- Aquila Private Game Reserve - Start your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in central Cape Town, where you’ll be whisked away in a climate-controlled coach to the secluded and disease-free Aquila Game Reserve, nestled in the heart of the southern Karoo semi-desert. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by your knowledgeable guide and game ranger. Then, embark on an exhilarating open-air safari ride to explore the wilderness. Discover the origins of the term ‘Big Five’ - referring to African elephants, Cape buffaloes, lions, leopards, and rhinos - as you scan the horizon for these majestic creatures, along with giraffes, hippos, and a variety of other wildlife. The reserve is celebrated for its diverse bird population, largely due to its expansive wetland habitat. Home to over 170 bird species, it’s also the habitat of the rare ‘Aquila’ Black Eagle, which lends its name to the reserve.
