Explore the Reserve with full Day Aquila Game Reserve Big 5 Safari from Cape Town.
Visit Cape Town’s Big 5 game reserve to view elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, and Cape buffalo. Aquila’s owner, Searl Derman, is well-known for his knowledge of Cape and African wildlife. A genuine safari experience should be accessible to Cape Town locals and visitors at an affordable price, according to Derman. It was in 2001 that he established the Aquila Private Game Reserve, with the name Aquila Verreauxii, after a rare black eagle. An important attraction in Cape Town, the reserve is a malaria-free conservation area.




This Private Game Reserve offers an all-inclusive African safari only two hours outside of Cape Town. There are amazing opportunities to see the Big 5 at Aquila Private Game Reserve, one of South Africa’s top luxury safari destinations. Be on the lookout for lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo, and other smaller animals such as zebra, giraffe, antelopes, hippos, etc. Relax in the 4-star luxury accommodation that Aquila Private Game Reserve has become renowned for.
