Aquila Game Reserve

At a mere 2-hour drive from Cape Town, Aquila Private Game Reserve is the closest game reserve to the Mother City and therefore also the most popular for visitors to Cape Town.  Aquila Game Reserve offers Big 5 safari experiences and superb hospitality. Aquila Game Reserve is a 10 000-hectare private game reserve in the Klein Karoo, and although the game reserves close to Cape Town are not as populated as those in the Kruger National Park and Eastern Cape, it still provides a good introduction to wildlife and an intriguing experience. The safari drives are hosted by highly experienced and passionate rangers who will guide, educate, and entertain you.  Game drives at Aquila Game Reserve take place in open 4×4 vehicles twice a day and guests can also join an exciting horseback or quadbike safari. This Cape Town safari affords you the opportunity to see the Big 5 as well as an abundance of wildlife including zebra, giraffe, and a variety of antelope. The reserve is home to a large bird colony and diverse flora across the landscape.

Aquila Game Reserve houses a fantastic lodge surrounded by spectacular views, allowing guests to soak in the tranquillity of the African landscapes.  With multiple accommodation options including luxury rooms and cottages as well as family suites, it is the ideal setting for a breath-taking getaway.  Enjoy glorious indoor and outdoor pools surrounded by remarkable scenery and relish world-class cuisine in one of the authentically styled dining areas.  End the nights at Aquila Game Reserve gazing at glistening African skies before retreating to a haven of luxurious tranquillity.
