Highlights

Aquila Game Reserve

Day 1

Aquila Game Reserve

Welcome to South Africa! This is the moment when your safari gets underway, and after a few brief formalities, you'll head out to start a journey where you'll be looking for animals and enjoying that amazing South African safari experience.

Malaria-free Aquila Game Reserve is South Africa’s ultimate quick-fix safari destination and the closest Big Five sanctuary to Cape Town. It protects a haunting Karoo landscape of shallow pans and rocky mountains where every guided game drive comes with a near-certainty of encountering elephant, white rhino, buffalo and lion. You should also see giraffe, zebra and various antelope, and there's also a small chance of black rhino and (very unusually) leopard.
