Aquila's Restaurant

Big 5 Safari Dining Experience

Situated at the heart of Aquila’s Big 5 Reserve lodge, our triple-volume restaurant offers an exquisite dining experience coupled with panoramic views of the reserve. Designed in harmony with Aquila’s African-style architecture, the upstairs viewing area and floor-to-ceiling windows provide an ideal vantage point for guests to enjoy a cocktail while watching the sun set behind the majestic Karoo mountains.
