Aquila Game Reserve is the closest Big 5 game reserve to Cape Town, making it the perfect full-day escape from the city. On this worry-free private safari, you'll spot Africa's iconic Big Five — lions, elephants, rhinos, Cape buffalo, and leopards — as well as the endangered Aquila Black Eagle and over 170 bird species in a completely malaria-free environment.
Hotel pickup from central Cape Town is included, and with family-friendly facilities at the reserve — including a curio shop, mini-golf, giant chess, and childcare — this trip is ideal for guests of all ages.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your central Cape Town hotel in an air-conditioned coach. Travel comfortably through the scenic Hex River Valley and into the southern Karoo semi-desert landscape en route to Aquila.
Meet your guide and game ranger at the reserve. Aquila is a private, malaria-free reserve set in a dramatic Karoo landscape — one of the most accessible and rewarding safari experiences near Cape Town.
Climb into an open-air safari vehicle to begin your game drive. Keep your eyes peeled for Africa's Big Five — African elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, leopards, and rhinos — along with giraffes, hippos, and the iconic Aquila Black Eagle. The reserve's large wetland area supports over 170 bird species, making it a birder's paradise.
After the game drive, enjoy some time at the reserve before your comfortable return drive back to central Cape Town.
