Our expert guides will take you on thrilling game drives, where you can observe the Big 5 and a variety of other wildlife species up-close and in-person, from graceful giraffes and formidable hippos, to quirky ostriches and iconic zebras. Join us at Aquila Safaris for a chance to be a part of our ongoing conservation story safeguarding South Africa’s wildlife heritage for generations to come.
Founded as a wildlife sanctuary and natural reserve habitat close to Cape Town, Aquila Private Game Reserve reintroduced the white rhino back to the Western Cape after a 200-year regional extinction, marking Aquila’s continued commitment to wildlife conservation and education within the Cape. We believe that by understanding and appreciating our wildlife heritage, we can contribute to its preservation and existence in the modern world.Â
