 Since the 4-star Aquila Private Game Reserve was founded, its ethos and that of their team of dedicated staff, has always been to educate guests on the importance of wildlife conservation, how it affects us all and what we as individuals can do to protect it and indeed the environment.
Aquila is not yet another luxury game reserve and lodge, its primary purpose is to offer an educational experience to all who visit in the hope that knowledge will enrich our understanding of the importance of living in harmony with Mother Nature.
Over the years, Aquila Private Game Reserve has gone to massive efforts and expense to source and re-introduce wildlife into the Cape region so that local residents and visitors alike can benefit from the same and therefore we are proud to offer a real safari for the first time in 250 years.
Aquila are especially proud of their efforts of reintroducing lions and lion cubs that have been saved from a doomed ‘canned lion' fate. The support from industry, local and international media has been outstanding and reiterates the ongoing efforts and stance against animal cruelty - such as the despicable canned lion hunting industry. Aquila's lions thrive in their massive sanctuary while enjoying the breathtaking terrain of mountains, valleys, rivers and kloofs.
Safari Options
 Morning and evening game drives with qualified field rangers in open 4x4 vehicles. Game drives last between 2-3 hours with sparkling wine, grape juice, water and snacks such as biltong, "droewors", nuts and dried fruits served at various lookout points. Blankets and raincoats are made available to guests on the 4x4 vehicles.
Aquila has several safari options on offer. These enable guests to experience the reserve in a way that best suits their interests and schedules. Travel to Aquila can be included in your package or you may also choose to drive to Aquila in your own car if that suits your plans better..
