Avoid like the plague
Do not book with this company! 3 days before I was scheduled for the overnight safari, they said there was no accomodation available and would have to drive me back to Cape Town and return the next day. Terrible customer service from start to finish!! Many better options than Matadi Tours!!!
Response from the operator: Hi Dear Thank you for your message. we have informe you that your tour it was been cancel but you dont want to take our message in the considération.

Manage your expectations
This is a short cut way to see the big 5 . Good lunch included and some wine. However, it’s not a great experience. The National Parks are so much better. 10,000 hectares is very small for game and the lions, a pride of 4, are segregated by electric fences ( in case they eat the other game!!!) The dirt roads are in a terrible condition and the ride was incredibly uncomfortable. So its not a don’t go but manage your expectations.
Response from the operator: Hi Dear Customer Thank you for visiting us. However you cant expect the road of the game reserve to be like the road of new york city. but what we know most of customer their so happy for our reserve. thank you for visiting.

Fantastic experience
From pick up to drop off our 2 night stay at Aquilla was fantastic. We stayed in Rm 9 which we'd highly recommend waking up to see elephants, baboons, rhino's, ostriches and wilder beasts from your balcony was amazing. The rangers were fun and knowledgeable. The food was buffet style and we enjoyed what was on offer and for each of the 2 nights a different menu. The spa was lovely and relaxing as we're the massages and it isn't often you're visited by a peacock when your chilling in the pool. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend.
Response from the operator: Hi Dear Customer Thank you for visiting us. we well appeciete to have you here in to our safari.

Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How does Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve 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 47. At $984 it sits above the typical similar option ($87), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and couples.
Who is Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve best for?
+
It suits families and couples best, based on its 48-hour length, all-ages access and non-refundable terms.
Is Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $984, above the $87 typical for similar experiences in Cape Town.
How much does Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve cost?
+
Prices start at $984 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 Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve?
+
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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cape Town 2-Days Overnight Aquilla Safari game Reserve 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.
