We've been to Inverdorn several times, and this time decided to try Aquila. Honestly, Inverdorn definitely wins when it comes to atmosphere. Everything there feels more intimate, even the safaris. Aquila feels like it's designed for mass tourism; even the safari vehicles are trucks, and it's particularly overwhelming to see so many people when everyone gathers for coffee after the safari. We enjoyed seeing the animals, but it felt like they were all just in one area together. At Inverdorn, you drive around, search, and find them, which adds to the thrill. Here, you see everyone at once, and that's it. The two-story bungalows are too dark. The food was okay, I especially liked the ostrich! We won't be going back to Aquila; Inverdorn is much better. Oh, and it was our first time experiencing a safari in heavy rain!

The hotel is great, very natural and peaceful, but the safari game drive just 5/10.

The most amazing stay! Aquila is a giant safari reserve and your stay is situated within the reserve. Excellent full board service so you only have to pay for your own drinks. The facilities and scenery are next to none. Amazing views and great accommodation. Situated in the middle of nowhere you are surrounded by wildlife and the ultimate stargazing opportunity. This stay is a must! I won’t post any pictures of the animals as I don’t want to spoil it for all future travellers.

It was nice hotel and very good safari games for first time. Food was ok, but bakery could be better, also it’s very strange that soft drinks are not included even water of box juiced. I have booked quite expensive room, and hoped that my children could use indoor pool, however they were not allowed to use it as there is restrictions for children under 16 years old. It was big frustration and most important for us was this pool.

Very great place to have a touristic and family friend safari experience. Lots of families with kids, but there’s also the SPA with separate pool and areas for 16+.

The view of the room is just Perfect! The staff is so helpful as well, they kindly help us carry the luggage to our rooms without us asking for help. The safari drive is also wonderful. Thank you for everything
