          A lovely experience
          A great half day trip which we enjoyed immensely. Our driver, Adneen was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a perfect day for Table Mountain, and gave us an insight into Bo Kaap. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to go back before we left Cape Town.

          A wonderful afternoon at the Nellie
          We had a wonderful afternoon enjoying high tea at the Nellie with our family who were visiting from the UK. The sandwiches ,savouries ,petit fours and cakes were delicious as was the variety of teas available. It was made even more special by being offered a complimentary glass of pink bubbles on arrival at our table. We were very well looked after by Wiseman and Lulu ,who were very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We shall be back in February with more family to enjoy the experience.

          Saw the animals in a few hours
          Enjoyed the tour guides knowledge and explanation. He drove slow enough to catch photos from each side of safari vehicle giving us time to watch animals moves

          Safari Teaser
          This was a surprisingly good game drive. While it doesn’t begin to match the experience of a much longer safari, it’s a good option for someone staying in Cape Town only for a short time. Only disappointment - the lion population is minimal. We saw only one tucked inside a distant rock cave.

          We went yesterday and had a very good time. Staff is great. Average food offered and drinks expensive. Great animals and landscape.

          scam. cancelled my booking last minute
          Took the money and the booking yet cancelled last minute. Said the reserve was fully booked. After I called the reserve I found out they had more than enough spaces and I managed to book the safari myself. This company is a scam as far as I am concerned scam.

          Amazing experience at High Tea
          I had a lovely afternoon with my friends, enjoying delicious food and tea and great service from our hostess Thuli, and intriguing tea discussions from the sommelier Craig. This was money well spent. Can’t wait to come back!

          Fantastic safari experience for a great price!
          This is a wonderful trip and I highly recommend it! The day began being picked up at my hotel and driven to the game reserve. NOTE: it is a long drive! The group I travelled with was very friendly. Once there, I was greeted with a welcome drink. and a buffet lunch. The lunch was excellent, and I recommend sitting outdoors on the patio to enjoy the view. I then loaded up into one of the tour trucks for the safari. There is a lot of wildlife and great views of the scenery and the animals. I saw 4 of the "Big 5," only lacking a sighting of leopards. I was especially impressed with the lions as they were very close to the truck! At the halfway point of the safari, the tour stopped for additional complimentary drinks. When the tour was over, I was dropped off back at my hotel. I truly enjoyed the experience and once again highly recommend it!

          Best Safari trip within a day range of Capetown.
          Firstly, dont expect the Kruger! But this is possibly the best chance to see these animals within a days range of Capetown. The whole experience was well managed and everything we could have wished for. Lunch on arrival was excellent with a buffet of food for every taste. Drinks were extra but reasonably priced. The safari was great. Be aware that the tracks are rough and you will have to hang on! We saw all the animals we expected to, and got very close to many of them. The driver/guide was great, stopping regularly for photos and was knowledgeable and informative. A great day out.

          Great Safari Excursions
          If you are looking for g for either a 1 day or 2 day excursion I would look into Aquila Reserve. They can accommodate either and it includes pick up and drop off from your hotel or AirBNB

          Lots of sweet, a little savory, you don't go for the food ;)
          hostess was amazing since I goofed up the timing of our reservation. The tea was ok (in fairness, I am not a super tea fan) and the food was ok but the experience was lovely. We came by after a tour of Langa township so that difference was jarring--the staff were lovely here and worth a look at the gorgeous grounds.

          Tea Time!
          Beautiful grounds with a fabulous high tea offering. We had a wonderful waitperson - Thuli- who walked us through every little bite. Home of one of the only tea sommeliers in the whole rod with many teas to choose from. Would definitely recommend first r a relaxing afternoon.

          Very nice place and everything was so nice. It was cool but we did get to see a few animals. I would like to see a few more animals on the reserve. Brunch was awesome!!
