. Once back you have time to go the gift shop and get a drink before getting back on your minibus. All in all it was an enjoyable day but this isn't a proper safari. It is a flat game reserve where you are driven round in a circle. The lions are in a large gated part of the reserve and the other animals are in the other parts. It's not like being out in the proper Bush but it's a good chance to see the animals if you don't have time for a longer safari. Read more Written February 10, 2024

Cruises from/to Richards Bay, South Africa

Richards bay, south africa cruise port.

  • The Richards Bay Game Reserve is where you can find hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, and fish. Birdwatchers: it's especially important as a bird habitat and houses more than 300 species. Here you can watch wading birds on the tidal flats and swamp wetlands from permanent hides, so as to leave the birds undisturbed.  
  • About six miles from the city center is Pelican Island, a great spot for relaxing or enjoying the beach. Water sport enthusiasts also enjoy everything from canoeing to jet-skiing (equipment rental is available); or for a more slow-paced way to enjoy the scenery, try horseback riding.  
  • To experience traditional life in KwaZulu Natal, visit the DumaZulu Cultural Village. North of Richards Bay, it’s where you can immerse yourself in Zululand’s famous beadwork, basketry, pottery, and weaving. You'll learn how the colors and patterns chosen are more than just decorative, and gain a new appreciation of symbolism made into art.  
  • Not far from the village is the world-renowned Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, the oldest nature reserve in Africa and the only one that contains all five big game animals: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo and rhinoceros, up close and personal. And since the 1950s, it’s been famous for white rhino conservation efforts.
