It was a wonderful trip

We had a truly wonderful experience with Leon at safari . The day was very well organised, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The price was very much affordable. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and visiting such iconic places made the tour both memorable and special. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town and looking for a well-guided and relaxing experience.

Good organized, but not the experience we expected

The organization did a great job and everything was perfectly arranged. Unfortunately, the safari itself was nog what we expected it to be. It was more like a great zoo instead of a real wild experience. But in terms of organization, it was perfect

Aquila Sunset Safari - with Leon as the Tour Guide

Aquila Safari – Outstanding Experience with Leon My safari trip to Aquila was an incredible experience from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking, the wildlife sightings were unforgettable, and the overall organisation of the day was excellent. A special mention goes to Leon, our tour guide, who truly made the experience exceptional. Leon was professional, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the tour. His passion for what he does really came through and added so much value to the experience. I would highly recommend Leon as your tour guide if you are visiting South Africa, particularly in Cape Town — he made the safari both educational and memorable.

Whistlestop Tour of Cape Town inc Winery and Aquila

We had a great time on this trip, it’s fantastic if you are short on time in Cape Town because it packs a lot in! We saw all the main sights of the city before heading off to the winery and then on to Aquila. There’s a lot of time in the car but that’s unavoidable if you want to go to Aquila. It was just the two of us on this trip and Leon was an excellent guide!

Operator response

We really appreciate your time for reviewing us services we hope to see you again in cape town...
