What Sets the Aquila Game Reserve Tour Apart

1. Big 5 Safari Only Two Hours From Cape Town. Aquila is one of the closest full Big 5 reserves to Cape Town, making it ideal for travelers who want an authentic wildlife experience without long travel times.

2. Conservation-Focused Experiences
Aquila stands out for its wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and protection efforts. Guests don’t just see animals—they learn how the reserve actively safeguards endangered species like rhinos.

3. Scenic Karoo Landscape
The reserve is set in a dramatic, open Karoo valley surrounded by mountains—a very different environment from typical bushveld safaris, offering rare photographic backdrops.

4. Variety of Safari Styles
Not many reserves offer so many ways to explore:
4x4 game drives
Horseback safaris
Quad-bike adventures
Sunrise or sunset tours

5. Luxury Meets Nature
Aquila blends comfort with wilderness—infinity pools, spa facilities, and lodge dining make it feel like a safari and retreat in one.
