Have Fun Learning about South Africa’s Wildlife

One of the highlights of a visit to Aquila is our Big 5 safari game drive, where children of all ages can join their parents in the excitement of spotting majestic animals. Imagine the joy on your child’s face as they witness elephants, lions, rhinos and more, up close!

“Our kids are begging us to go back again! The experiences they had have continued to be present in our conversations as we remember how the baby springbok wobbled and then even jumped on his stick thin legs and how enjoyable the bumpy safari tuck drive was!

We bonded, breathed and felt thoroughly refreshed after our stay at Aquila Private Game Lodge.”
