Safaris out of Cape town - what you'll see
Wildlife & BirdsThe Big 5 roam freely on the Aquila Game Reserve. These are the lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo and Mountain Leopard. Other well known animals you'll see are hippopotamus, giraffe, herds of wildebeest (gnu), zebra, springbok, eland, jackal and many others.
Here are some pictures of the wild animals you'll see on the reserve: Safari wildlife pictures
There are also about 172 species of bird life including the endangered Black Eagle of which several breeding pairs are found here. There are also flamingos which congregate in the wetland in the winter season.
You can choose between day and overnight safari packages at Aquila. These include the traditional guided 4x4 game drive which incorporates visits to original Khoisan rock painting sites, horseback safaris for ages 15 yrs and older which allow you to get that much closer to the animals, or a combination of the two which is very popular. If you're feeling adventurous, there are also quad bike safaris.
Children are welcome at the game reserve. Under 4 is no charge, and you'll only pay half price for ages 4-11.
Facilities
These safari packages include meals and allow you plenty of time to enjoy the facilities at the reserve. On the Day Safari for example, you'll have ample time to cool off in the swimming pool, and browse the curio shop before returning to Cape Town.
Safaris out of Cape town
If you go for an overnight safari you'll be spending your first morning at the Aquila Game Reserve at the salt water swimming pool in summer, or close to a warm log fire in the lounge, in winter. That evening after your wildlife safari you'll enjoy a traditional African dinner or braai (barbecue).
The reserve is well known for its luxury chalet accommodation. You'll be spending the night in Premier or Luxury chalets which are built from natural materials on the reserve. The Premier chalets are private and air conditioned. There's even a honey moon suite with a jacuzzi and great views.
