    Great venue and food, a little bit stage managed

    Great and comfortable journey from Cape Town to the safari park in a new Toyota 12 seater by ILIOS Travel, with a wonderful driver/tour guide Marc. On arrival, venue very clean and modern, relaxed buffet breakfast was great. Started the actual Safari with an interesting but quietly spoken guide. Covered 20 seater 4WD truck bounced us around the sites. Saw, Zebras, Giraffes, 2 x Elephants, lions, buffalo and the highlight was Rhino's. Whilst a good 2-3 hour safari it did seem a it contrived or stage managed, but we saw the animals that was the main thing! Back to the centre for a nice buffet lunch. Options to relax around the pool and admire the scenery. Nice relaxing and smooth drive back to Cape Town. Great day out:-)

    Response from the operator: Hello There, Many thanks for scoring us a 4 fabulous :) We're happy that you've seen all the animals and that you've had a great day out. Best Regards

    Aquila Day Safari

    Another tour booked ML Sultan and again Faziela did not fail us. This tour is a must. Family and I has the best day. Food was amazing! The time to ourselves after the safari was great as we got to see more of the reserve. You can go for a swim or even get a massage. Such an amazing experience and one to tick of your bucket list.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Peaches :) Your family are too kind! All the best is wished for you. We appreciate you taking time out to rate us. All my best Jameel

    Aquila Day Safari - with transport: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.

    How does Aquila Day Safari - with transport compare to similar tours in Cape Town?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cape Town, with an Outty Ranking of 63. At $318 it sits above the typical similar option ($61), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is Aquila Day Safari - with transport best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 9-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Aquila Day Safari - with transport good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $318, above the $61 typical for similar experiences in Cape Town.

    How much does Aquila Day Safari - with transport cost?

    +

    Prices start at $318 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Aquila Day Safari - with transport take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.

    Is Aquila Day Safari - with transport worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Aquila Day Safari - with transport?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Aquila Day Safari - with transport suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Aquila Day Safari - with transport?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Aquila Day Safari - with transport start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cape Town?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Cape Town Airport Private Transfer, Ocean Wildlife Encounter in Cape Town. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cape Town?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cape Town?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
