Aquila Game Reserve Cape Town Safari
Description
The Aquila Private Game Reserve, located in the Southern Karoo Highlands outside Cape Town, offers a Big Five African safari experience in a malaria-free region. Tours and game drives of the private reserve allow visitors to see wildlife in their natural environment from the vantage point of a 4WD off-road vehicle, horseback, or quad bike. Enjoy a South African game drive on a private day tour. Head into the wilderness at the Aquila Private Game Reserve on the lookout Cape Town and the surrounds have a warm, dry climate from October to April. The weather is a bit cooler in the Southern Karoo Highlands than in the city itself, so pack accordingly. The animals are most active in the early morning and after dusk; booking a morning or evening safari offers the best chance of seeing maximum wildlife.

MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE! best safari and most amazing food and drink options with good bedrooms too i would just be prepared for waking up early for the safari! would rate it 10 stars if i could and the pool was also amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💛🦁
I was so disappointed, 4 elephants, 4 lions, and the elephants were too far from us. No Leopards. How can you call yourself Big 5 but no Leopards. It's a cheating business. I will never recommend anyone to go there.
We were excited to add to our marvellous Kruger experience. The residential area at Aquila looked amazing. Getting into an observation cruiser was way more complicated than it need be BUT our guide ‘Teager’ was excellent and tried hard to make our experience memorable. The number & diversity of the animals made his job harder. only 3 giraffe in the park, three dozey lions asleep at the gate didnt help. A clutch of rhino’s and a dozen or so zebra, up close just about did our 2 hours to get there, 2 hour safari and two hours to return. Lunch, whilst quality & plentiful was hardly African.
Highly recommended, our 2 day stay was amazing, our game drives with Kianu and Max were informative, teaching us about the wildlife. all the staff were very friendly and professional a true reflection on Dougal Paterson the GM’s management skills, thank you for a memorable few days. Hope to be back soon A&M
I have just returned from a two day stay at Inverdoon Game Reserve 2 and half hours from Cape Town. Inverdoon is advertised as a Big Five Game Reserve. Inverdoon is NOT a game reserve. It is more like a game park with a few animals which are supplementary fed to survive in that arid environment. In my opinion Inverdoon is falsly and inaccurately advertised. Overseas visitors that we met whilst being at the reserve were hugely disappointed as they all felt they were going on Safari to this big five game reserve. It gives overseas visitors a false idea of South African Game Reserves and cannot be good for our tourism. The accommodation is acceptable as is their food. but the idea that this a game reserve is a misrepresentation.
Thanks for the stay. Myself and my wife had a great time. The animals, views, people was all a pleasure. See you next time.
We have had a wonderful experience on our tour,we really recommend you and will be using your service again and again,really loved it
