Delicious Buffets

The buffet meals at Aquila were varied and offered a wide selection of dishes to satisfy all appetites. While there were a few items that weren't to our taste, I always found enough delicious options to indulge in at each meal. I particularly enjoyed how the meals catered to both kids and adults. The desserts were good too!

Relaxing Spa Experience

The spa at Aquila is absolutely stunning! My family and I treated ourselves to some rejuvenating treatments, and the massages were incredibly relaxing. After a long day of exciting game drives, it was the perfect way to unwind and refresh.

Stunning Premier Cottage

We stayed in the Premier Cottage which was breathtakingly beautiful. The room was spacious with an enormous bed, and I loved having the outdoor shower where I could look out at the reserve. It was a unique experience to catch glimpses of elephants and hippos right from our cottage!

Kid-Friendly Environment

I was pleasantly surprised by the childminding services available at Aquila. My little one was happily entertained with plenty of toys, allowing my partner and me to enjoy game drives without worry. The safaris were also child-friendly and catered perfectly to younger guests.
